Sounded like a great idea so I tried in a swimming pool. Tried with a bullet weight, pegged bullet weight, a bell sinker and a lindy weight. I assumed it would float level but near the bottom. Found that I could keep the nose down but the tail end floated up at a 45 degree angle. Tried suspend dots and wrapping some lead wire on the rear treble......nada. Tried several other lures but the only one that stayed level was a Lucky Craft jerkbait. So I gave up on the concept but at least experiment taught me something.
