Bull Gill modified to glide?

Has anyone tried tightening all the joints on a bull Gill/Shad except the middle joint? Kinda turning it into a glide? I’m just curious to see if anyone’s tried it. I personally have not. If my lakes weren’t frozen I’d give it a go

Ive never fished one but you would probably have to get them piss tight so the joints have 0 movement could be wrong though also not sure what style the joints are it may be easier to put bumpers in the joints to close em up

Yeah, the joints are pretty much flat. I don’t think I could get super tight but could probably get very little movement out of them. Might have to be a spring experiment.

Interesting idea, may have to experiment myself. Maybe get a gantarel type action where it’s swims and kicks out on the pause

That would be cool. It’s gotta do something different, just don’t know what, lol. They seem very well balanced so I don’t think it would roll or blow out much, if at all.
