Thanks for the feed back, i will definitely try that

Sorry if im in the wrong section but i wanted to share my progress on making glide baits. First bait was maybe july/2023 and the bottom was a week ago. Best thing is they actually glide/swim instead of roll to tye surface. I still need to get better with my carvings as that hasnt improved much, i can't seem to get those nice crisp cuts that i see others make. Maybe im not sanding enough??.

Thank you all for the help, does type of wood matter? Im wondering if that might be an issue aswell.

Im working on another one, i guess i should probably test to see what works before carving and painting next time lol

Im trying to make more realistic lures and im wondering if anyone can point out from this photo why my bait has pretty much no action. I placed weight almost exactly on center, its almost a slow rising and i also tried sanding the bib to give it sharper edges. I tried adding a second anchor point closer to the bib but it didnt do much. The only thing i can think of is angle or size/shape of bib is bad? Iv been making lures for a few months now and i really would like to get this right, i kinda ruined this one with superglue trying to add a second anchor point but its a good learning experience. Anyhelp would be appreciated and sorry if this is posted on wrong subject.
