I didn't say they were fun baits to work for 12 hours straight Larry

Thanks Lew. I'll give it a try. With this catch and release fishery, pressured fish learn from previous hookups. The more variety the better. Although I think if there is an active fish nearby, they would likely grab anything.

Another fun Jerk-bait (Glider) to work is the Hellhound by ERC, I particularly like the smaller Hellpuppy. They can be worked slow with a nice steady sub-surface walk-the-dog retrieve, or fast and they really dart side to side and up and down erractically, especially the 'Puppy...Here is a few custom painted examples by Bare Bones Baits.

I like to make them less buoyant so when you pause the retrieve the bait will hang where it is rather than popping to the surface.

 

The fish will often hit the Suick as soon as you make the next jerk.

 

Adding additional weights is very simple

 

Cut a groove with a chisel

 

 

Drop in the weights

 

 

Cover with 5 minute epoxy and repaint

 

No need to be fussy with the paint cause the muskies don't care what it looks like.

 

 

Those are small stick-on wheel weights that you can get from any shop that balances wheels.

 

ill have to give that a try

If was on a Kawarthas lake and had two choices of lure they would be,

Silver bladed black bucktail, and this perch Super Shad Rap.
