You have the what I like to call, "it's cool to throw swimbaits, and I have more baits than teeth marks" syndrome!!! Happened to me and happens to a lot of people so don't fret... Choose 1 bait, learn how to fish it, and progress... Owning every bait made does nothing to increase your chances of getting bit... Unless you want to be a bait collector ... Just my 1 cent....

Solid..... Thanks!!!

Where do you fish in 320 degree water or in saltwater fishtanks?? Fresh water is 8.33 ppg and salt slightly more roughly 8.36 or so which will affect how a lure swims... Bouyancy is going to play a bigger role then water temps all though it is a variable... I do want to see this saltwater tank you fish in?? Pics or it doesn't happen!!! Sorry If my wording wasn't specific enough. The temps we fish in meaning roughly between 32 and 90 degrees F. I then tried to explain how much specific gravity will drop as temps rise. Obviously nobody is fishing in or keeping pet fish in 320 degree water right. The last statement was meant to show the importance of specific gravity in relation to water temp in the keeping of saltwater fish as pets. Sorry if that post was confusing, it made sense as I was writing it. Sure it makes sense, just not in the context of the discussion since there would be no change in salinity or the specific gravity in 32 to 90 degree water and it's relationship with saltwater aquariums and fishing lures... Bouyancy, drag coefficient as it relates to an object being pulled through water and say lead (sg 11.3) most commonly used weighting material in fishing, it all makes sense... A lot of variables but it s just fishing!! Informative none the less!!

The specific gravity of freshwater is around 1 at the temps we are fishing in but starts to drop as the water gets hot, by around 320 degrees F it has dropped to .9 In keeping saltwater fish as pets this specific gravity to temperature ratio becomes very important even over just a few degrees. The warmer the water the lower the salt content needs to be. Where do you fish in 320 degree water or in saltwater fishtanks??

I keep reading density... Are we talking lb/gal etc??? Waters specific gravity is 1 so any mass or liquid with a specific gravity greater then 1 will cause it to sink.. What is you introduce a non newtonian fluid....What about shearing effects??? What if....?Good spin off of the original post...
