As you know, they are advertised as 'floating'. I bought a few more but none of them float. Out of the box, they are 'nearly' buoyant, but not quite. I took the split-ring off one to lighten it, but it still sinks.

Removing the front treble hook might work, but that might ruin the action. Gluing something buoyant on the top might work, but the smell of the glue might repel fish. I returned some and bought others (which don't float either), but can't keep doing that over and over.

Any ideas (anyone) on how to get them to float?

Do you think contacting the Strike King company would do any good? You'd think they would be aware of this problem.

What are you using to fish them? Line? Swivel or not? Most lures are tested with a specific line size for specs purposes.
