It's chunky. 4.5 OZs

Thing looks like awesome though. Would you recommend the normal bullgill over the glide then?

If you've got the gear, sure. Like I said, it's big. The Bull Gill is 2 oz. This bait is 4.5. There's a big difference side by side, but the Bull Glide isn't a giant bait by big bait standards. If you can only have one to start I'd suggest the Bull Gill.

I was thinking of grabbing a bullgill and a 4x4 for both profiles to start out. I’m throwing all these on a dobyns 806. I also see a lot of these baits hold value pretty well which gives me piece of mind if I end up not liking one.

Last year I made a mold for a 9" Sluggo. Then I dremelled  it wider and fatter, then added a flat fin at the back.  I poured a bunch until I got the right rainbow trout look I wanted.  This is a big fat striper bait I hope.  I still haven't fished it because I realized I'd snap the rods I have.  This year I hope.

 

We get striper boils in the summer time but I don't want the schoolies.  I want Mogambo Mama hanging out under them.  A few 20+ get caught every year on cut bait there.  But I want to fool one.

Bull Gill Glide is on the bottom.

The secondary market is very strong for swimbaits. Like you said, you can basically rent baits sometimes.
