I assume slow sink is the heaviest/most versatile but not sure. Thanks!

Another I’ll defined term “slow sink”.

ROF rate of fall was 1st used by Ken Huddleston ROF 5, 12 & 16 feet per 10 seconds. Where does “slow sink” fall in the ROF rate of sink?

Any lure ROF is affected by water temperature. Colder water is higher density so lures sink slower vs warmer water with less density.

Out west where swimbaits were introduced to mimick planted trout the water was between 50 to 60 degrees, fairly constant.

It’s not the lure weight or size as much as it’s the buoyancy.

A lure that floats naturally needs added weight to sink it.

This is the answer - it's highly subjective and changes depending on the conditions.
