Hey all. Made a 75mm lure out of some timber I had laying around, unsure what type. Anyway swims like a champ but is sinking even without hooks. I used an alloy bib that was too big but it was handy. Is there anyway of adding boyouncy it is it a case if that's how it is?
Cheers Chris

not worth the effort to get it to float sorry Chris ,you are better to fish it as a sinking lure and make future ones from a more bouyant timber.what timber did you use?

Yeah thought that would be the case. Was a bit of unknown timber I had laying about. Going to try some Tassie oak I picked up the other day and some lexan bibs. Cheers

Chris,
I am happy to give you a few different timbers to try and even a few bibs. I have sent you a PM.
Cheers,

Gavin
