QUICK TIPS!! Cicada Popper Blank...DOES IT FLOAT??
Channel: Jekyll Productions
Date: 2020-06-23

Ok, so they're pretty... but are the blanks garbage or do they float???
(...also, I kinda say it in the vid, but to reiterate, don't use heavy hooks, or garbage stainless steel rings).

Also, it helps if you know what you're getting ahead of time. There are usually a few versions of stuff floating around in the "ether" of marketplaces, with varying degrees of quality and weight and size. Ask your seller questions... like, have you tested these? What's their weight? How would you fish this? What kind of clearcoat are you using? How long ago did you cure these? Are they ready to swim?

ALL that stuff is important. All that stuff goes DIRECTLY to the reputation of the seller, be it a big brand, a custom builder, a blank lure distributor, or a custom painter.
Food for thought! Cheers, Jen at JBCo.
