Megabass I-Slide 187 R Spare Tail: Restore and Customize Your Glide

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that a swimbait is only as good as its action—and the tail is the engine that drives it. The Megabass I-Slide 187 R Spare Tail is a vital accessory for any serious predator angler. Whether your original tail has been battle-scarred by toothy Pike or has become “set” (bent) during storage, these official replacements ensure your I-Slide maintains its signature, seductive S-motion.

The “R” (Revolution) series tail has been specifically redesigned to offer more sinuous movement and increased responsiveness compared to previous models. Made from high-durability elastomer, it provides the perfect balance of flexibility for natural swimming and toughness to withstand aggressive strikes. Beyond repairs, these spare tails are a powerful tool for lure customization, allowing you to swap colors to create high-visibility “sight-fishing” targets or subtle, natural profiles to match changing light conditions.

Why Keep Spare Tails in Your Box?

A damaged or deformed tail can ruin the balance of a high-end glide bait. Here is why the Spare Tail is a “must-have” for your tackle bag:

Restore Original Performance: If an I-Slide is stored improperly and the tail becomes bent or “curly,” the lure will no longer track in a true S-pattern. Replacing the tail instantly restores the factory-tuned stability and glide.
Sight Fishing Tactics: Swapping to a high-visibility color like Chartreuse or Pink allows you to track your lure in deep or murky water. This is essential for “working” a following fish—seeing the lure helps you time that crucial 360-degree snap perfectly.
“Bite-Proof” Insurance: Large Pike and saltwater predators often target the tail of a swimbait. Having a spare on hand means a single aggressive strike won’t end your fishing session.
Economic Lure Life Extension: Instead of replacing a premium swimbait because of a torn tail, a small investment in a spare part keeps your favorite “lucky” lure in the water for years.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: To install, simply moisten the base of the new tail with a little water or lure scent.¹⁰ Insert the tail into the rear slot, pushing with your thumb while gently pulling from the top to lock it into the internal groove.¹¹ Crucial Storage Tip: To prevent the tail from warping, always store your I-Slide in its original blister case or remove the tail entirely between sessions
