So a bass will still be able to see chartreuse on the canal bottom during the day, and not just muted grey (from red). But while chartreuse is often recommended for standing out in waters with high turbidity (milkshake water) I found ..at least in some shallow Florida waters I fished with extreme turbidity.. that chartreuse baits looked completely washed out and were nearly invisible. What stood out best on the clouded up shallows of the flats one day were red & pink. Dark colors too. I couldn't see chartreuse at all only 6" down, but red & pink remained visible in the crap water. FWIW. thanks for sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernie what is the float co efficiency on those molded plugs . What is the over all weight and length . When you stop working them do they sink complete or do they show a little of the nose? Is the weight on more of the tail hook section, or is it balanced between the middle hook and the tail hook? How many coats of clear will they have?

Canal B&T for one, don't know where you live but Klem's up in central mass has them and they will be at the RISAA show also............. Those are the only shops that are open that have them now but it's still way early for shops to stock local products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angler #1 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 3 hours ago, codfish said: nice Cod fish understanding that foam or plastic plugs usually have a faster drop rate then wood It was a question I was hoping to be answered. The formula can be used F = L X W in grams -------------------------------------------- Plus density of material used divided by the co efficient number which eludes me at this time. Wood as every one knows has a higher float number then most molded plugs . In some cases where the weight is distributed and how along the length in some cases will effect the casting ability and once it hits the water how fast it will sink . The faster it sinks the more it takes to control when you need to stop the flight and began working it. This was explained to many years ago by a well known plug builder that made both wood and molded foam plugs and unfortunately, I can not recall all of the formula to calculate its float rate, other then placing one in the water and time how fast it sinks once it hits the water. Plugs made from plastic of foam have different float characteristics and it was my hope that an answer would be forthcoming by some one who may be selling them as being manufactured here in the USA . The plug will work beneath the surface , can it get up fast enough to be also worked on the surface. I thought it was an appropriate question and that is why I posted it.
