One piece glidebait

[Papas82]

LHL cheers mate. Thanks for the input. It could be actually that i twitch and jerk way to hard even though i try to be gentle. ( that sounded funny actually, i try to jerk gentle lol).

I also start to think that maybe i should add more microballoons in my lure. What's your way there if i can ask?

I use 16% by weight from part A but it could be that maybe i should go for the double? Idk, the only problem is that the lure will require more weight to get stabilised and I'll have a challenge to fit it under the belly.

I also considered pouring first 1/4 of the lure ( belly section) only resin mixed with some tungsten powder and then pour with microballoons.

I carve everything out of wood so I know nothing about resin haha. Perhaps someone with more experience can chime in.

I am a bit late to the party but one piece gliders can absolutely swim like a 2 piece glider. My glides swim with a nice S-pattern and the fall perfectly horizontal with a shimmy. Because they sink perfectly horizontal with a slow fall, they will sink to the bottom and stand on their hooks without falling over. Making the belly thinner than the top and putting the weight as low as you can gives you a very strong shimmy on the fall. I won a fair amount of money with these baits in tournaments. Smallmouths in crystal clear water love them and will come up from 20 feet to get them.

I also found this that might be used as a reference.
