In this video I make a two piece glidebait and try to make it more of a topwater lure.

I really like how you explain the weights and displacements.
Great job again Franco. I think that fabric hinge deserves another test with the fabric wet to get a fair shake.
Thank you again I hope all is well nice fish on the new lure! I appreciate the repetitiveness and I appreciate ur time put into making greatly engineered lures.

Thank you for simplifying the way to determine weight required on each section to get close to complete suspension. I spent a day going thru density formulas and metric conversions till brain failure!! Started to go up in the attic to find my old fluid dynamics book from college. A book stored for 54 years😵💫😵💫.

That glide bait not only looked great but had fantastic action! There's something about foiling a bait that makes it look so much better. I think going with one hinge was a smart move and probably helped with the action. Great job as always! Always look forward to Friday's with Franco!

Hello Franco, Great build and paint job! Really enjoyed this video. Sure you saw the flash coming off this paint finish during the water test - really cool. Love the fishing action on “the one that got away”. You are keeping it real. One question, we tend to paint artificial baits that appeal to our eye, but on deep diving lures have you use any paint schemes around the colors that are more visible to fish in low light condition at deeper depths? I think blus are the most visible ant deeper depths. Pattern, scales and lateral lines, is probability important.

I'm impressed with your ability to cut free handed. I was surprised that you didn't make this lure with a fabric hinge, I like the idea. Are you going to do more of them?
@EngineeredAngler

fabric hinges necessitate building the lure in halves. That means four parts on a two segment lure. It's a lot of work and takes a lot of time. If you like continuous hinges the best thing is to make a mold where you can imbed the fabric and cast the lure around the hinge.

Oh man what a fish to lose! Great looking lure, one of the best paint jobs yet I reckon. Gonna have to make one myself. Can I ask why the premade hinge eye, rather than just your own twist eye? Also you mentioned it diving a little more than you wanted - is that down to the front end being less bouyant, or a combination of things including profile etc? Love the lure mate. I am finishing off a wooden version of your latest lipless crank tomorrow, tested it and it swims well. Thanks again Franco, keep up the top work 👍 👏
@EngineeredAngler

For single hinges the thicker pre-made eyes gives a tighter fit. The head down posture is the problem, I put a bit too much weight in the head.
That bait looks great. How much does that joint do? Thinking of making one but if I do it would be a single piece.
Awesome build

Franko that was an absolute beautiful lure. Extremely great job on the paint scheme. Love watching your video's. Here is a question of the week for you. What would you consider to be the optimum angle for a bib in a traditionally made stick bait? I have used 45 degrees. Looking forward to your answer.
@FreedomFishing
11 ай бұрын
He has a series called Crankbait Master Class. It's three parts, and may help! I would guess the angle depends on how the lure balances in the water first though. Then as long as the line tie is below the center of drag, a steeper angle will make the lure wake, and every time you go shallower and shallower with the angle of the bib it'll dive deeper and deeper.

You ever have any of those line or hook eyes pull out of a lure when you hook a big fish or from extensive use? That would be my biggest worry if I tried build a lure. That's a beautiful bait!

No, never had a failure of a hook eye. I did some videos testing the strength, you should check them out.
Nice one this week! Do you have a good source for premade dive bibs/lips or any tips on making them? I am trying to make a trolling bait for Spanish and want a thick, solid dove bib, so I don’t think my normal homemade plastic will work.
@EngineeredAngler

I get my pre-made bibs from lure parts online
seems like it was worth making to me, although it would have been better if you landed that fish. I had a 45"+ striper straighten a 3/0 treble on me a couple of weeks ago which still is leaving a pain in my gut. I was actually going to ask a few weeks ago about making a glide bait or a glide bait master class. I was trying to make one and was having trouble finding details on the correct design characteristics. It came out ok, even though i needed to take it apart several times.
Bananas! You lost him but hey next time…. Thanks for the video Marco I’m going to try to build my first glide bait, 🤞

How do you decide what sort of hinge to make? I've seen you do at least 4 different sorts. Round joint, V joint, double joint, and the fabric joint. Do these actually work differently and have different function?

Not taking into consideration the type of fish you're after or the conditions you'll be fishing in...I would use minimum 20lb braid with a 4000 series reel and keep my lures lighter than 2 oz. But you might want to talk to some local anglers. Good luck.

A completely selfish request: floating rat-l-trap. I have recently gained access to a river dam. There are lots of logs and stuff to get caught on and I have been using a silver floating rat-l-trap but the gar have been killing it.

Good afternoon, I am your follower and a great admirer of your work on KZread and I believe that only you can solve my problem. I make artificial lures with a propeller for fishing in the Amazon rivers of the great Tucunarés Açus. The bait that is very successful here in Brazil is the High Roller (14cm), however, some baits that I produce tend to come out on the side, when performing the work with a vigorous touch with the tip of a rod, they pull to the side, not swimming from straight shape towards the fisherman, which would be correct, with each vigorous touch, they come out a little to the side. I've already looked for information on the internet and I haven't found a satisfactory solution that could solve the problem. Therefore, I believe that you would be the only person with the necessary knowledge to approach this topic and all its variables that lead to this recurring problem and, as a natural consequence, a quality bait! Grateful for the attention!
@EngineeredAngler

There are a few possible contributing factors. First, if you are hand shaping the lure you could create an asymmetric shap that would not track straight. Second, if the propeller does not spin freely it will make the lure to drift to one side. Third, if the shape is too narrow at the nose it can cause too much turbulence. It could be a combination of these factors. Send me some photos... EngineeredAngler@gmail.com
