carpholeo Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 What type of casting material will float? for instance, what is A zaraspook made out of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clamboni Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Not sure what type, but they're plastic. The key with the spook is that it's hollow. Put enough air in anything and it'll float. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodkaman Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 16lb foam is what a lot of lure designers are using. The foam comes in various weights, 2lb, 4lb, 8lb and 16lb. This refers to how much a cubic foot of the cured foam weighs in pounds. The higher the pounds the higher the strength and hardness. Most on this web site reccomend 16lb. A cubic foot of water, if my calcs are correct is around 62lbs. So the density of the 16lb is roughly one quarter of water, this makes it similar to balsa wood, only much stronger! Good stuff indeed.

BobP Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Balsa has a "reference density" of 11.2 lb/cu ft and basswood is around 20 lb, so 16 lb foam is pretty bouyant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
