Neutral Buoyancy for Barra lures

[Dunco]

Townsville had a distributor put on a demo at a local pool. They had some neutral float lures there. I've goto get one. Japanese made and unreal in the water

By the time you upgrade the hardware to be 'barra proof', I'd doubt they'd be neutrally bouyant! (They did look pretty good though! Snags and beer were alright as well!)

There are some hardbody lures out there designed for our barra (like stiffy's) to save all the hassle of tuning things yourself!

Hi Jeremy
Does this affect the lures performance, swim wise and not too much rattle? Some guys are wary of rattle. What success have you had on your modifications? Does the shot just sit around loose in the lure body?

Lures swim the same as it doesn't chage the hydrodynamics of the lure like adding weight to the outside can and maybe cast a little better. These modified classics have scored me and my friends a few barra when noone else has been getting then. The weight shifts around freely like the rest of the rattles in the lure. As for blokes saying rattles scare the fish. . . the idea is that the rattle is meant to attact the fish, does it make a difference, good question.
