Hey folks,
I'm trying to make large plastic (plastisol) lures for musky and pike. Because they are large, I am using two treble hooks attached to a wire that runs through the lure. With that extra metal hardware, the lures sink. I want to make them float or at least neutrally buoyant. I've added the "floater bubbles" and they help but it still isn't enough. Should I add cork, styrofoam, or ??????
Also, any advise on how to attach the hooks on these large baits would be great. These large plastic lure are much more complicated than the smaller ones!
I appreciate any advise.
