Well chromedog I think we answered your original question about using the weight of soft plastics for rods, to be specific J answered it.
But thanks for the post becasue its been one of the best debates I've had on the new site.
Who said anything about it giving you confidence? I don't remember using that word or if I did it was a typo.
But I think you hit the nail on the head there J it is kinda like line size. Some guys don't think its important while others swear by it.
At the end of the day heres what I plan on doing.
Getting a senko mold and pour three diffrent types of senkos. One with a lot of salt one with not so much salt, and one with no salt.
And these amounts of salt will be measured by weight also. The baits will have the same amount of coloring and no glitter(Thats a later test )
now each one of these baits will be weighed and thier sink rates will be tested in the pool without a hook in them.Then they will be tested with the EXACT SAME HOOk.
Once all that data is collected I hit the lake with those baits. That testing will be me fishing with one bait catching some fish then switching it up.
It might take a whole year of testing to get any good data (if there is anything important to be discovered). But hey like I said its going to be fun and I'll enjoy it.
