If Detroit can do it....
« on: 07/06/14 11:00 UTC »
WE can DO-IT better.....that's what I say.

Here's a wonderful marriage between the 3" Glider and the Ring-It.. Its got that flap-like paddle tail like the Wyandotte worm. Roughly the same length with this being 3 3/4" but plenty of room to adjust, but benefits from the ringed body and has a whole world of color options that Detroit hasn't even thought about yet.

Tom there is no end to the possibilities. If you can dream it  you can make it. The combo's are endless. Another great bait from the master. 8)

I use a section of the tail (in various lengths) of the wack'm worm for my version... and black is my #1 color when using this.

I did a couple more colors for the bucket. One was a fire tiger that has a center color and paddle in chartreuse.

I can see a bait like this being a dandy cold water walleye plastic but in order to be efficient a mold would have to be made along with a possible tail mold if one isn't made for the 3" glider....I haven't checked that yet. The hand welds work so-so. An injection weld would most certainly be preferable and would be much more durable. I really like the ringed body concept. If a mold like this was made I'd have one for sure.

I agree; I like the ring body. There is a tail mold for the 3 inch glider, which would save some time, but a new mold would save a lot of time.

I can see those big black river crappies tackling this. Find a big old snarl of vertical wood and go dippin and hunting.
