Floater - Suspender

Hi guys,

A couple of my lures have a really fast float, just wondering if there's any way i could make them suspend or make them float slower?

Check out stuff called stickyweight if you can get your hands on it, or these suspendots:

Hey mate,


Check out fishing.com they have some sticky tungesten weight, and they also carry those suspenda dots (??)

Bit of solder wire wrapped around the rear tow point can work too

or an upgrade in size & gauge of both the trebles and split rings can somethimes make the difference.

I like to place the stick weight just under the bib, or around the middle treble. You still need to keep the lure balanced so it's not just a case of sticking some on there and it's all good. We used to use solder and we wrapped it around the middle treble before the tungsten sticky weight came out.

Thanks mate, was just going to ask how to apply it. So just under the bib, or under the bib and over the middle treble? How much of it do you use?
