You can do it in fresh as long as the l plug is very buoyant (floats in salt and fresh). I asked about this on another site and was told that the dannys in particular has a lot too it when it comes down to different shapes, sizes and weight placement. This little experinent should help you understand all of the factors affecting buoyancy though. Make sure the hooks are on the plug when you dest it. They will affect the final CG. take led wire and wrap it around the body and float it to see what the different weight placements do to the trim without cutting your plug up. That's a good method to change a plugs behavior in a pinch for us non plug making people. (i.e. make a floater a sinker).
Good luck and post some pics. Id love to see what you did. |
