I've been working on a few things for the new season. I made a couple new small profile gliders that had worked very well last year. They swim very naturally on a slow retrieve, but short taps really get them chasing their tail for a nice underwater walk the dog. They are maple, 4.5" long and 2.25 oz. The ballast weight is a .490 muzzle load placed just in front of the belly hook. The next is a darter for boat fishing with no current to speak of. It is 8" long and weighs 3.25 oz, with a ballast weight between the two belly hooks. I've found that this placement helps it dig a little better for my application. And the last is a carved popper. Oddly enough there are not many, if any poppers for Musky, even though top water lures can be a very productive presentation.
