saved lure success

This is the final version of the bluegill glider that didn't glide. It wallowed.

So I cut down it's overall height, lightened it, added a bill, primed it, and took it to the pond.

It still rolled a lot, so I cut 1/8" off the bill, and now it works.

At slow and med. retrieves, it wakes, and swims.

At fast retrieves and if I burn it, it runs 6" deep, and swims great. It only rolls a little.

I used 2 coats of Nu Lustre 55 on it, and it was as easy to apply as Etex. Seemed to hold tiny bubbles a little more, and they didn't brush out too well.

But, if it doesn't fade or yellow, I'll be thrilled.
