DoomDiver Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 So after months of distractions I was finally able to finish up the supersized glide. It comes in at 10.5 inches and 7 ounces and is modeled after the first glide I made. A couple of the progress pics can be found below: Here it is featured below a 6inch bull shad. My cousin (who this is going to) wanted to have a swivel integrated right into the tow point of the lure. This way there isn't a split ring that will wear down/fail and if the swivel gets messed up it can just be cut off instead of it being useless, buried in the wood. It sports 4/0 mustad triple grip hooks and size 5 owner split rings which really makes the bait feel like a musky lure. It also has a spot for a stinger hook on the back (size 1) as he was saying sometimes the fish would just mouth the tail but didn't want to inhale the 7 inch glide I sent him. IMG_6724.MOV IMG_6725.MOV I'm going to have to revisit this at some point as I love the look of the bait but I was hoping to get a wider glide out of it. I'm sure if I had more hours throwing it I could find the right cadence to get the proper motion. On an ultra slow retrieve it looks pretty great though.

Definitely a niche use IMO but given the right circumstances I think this will be the ticket for a big one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
