I was able to hit the pond last night with my BIB Box filled th all sorts of winter purchases & projects last night. I thought about this original post and checked several for their attitude in the water. Given the fact that the sun rises & sets on glide baits...( I found my deep water glides mostlyhad a slight nose down when paused. I have some that are reef runners and can double as a jump bait they were level to very slightly nose up. The bulk though were level. I do run weighted leaders at times and "squirrel nuts" weighting if needed too. I have a TimberWolf glider from Tyler that absolutely rocks itself. I got a Pearson from Bushy that is going for boat rides this year along with a standing favorite Muskie Treats. Then one bought off the forum. Two homemades, one rocks the other ...not so much.
