Charlie Brewer is a nationally-known fishing celebrity and lure inventor. You can read the fascinating life story of Charlie Brewer by clicking here. Charlie Brewer passed away in early 2000. Thanks, Charlie, for inventing an important part of our sport and for becoming an important person in our bass fishing history. Charlie's most famous invention is the soft plastic Slider worm and Slider method of fishing it, plus weighted jig heads custom-designed for them.
Sliders are still highly popular and productive lures in lightweight bass sizes.
It's an entire philosophy. I think that every ten years or so, a new generation of bass fishermen joins the ranks. If you started bass fishing during the nineties, then you may not have seen or heard much about Slider fishing. His original philosophy still exists in book form, plus a beefy addendum written to supplement the book, and a video. Where slider fishing excels.
