I did'nt add any salt to these so they probably will sink slow with a light wire hook. I am probably going to do some with veins two tones and stuff too. I just probably wont do too many I usally find that solid colored ones with good pearl highlights look more natural and catch just as many fish and take half as long to make. When we do that trade you will see what I mean by pearls there kinda hard to see in pictures but really light up in the water kinda like slime on a fish :9
