RiverSmallieGuy Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 I am trying to build a 7" very chunky trout 2pc glidebait from cedar, and I have the bait carved and ready to weigh, It is an inch thick and a little over an inch and a half tall. How much weight should I need to put in this bait to get it to sink very slowly? I am going to be using some size 1 bronze trebles with normal sized swimbait split rings. I have not cut the bait in half, but the joint is a 45 degree angle joint. Where would you guys place the weight, and how much of it? I want to make a big, smooth swimming glidebait to fish this spring along with my Huddleston style baits. (And yes, I know that line where the wood was glued together is not a perfect center line. The bait is indeed symmetrical, I made sure of it) Thanks! Braden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverSmallieGuy Posted February 25, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Forgot to mention-- I am going to be using twisted wire hardware, and there is going to be a fixed Lexan tail fin. I know that Lexan sinks, so I thought I would mention that. Braden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
