Yes it is. Kinda intentional. I got several ideas from yours. I did my deck with plywood to see if the layout worked, it did. I will redo it in aluminum in the future.
I painted a couple lure blanks this week and made a few plastics for spring. I always hear throw red for bass in the spring so I did some Fire Craw stuff. The crank bait worked great.
It's pretty shallow, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2' or so. I use em for reds too so I don't want them getting into the oysters. Right now the bass can't leave them alone. This one got em this morning.
This new slow sinker was doing the work Saturday night. I tinkered with the sink rate, I removed some lead so it sinks about a foot in 2 seconds. It has an internal rattle I made out of brass tubing and 1/4'' steel balls to make some noise. It got a couple 24'' trout and a few 19-20''er's. This is a resin cast lure from a silicone mold I made.
Making a couple more slow sinkers. I make the wire harness and add the homemade rattle. Mix the two part resin with 10% micro balloons so it will float. It cures in about 20 minutes. Take em out and clean them. Time to add weights, paint and throw them in the water.
