I believe what you are going for is a bait with a specific gravity of about .99. LaPala was right what you have to do is weigh the water displaced by the bait then weigh the bait. If they are the same you have neutral bouyancy or a specific gravity of 1. Example if the weight of the water displaced is 300 grams and the weight of the bait is 250 grams, 50 grams of weight must be added to achieve neutral bouyancy. If it is a muskie bait you have to consider the weight of the metal leader and snap, that extra weight has to be add to the bait. If you are a little off one way or the other it is not hard to tweek it a little.
