Albooboo Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Spent a little time today and got the joint cut/sanded along with the tail slot. I also marked and drilled out lead holes. Totally eyeballing how much lead and where it needs it. Fully anticipating that I’ll need to make several adjustments to get the right sink rate. What’s y’alls preferred sink rate for big glides? Genothefisherman3 and El_Weruso 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaz96 Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Great body shape! And lots of progress for just one day. Looking forward to updates Albooboo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpy Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Great work, love the carving detail. on the sink rate i prefer a bait that sinks slowly in my test tank, when weighting i like the bait to flutter to the bottom and rest with the bait upright and the hooks extended but touching the bottom.. can't wait to see the finished bait Albooboo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Weruso Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Looks good so far! Planning to put bumper pads at the joint? Are you going for a glide or jerk motion? I only ask because it seems like there will be a ton of joint play which will lead to a more head jerk glide, whereas if you close the gap (The distance the joint travels to make contact) it'll have more of an actual glide motion.

I think the shape of the bait and the angle I cut the joint makes the gap look bigger than it is. It’s swing angle is no more than a lot of popular glides. I’m also concerned that my joint placement should have been farther back into the tail section. I’ll report back when I get it swam! Just waiting for the bait to cure now :))) El_Weruso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
