jerkbait Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 After seeing some excellant examples on here I took one of my stock glider blanks and "V" cut it. Was pretty fortunate to only destroy a couple before I got them to swim like I wanted. Didnt do the tail fin but may try it on the next generation. Stats: 6",3oz,pine shad pattern,neutral buoyant.

savacs Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Nice onre! How does it swim!! I just started on them. I destroyed a couple as well until i got the movement i wanted. Mine got a bit heavyer than i wanted it, but it works as designed to work. I'll do some more as soon as i have time for them...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apb Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Nicely done! Next time we hit the lake, we'll have to do it a little earlier than usual so we can test swim a bunch of new stuff Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark berrisford Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 nice looking lure congratulations,if you don't mind me asking does it still have a glidebait action when jerked?only ask because when i've tried something similar in the past they won't glide they only work cranked on a straight retreive.if they do glide how do you acheive it? Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverMan Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Great looking lure. I am curious too, since gliders "glide" then pause, glide, pause, I am wondering how well the tail wobbles. jed v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkbait Posted January 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 It only wiggles when you steady crank it or reel all the slack and give it a long pull. Then it will swim hard for a couple feet then just hang. I cannot get it to go side to side but it really wasnt meant to. I was thinking of doing a straight bodied glider with a jointed tail section. I tried it recently with a large spinner blade on the tail but it dampened the action to the point that it just slid straight.Thanks for the praise guys. Jerk!
