Thanks everyone for the help. I will be painting more lures soon and I will try some other techniques. I have done 3 identical suspending jerkbaits with d2t and had different results each time. Tested in a 5 gallon bucket and had one sink, one suspend, and one float. That was my issue with d2t. Maybe I did something else wrong. All baits had the same hardware and nothing was changed except the thickness of the d2t.
