I ALWAYS test prior to painting !
Once I have thought , that I could save myself from that extra work , and got punished instantly
!
Had a bunch of 5 equal jerkbaits , same model , same size , same dimensions and same wood(teakwood kitchen boards).
Wanted to weight them slowly sinking , and after having determined about the neccessary weight on two lures , I stopped my waterbucket trials , just embedded the same size of an olive sinker into all of these lures .
After finally topcoating them I've found two jerks still to be floating !
Still can fish them this way , but it tought me a lesson , not to leave out this step on ANY single lure
!
