| Love that crappie pattern! Nice shape on that body too! Is it going to be a glider or crank? Looks like you could do both

Anyway, its hard to tell from the picture but this body style is unlike most shads I've seen....Its not flat sided at all. It has a natural concave-ness to the sides and the recognizable "V" shape of the rest of my Hammer designs. Wider at the top and tapering down to a thinner belly. Believe it or not, this bait originated from one of my existing Bero Sledge molds. I'm designing the crank to stay in the top 12' of the water column and I have absolutely NO experience with gluiders so the trial and errors of weighting will be my challenge. I can't wait! |

Oh you art teachers trying to get all technical – it’s convex Paul ha-ha The body shape is great, I can tell there isn’t a flat surface on it, very natural looking. Have fun figuring it out, that’s my favorite thing to do. If you have any problems figuring out the glider just cheat and put some fins on it like I do…
And yes, great minds do think alike.
