aulrich Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 So I am using this Grandma lure pattern http://wobblerbaujw.jimdo.com/schablonen/wobbler/ and it seems I need to make a couple of assumptions. 1 the lure width = the corresponding lip width 2 the lure has a straight top view so dead flat sides Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aulrich Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 You know I would like to use the "it's a different language" excuse for missing that, thanks for pointing it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulrich Posted April 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 As a side question, would there be any reason this lure shape would not work as a glider/stick bait. given proper ballast. About the only other difference would be the tow point I would think it would have to move to the front or above the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonpluggergino Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I build lots of glide baits and the best lengths are the following 15 cm, 19 cm, and by 25 mm thick and not wider than 45 mm. The Grandmas are probably made out of softer wood where the glide baits they are made of hardwood like Maple White Oak. I stopped making baits over 22 cm it takes lots more lead and they just do not glide as good, my favored length is 19 cm. Hope this helps Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 @ aulrich To utilize that "GrandMa" shape as a glider/stickbait I would tend to turn it upside down , .......dunno exactly why , but in that given configuration I have concerns about good function . If the back turns to belly , your main belly ballast in front would come to sit a bit deeper to stabilize the lure's upright level resulting into a better gliding performance , also you'd render the more buoyant body portion upward also providing a tendency to the lure not to cant that much on each jerk , thus better transforming the momentum into a gliding motion .
