Dual weighted thru wire glide bait. Currently has a slight positive bouyance and needs to be tested. Hoping to imitate ciscos flipping up on the surface with this lure. Will add a third coat of epoxy if needed to get desired bouyancy. 

Recipe is as follows:

8" Upper Michigan Maple body
0.062" thru wire

Createx Paints:
white belly
black base
Large scale pattern - Pearl Silver (top) Pearl white (bottom)
Fine scale patter - Pearl gold
sunburst orange on the chin
Black gill and back hightlights

Very nice! Is it weighted it down? Hughes River has one that has the hooks on the body as opposed to the belly. It floats on it's side. It would probably mimic the action you're looking for.

It does have lead in the belly and will float hooks down. Made one of this design last year with neutral bouyancy and it would ocassionally slurp up to the surface. Hoping to get more of this kind of action with this lure. Need to do a test in open water.
