Acme HG5/PTG Hyper-Glidebait 2in 1/5oz Pinktigerglow Ice Lure

Meet the Acme HG5/PTG Hyper-Glidebait

The HG5/PTG is a compact ice lure designed to stand out in a range of conditions. Its pinktigerglow finish enhances visibility in dim or stained water, helping anglers spot the lure and track its motion during the cast.

Engineered for responsive action, this lure combines dynamic wing motion with a lifelike body rhythm. During a retrieve, the wings alternately open and close, creating a distinct profile that can attract curious fish and encourage bites. The lure also glides smoothly through the water and delivers a nimble jigging cadence, enabling you to explore depth and contact structure without overworking your setup.

The VDrop System is at the heart of its quick-reaction performance, enabling a precise vertical drop to re-engage fish after a pause or misfire. This feature can be especially helpful when conditions shift or when you need to reposition in a tight bite window.

Key benefits at a glance

• Loud wing noise from opening and closing wings may grab attention and provoke bites.
• Life-like gill action enhances the lure’s lifelike swimming profile.
• Glides through water with minimal resistance, aiding efficient water coverage.
• Dynamic jigging action provides a versatile cadence across depths and structures.
• VDrop System offers a quick vertical drop to reconnect with active fish.

Real-world use cases

• Ice fishing from a shelter on cloudy days where visibility matters.
• Open-water days when fish respond to a moving target near weed lines and drop-offs.
• Casting toward submerged structure such as brush or rocks where a fast fall helps locate ambush points.
• Fast repositioning after a strike or miss to stay in the strike zone longer.

How to fish the HG5/PTG

Begin with a steady, moderate retrieve and be ready to pause. The VDrop System helps the lure reset quickly after a pause, letting you stay in productive water faster. Slightly vary cadence to match water clarity and fish mood, and rely on the Pinktigerglow for high-contrast visibility.

Pair the lure with a light rod and a sensitive tip to detect subtle takes, and set drag for light-to-moderate pressure. Inspect hooks and hardware for cold-weather wear to maintain consistent action over time.
