Principles of Lure Design: Center of Gravity & Buoyancy by Larry Dahberg Pt.2
In Part 2, Principles of Lure Design, Larry discusses how Center of Gravity & Buoyancy and how those principles affect the way a lure acts and performs in the water.
Bouyancy, using two different materials together:
- Resin (heavier than water) + Alumifoam (tough and bouyoant)
- Microballon Resin + Tungsten Powder
Center of gravity
- Top water lure - balance weight in back
- Slapper - all weight in rear as it stands up
- Zig Zag - even balance across lure sinking evenly in water
- Crank Bait - create balance at pivot point
