| You will need:
1 - STRIKER JR. JERKBAIT
Drill with a 5/16 and 1/4 bit
Lead melter
bucket of water
5 minuet epoxy
Remove front leader and hooks
Remove the front screw eye from the top of the head and replace it to the nose of the bait
drill a 5/16" hole 1 1/2" from tail 1/2"deep on the belly
drill a 5/16" hole 2 1/2" from tail 1/2"deep on the belly
drill a 5/16" hole 3 1/2" from tail 1/2"'deep on the belly
drill a 5/16" hole 1" in front of front hook screw eye 1/2"deep on the belly
fill 4 new holes with melted lead
Now the bait should sink like a rock!
drill 1/2 of the lead from the original lead hole
Using the 1/4"drill bit slowly drill lead from the 4 new lead holes until the the bait sinks REAL slow and sits level in the bucket of water.
If you drill out to much lead and the bait floats, jam some of the drill shavings back into the hole.
epoxy over the lead holes and were the original screw eye came out of.
Replace the hooks (not the leader)
Real small snap of the rod tip and you have the ultimate glide bait! |

| sounds like a great modification Bill! I know a fishing buddie of mine just adds a screw-eye to the tip of the nose to get a different action on the striker jr. I did it to on mine and I like the difference. Not so much in depthrange but in action.
I can get my bait to glide like the backside of the package says. It runs about 2 feet wide. |
