Acme HG5/GC Hyper-Glide 2-Inch Glowclown: Vertical Jigging Lure

Overview

The Acme HG5/GC Hyper-Glide is a compact 2-inch lure built around an injected plastic Minnow body. Its Wings resemble real fins and spring open as the lure drops, delivering a lifelike motion that reads as a tiny swimming baitfish to the water below. The Glowclown color adds visibility in varied light, helping the lure stand out in open water or murkier days.

Designed for versatility, this lure shines when you need precise control over depth and cadence. Whether you’re fishing open water or ice, the Hyper-Glide offers a convincing swimming action that can help you key in on active fish or trigger curious bites from hesitant targets.

Dynamic action you can feel

The Wings opening and closing creates a noticeable gill-like motion, paired with a clear, audible interaction against the body. This combination helps the lure register as a living target in the strike zone, even at modest depths.

• Life-like gill action from Wings opening and closing
• Wings open and close, producing a distinct, attention-grabbing sound
• Glides smoothly through the water with a natural swimming feel
• Unprecedented jigging action that invites follow-up bites
• Drop System enables a quick vertical drop to re-engage fish

Why anglers appreciate this lure

The 2-inch profile balances casting ease with an effective action. The Glowclown finish enhances visibility, particularly in low light or stained water, while the Wings’ motion helps create an enticing silhouette during long retrieves.

• Compact size for versatile casting and controlled dives
• High-contrast glow finish for better visibility
• Reliable vertical drop to re-center on lingering fish

When and where to use

Use this lure for vertical jigging in open water or during ice fishing sessions. Its active motion and quick drop mechanics make it a good option when you’re probing different depths and water columns to locate fish.

• Open-water vertical jigging to locate active fish schools
• Ice fishing scenarios where a small, action-packed lure can provoke bites

Tips to maximize performance

Start with a controlled drop and adjust the cadence to match water clarity and fish behavior. The Wings’ unique action rewards experimentation with depth and retrieval speed, so vary your pauses and pulls to discover what triggers a strike.

• Begin with a steady vertical drop, then vary depth and cadence
• Pause briefly to let the Wings re-submerge before resuming movement
