Sliding fish Topwater lure - 100mm

cults3d

After completing the Simple Topwater as found in my design collection I wanted a topwater lure with a longer smoother glide path. I also wanted it to remain mostly upright presenting the belly downward in a 45-degree arc at all times. Thus was born the sliding baitfish. With a slimmer more narrow profile and a more v-shaped keel, you get a longer smoother glide pattern. This lure is 100mm long and ideal for Bass or saltwater estuary use. I originally released only a skinny version which worked very well in saltwater and some freshwater applications but after much testing found that in some waters and with specific line combinations the nose sat a little low in the water, so I now include a slightly chunkier version of the lure in the file package. This version will be slightly more buoyant. I still recommend the original for most applications, but if you find she dives a little too often, run the chunkier version. The lure has a similar performance to a Rapala Skitter V. Longer smoother glides during longer pauses or fast rapid direction changes with quick twitches.

Assembly is identical to the Simple Topwater. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B8rJpB5Ois Please be aware that these files are for non-commercial use only.
