Immersion Testing
After puncturing half of the lures, they were placed in an eel bag and submerged in saltwater. They were removed at time intervals to be blown out with compressed air and weighed on a lab balance to record the amount of weight gained by water absorption. It took an average of 20 minutes to weigh all lures and submerge them again. The time interval for the next weigh-in began when they were returned to the water. The posts below contain both data tables and graphs. Graphs are all based on percentage of lure weight gained over time. Each value represents an average of three lures.
