After many tests, followed by many distractions, then more tests, I have finally finished a few gliders. First off I want to thank all of the builders on this site (and TU) for their generous nature and always sharing their knowledge and experience. You guys have dramatically shortened my learning curve (still have a long way to go, but the help I have received is greatly appreciated).

I'm very pleased with the action. Nice side to side with just enough belly flash and a little wobble on the pause/sink. I'm researching the whole airbrush thing, but for now I'm going with rattle cans. Good enough for some basic paint jobs.

They look really nice. Great job on the painting!! Sure wish I had the talents to paint lures!!! I have a few that I would repaint in a heart beat if I did the repainting myself!

Dave

Those are sweet baits looking forward to seeing some chain fish on them..

Hopefully the weather gets better so they could spawn.
