Poppa Pete - G-Ratt Baits

G-Ratt Baits Poppa Pete Glide Bait

The Poppa Pete from G-Ratt Baits is built to tempt the biggest predators in both fresh and saltwater. Designed with trophy bass, snook, jacks, and other aggressive game fish in mind, this premium glide bait delivers a lifelike swimming action and the toughness needed to handle monster fish.

Specs & Build

• Length & Weight: 10″ body, slow-sinking, and a solid 5 oz build for long casts and precise presentations.

• Hardware: Heavy-duty construction with rotating hangers, corrosion-resistant split rings, and size 2/0 trebles built to handle brutal strikes.

• Tail Design: Easily replaceable soft tails, allowing quick swaps to keep the bait looking natural after multiple catches.

• Sink Rate: Extremely slow sink in a perfectly level position, ideal for maintaining strike-zone presence.

Action & Presentation

• Wide Glide: On slow reel cranks, Poppa Pete glides with long, smooth, side-to-side sweeps that mimic a relaxed or injured baitfish.

• Erratic Retrieval: Speed it up and it breaks into an unpredictable, baitfish-like darting action that triggers reaction bites.

• Silent Approach: Built without rattles for a stealthy presentation that shines in pressured waters or clear conditions where fish spook easily.

Target Species & Applications

• Freshwater: Trophy largemouth bass, striped bass, musky.

• Saltwater: Snook, tarpon, jacks, and other powerful inshore hunters.

• Best Fished: Around structure, ambush zones, and areas holding large forage — docks, mangrove edges, weedlines, and drop-offs.

Why Poppa Pete Works

• Realistic glide and slow-sink profile keeps the bait in the strike zone longer.

• Big, natural presence draws in trophy-class fish from a distance.

• Built with heavy-duty hardware and rotating hangers so you don’t lose fish of a lifetime.

• Replaceable tail system means longer life and easy customization.
