Metal Flake Finish

Here are my latest lures , furnished these with a "metal flake finish" , did this for the first time on wooden lures , so far I have only applied such glitter particles onto casting spoons before .

It is quite time-consuming , since it requires a few more gloss coats , as if painting "normally" , also adds a bit more of weight to the lures .

But this glitter coat is also like an armour plate against predators teeth !

Shown are one "Banana" lure of my own design(green/silver) , a version of an Australian "SuperBug" and two original sized "Big S" versions of teakwood , these also sport an internal rattle of brass tubing .

The latter turned out almost half way heavier as the original "Shakespeare" lures , but they still do float , but yet run deeper:yes: .

Haven't even considered about that , from a physical standpoint it should , but practically ?

If it matters to cast only 58 feet instead of of maybe 60(if I hazard a guess) , but I can't tell , would have to have two identical lures , one with and one without that finish .

But maybe the higher weight would make up for it , so no difference at all ?
