The Generic AF Glide Bait V1.5 is a  7”  glide bait tuned for smooth, controlled glides across cadences. This is a true Print & Fish design—no paint or clear coat needed to catch fish.

Size (for clarity):

• Body length: ~6.9”

• Overall length: typically ~7.1–7.3” depending on how the screw eyes are seated

Action/Design

Dialed Level Glides—Effortless, level glides that look like the bait is floating in air. Precise weight placement drastically reduced nosing up and rolling over, even when fished hard.

 Hook More Fish—The back hook hanger was moved farther back to lock in those short bites.

Higher Details —Added Glue on Eyes making it look more like a real fish

Print & Fish notes (important)

• PETG recommended (what I personally use)

• Clear coat is optional, but not recommended for action
  This bait is tuned to swim best uncoated. Clear coat can make it top-heavy and the action clunky. Paint is fine.

• Like most Print & Fish baits, it can slowly take on water over time. I recommend printing 2–3 and swapping as needed.
  You’ll usually notice the action change after about an hour. If filament is old/not dried, it can happen faster (sometimes ~15 minutes).
  If it takes on water, it’s not ruined—let it dry 24 hours and fish it again.

Quick build steps

1. Print with PETG

2. Add one 1/4oz egg sinker into the weight chamber

3. Install components (screw eyes, split rings, hinge pin, hooks, eyes)

4. Fish (or paint)
