Stickbaits-Sink Rate

[Kurt Wilson]

Hi Guys
Heading up to the Rowley shoals in a few weeks for pretty much our first popping adventure, trying to get the lowdown on as much as possible before we leave.
Ive been rigging up a few blackjack (Uluas, wahoos, bobaras) stickbaits with various hook sizes and swivel/split ring combinations and found that most of them sink, some alot quicker than others.
Should they be sinking at all? if so how fast?
Feel free to share any hook combinations aswell.
Cheers
Kurt Wilson

of the ones you named, only the Bobara should sink

[Andrew Poulos]

Bobaras should sink - except mine dont 

[Brandon Khoo]

Great - so your Bobaras float and Kurt's wahoos and uluas sink!!

Kurt if your floating stickbaits are sinking it sounds like your terminals (i.e. hooks and split rings) are too heavy.

If you respond with specific details of your lures im sure you will receive the answers you are looking for.

Cheers,

Chris

Cheers guys
As I'm experimenting with different hook arrangements I was sort of after a general idea, haha clearly I'm way off though. I'm using the fairly standard 11/0 sj41s and an 8/0 jobu but as I just realized the lures I'm putting them on are at the smaller end of the scale eg. Dogtooth 125, I'll downgrade the sizes.
Is the goal a slow sort of sink fro the bobaras and such? Or is it general preference?
Thanks again,
Kurt Wilson
