My lures have neutral bouyancy. Also I tried to change a ballast on this bait and made its slowly sinking or on the contrary with small positive buoyancy. I moved a ballast to a back part of a lure but it also has not given result. Correction of the form has given essential effect. Milled holes for a ballast are made specially for the maximal displacement of a ballast downwards for suppression of rocking of a bait at jerk.

mark poulson I agree with you. As the basic weight of a lure it is concentrated in bottom, turning moment directing a forward part of a lure downwards is created at jerk. Forward eye on my lure big and I tried to turn in it, but I have not noticed essential difference. I shall try to repeat this experiment still.

Yes I wanted to ask - as it is made? With application of grids or other regular pattern all is clear. Effects only interesting. If dark a stain in blue gill are made through a stencil - interestingly as the stencil is made? It is cut simply out manually? Thank for advice for thumbing over the bristles to splatter the paint on to the lure. I shall try it. Dmitry.

I tried to change balancing, it has not given effect. I have a little changed the form of the same lure, have made sharper a forward part and have more strongly rounded off edges on a back. In result parasitic action has essentially decreased.

I was interested with three effects which I want to represent at painting the my lures. Effect of a smoke. Effect of spots. Effect splashes. Prompt as it to make. Thanks. Dmitry.

@diemai In this case I did not want that the bait went more deeply. I wanted that it went on equal horizon. Bait with zero buoyancy. I tried to turn in forvard eye, seen changes have not taken place. @jamie I use a different tree. Density from 0,4 up to 0,75 g/cm3 On this bait the linden is used. Density of a tree 0,4-0,5 and after impregnation approximately 0,6 Not always evently distribution of weight on a bait plays a positive role. If the centre of gravity rises above, on jerk there are belly flash action, and glider action considerably worsens. I achieved excellent gliders from a tree a hornbeam, its density 0,75 and after impregnation even is higher 0,8. But the form of these lures was symmetric and round for example similar to Viper. And the same hornbeam on the similar form resulted to belly flash action. I investigated distribution of weight to the some jerkbait the similar form. Plastic SAVAGEAR frestiler it is very similar under the form to this form and it works perfectly, for it the centre of gravity displacement from the geometrical center downwards on 1/6 its heights. It is a lot of, the weight is considerably concentrated in the bottom part of a bait. Such it is possible to achieve only applying the easiest trees. Dmitry Russia

Frequently double action is underlined as advantage of a jerkbait. For example the diver with glider action . I sometimes face with a problem that glider has parasitic action of the diver. I want to make good glider, but it at jerk pecks nose downwards. Because of it the glide length is reduced and rate of retrieve is slowed down. Photo of a lure - an example from the last. I tried, to load a tail of lure. The lure works better but at sharp jerks all the same pecks nose downwards. The problem disappears in the form of a lure. I have noticed such law - if the lure on uniform retrieve has no own game that it does not peck downwards. Lure which have on equal retrieve rolling over with a side sideways slow game just suffer it. Share the reasons - what form should have good for glider, and what forms will be obviously erroneous. _______________________________________________________________ Dmitry ************* Russia,
