SmithN Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 What would cause a hinkle Shad to float and not sink when sitting still? Fist time I used the bait and it wants to float! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP00N Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 What's your water temps? Plays a big factor in sink rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a few xss glides that definitely turn into low floats. Wouldn't be able to tell you exact temps but I would say it's around 50°. Saltwater will definitely make baits float as well.

Mayes Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I have 1 that floats, there’s an old thread on here that talks about it. Reading the thread the trout never had that problem but the shad did go read it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanhick Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 ST41 hooks on it? Mine will float with lighter hooks. Super slow sink with 2/0 ST 41's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
