VolunteerSwimbaits Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Handmade mother inspired glide. Its is 12" and a little over 11 ounces. Made from a fresh 2x4. Overall took about 15 hours. I got it to a slow sink after drilling out most of the lead i put in it. Somewhere around 1 foot a second + - 0.5 second. Painting it a rainbow, even though my bass here have never seen a trout. This thing is huge, and weighs a butt load, but its gonna be fun to learn. Don't expect to see this in the got'em section, but who knows? Let me know what you guys think!

Just an update, swims beautiful. Very comparable to my RM Nego, but wider. Its about a 2.5 - 3 foot glide. Very methodical and slow. Now if i had a rod and reel to handle the weight, id be able to throw it. cascadekiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never done it but saw a vid on youtube.....they put the straight ends in a vice and the "rounded over" end in a drill and used the drill to twist it up. Stopped once it was all tight, keeping a loop / hole. VolunteerSwimbaits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could look up marling baits on youtube, he does it a little different than me, but still a great way. Thanks dude!
