Salt/bouancy Issue On Finese Baits

Featured Replies

So Im confused...isnt the point of a Shakeyhead/Nose Hooked DropShot for the worm to float and be buoant? or stand up

Doesn't Salt effect bouancy?

Why are so many finese worms have Salt in them??? Zoom has their Super Salt...KVD PP have coffee and salt.

Not everything in nature feeds nose down tail up!

I wouldn't spend to much time worrying about it!

roboworms have salt.  they float quiet nicely. 

 

Depends on how much salt right? floaters might have a less salty plastic then ones meant not to float. yet still salty.

If you want  floating baits, try Z Man baits, even then, some of their floating baits don't float when first used, such as the Ned Rig TRD. I try them when I get a new pack and if they don't float, I run hot water over them and stretch them some. They will also start floating when you use them.

You worry too much, just fish them.

Because all finesse plastics sold aren't designed just for a straight stand up presentation. I would say that the vast majority of finesse style baits aren't fished with a Shakey head or drop shot. Most are bought to be T rigged,

dragged, hopped, swam or dead sticked.

There are plastics that are best suited for a drop shot or shaky head that have no salt, or have infused air pockets..

I rarely use those types of presentations so I can't give you a recommendation, but I'm sure someone will be along to give you a few.
