Making a Glide Bait, Design and Build

- I rarely fish with glide baits but I know they can be a challenge to build correctly. The action of a glide bait is really simple, they just glide when you tug the line. But if you mess up the symmetry or the weight and balance they will either only glide to one side, pull only straight, or turn hard to one side. In this video we go through the design and making of a glide bait lure, and I cover the engineering that goes into making it work.
We are moving and all my shop is packed up. For now, I have to live vicariously thru you and others until I can get to new house/shop. Hopefully my wife lets me go out and play in garage 😀
I'm rooting for ya!
I found your videos not to long ago. I want to thank you for taking a lot of the guess work out of making lures. You have helped me tremendously! Greatly appreciated. Keep the great videos coming!
Glad to help
Nice job as always, I appreciate that you quantify and qualify the characteristics of the lure by design and do not leave it up to trial and error to achieve the desired results. Stay safe, look forward to your videos in the future.
Thank you
I paint jointed and belt swim/glide baits. I have to say that the belt baits action is so much more smooth and natural looking. What I intend to make most of are belt connected baits. Waiting on the resin now. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
This video is great!!! I was just making a search on how to make this type of bait. Thanks for sharing. Take care!
Glad it was helpful!
Good stuff. I watched your lil jump frog video a couple times and decided to build my own. I’m in Missouri, we do t have much for snake head and I understand these style lures are used a lot for those. I’m a bass fisherman for the most part. So I built an almost exact copy of your magnetic hook frog, I used the 5/0 double frog hook and let me tell you, all painted and cleared, this thing slays these swamp donkeys! First cast in the shade under a big maple on our local lake and POW! The blowup was insane. My hookset was off and I lost him. Once I worked out the hookset timing, it was on. In an hour I landed 7 largemouth bass and two slab bluegill. So much fun. I’ll be making more for sure, thanks!
Wow...it's rare that I'm jelous of my own lure idea in someone else's hands! Nice job....send photos...I would love to see your version. I tried the double hook but found it easier to get a hookup with the single...probably just my own jitters. Congrats!
Love your videos..very informative as well as entertaining! I appreciate you!
You are so welcome
I always seem to learn something from your videos Thank You
Glad to hear it!...thank you
Oh my god thanks. I’ve searched for this topic forever I needed this!
You're so welcome!
Well done brah!! Looking forward to the finishes!! Fun to watch your skills.
Remain safe.!
This being home all the time is making me a bit nuts....and I'm eating too many chicharrones...
Very helpful and easy to understand thank you.
Great to hear!
Nice to hear you interpretation of the glidebait name. I always have a hard time finding out what would be the correct term/name for a bait I made. It seems that there is a lot of overlapping between the terms swimbait, glidebait, jerkbait, crankbait, stickbait etc. Well now I'll be using your interpretation for the glide bait :D Great tutorial by the way
I know, I get a lot of questions about different types of baits and my first question is what do you mean by swimbait or Glide bait or twitchbait. It's very dependent on where you are in the country or what country you're in. Thank you for the positive feedback. Cheers
I love your videos! You deserve a lot more subscribers! I make molds for plastic lures and it takes a lot of imagination, patience and determination. Keep it up!
Thank you so much!
I've been toying with the idea of making something similar with a piece of ratchet strap or a few 300 pound PE lines. Nice to learn from you before I make my attempt.
My next one will be using a piece of dacron sail maerial..super tough and no stretch. Also mule strap would be good.
@@EngineeredAngler Looking forward to it!
Your comment in RoKiT KiT bought me here, I’m in Melbourne Australia and would love to purchase some lures once this covid is over!
Thanks man...
Thank you for this video!
You are welcome 😊
Awesome!
Thanks!
You have a lot of imagination and some good ideas. I like that you share your thought processes
Can't wait for part 2! It is a lot of work to adapt this fiber, i hope it will works and will not be to steaf. Do you know the super glue bath technique to seal you wood very quickly? it works really well.
Sure...I learned the super glue trick from woodturners a long time ago, really speeds things up.
Yes!
Cool video, love to see you meke a two deep diver lure for catfish.
I mean two pice deep diver.
how deep is deep?
@@EngineeredAngler 3 to 5 meters would be perfect.
Also, what is that wire tie tool you used? that looks interesting! I need me one.

Awesome video! Currently making a glider bait for saltwater striped bass and struggling to find the best place to put the weight. Is there any way to determine the center of drag on a bait?
Thanks for all the amazing content!
There's really no easy way to find the location of the center of drag. But there are ways of manipulating the design that helps insure it is where you want it. You actually caught me in the middle of a lure build. I'm making a glide bait and in this video I'll explain how I try to get the center of drag where I need it to be.. Look for it Next Friday.
@@EngineeredAngler yeah I'm having issues with getting it to glide at low speed. It's a 1 piece wood glider
About 6.5inch long with a moderate sink rate.
Hardest build I've had to date
Any help would be appreciated
Great tutorial...i am interested how do you measure waight to put in lure...do you have some kind of formula or something different
Alen Puškarić I hope he reveals this calculation. I’ve been doing it the old fashioned way by sealing the wood and measuring the water overflow in my test tank. 🤔
I have done a couple of videos of how I do my weight calculation. But in part to cover the process briefly to be sure everyone has gotten it. Thank you and cheers
Engineered Angler which videos is this? I’m struggling to work it out. Cheers
How do you make the fiber fin/tail? Do you have a video about this?
Thank you.

Thank you for your very helpful and informative videos. I've been making my own bait for a while now and I have a question. You use a "twister" to bend wire. Is it a do-it-yourself or can you buy it? Greetings from Germany 👍
I use a TwistTech wire twister and I recently looked on line for availability but could not find it. I think they might have stopped selling them.
@@EngineeredAngler thank you for the answer. 💪👍
How strong is the joint material? Especially if you get a big fish on the back hook.
That's a good question...I'll do a test with a mock up...and we'll find out.
@@EngineeredAngler excellent. I was thinking of making lures like that but was worried about the strength. Not just tensile but a twisting motion as well. Fish in the net scenario. Fantastic videos by the way. Subbed
How do you figure how much weight to add to the belly? I can’t seem to find the video of you explaining it again?
I go through the process on most all my lure design videos. Here's a playlist

interesting. how did you work out the wood density and amount the weight needed ? please advise
The video shows the process.
@@EngineeredAngler thanks went though and saw that really appreciated
What kind of meds are you using I missed that
Mostly mushrooms
My strong suit is not math, so could you expand on how you arrived at the density of your material. I'm using a pvc material that comes in lengths for brick molding and trim for houses.....
Check out some of my other lure build videos...I go through the process almost every time.
@@EngineeredAngler Thanks I took your advice and found the Q and A video!
I want a frog. LoL
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
That was a gizzard shad picture lol. Mouth under the nose
I think you're right...I don't think there was a thread on the fin. Oh well I guess I'm building a gizzard shad with a thread on the fin😆
Ya want to know what's crazy? Daggum gizzards have a thread on the fin too! What the world?! Haha
I have the same calculator as you.
That's an old calculator...but it gets the job done
Would full real life like action be better most of the ons I see they look to stiff to me with the glide bait movement
Let’s just say math is not my thing
