The Big 'Gill in lower right corner is super lookin'.. Always wondered if you guys doing the photo finish tech's make your lure to fit the print, or somehow manage to fit the print to the lure!.. haha.. Great looking lure, really like that big bluegill.. John -
"so I wonder , wether you have found any noticeable difference in swimming action concerning the two tow eye positions horizontal and vertical ?".. Definitely a difference, thru experimenting with the 2 positions.. I like the horz. better.. When you're twitching/jerking, the lure moves upwards more toward surface which I like alot & it seems to be more reaction sensitive to the rod tip twitches on the side to side action as well.. Ive made alot of thru-wired lures for Musky & Stripers & the line loop is horizontal for a reason on those lures(pikies & swimmers).. You tune the lure by bending the loop up/down.. A downward bend makes the lure rise, & upward bend makes it go deeper.. I wanted the gliders to work shallower even with the added weight & the horizontal tie does the trick.. So now they go deep if you want but will run close to surface too.. John -
