| Ok, this happened to us alot today throwing gliders, Mr. Automatics if you need to know, we kept getting hot follows that just wouldn't commit in the figure eight! I guess my question really is, what do you guys do when working a glider and have a follow up to boatside? |

| I know this is an old gag, but...you were fishing for males, that is why they would not commit.

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | As the glider approaches the boat, I give it a strong 'pop' downward, and watch the bait glide down a few feet. I get quite a few to commit on that finish I'm convinced I wouldn't get on an 8. They usually hit it just as it stops. |

Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | By the way, the positive thing about that finish is you can pop it back up and continue into an 8 if the fish doesn't take the lure. Sometimes I get the fish to hit after popping it downward a couple times. I like gliders that will work that way, Undertakers, Wabulls, Perkettes, and whatever the new prototype bait Beav is building. There are several others too, you get the idea. |

When you say a "pop" downward are you saying that you have your rod tip a few feet down into the water when you do this? |
