Maple Gliders
Hey guys, I love to fish with gliders just a foot to a few feet under the surface. Typically gliders are long narrow profile like a spook. I've found that weighting a standard glider by splitting the weight between the front and the rear while maintaining a level drop works best for me. With this panfish profile I started making in the fall, I'm using a single weight in front of the belly hook. With short taps of the rod these little things just about turn all the way around, left then right with belly flash at each turn. I'm real happy with the way these cast as well. I've made larger ones and although they work as well ,it's kind of like casting a small frying pan. Maple, 2.25oz, 4.25" Foiled, glass eyes, airbrushed and E-tex
