By Hydro orientating you mean shaping the blank piece of wood, sealing (if you prefer it), and then putting it in water to see where the top and bottom of the lure is before you put hardware on?

I've been thinking about basically shaping the lure (including making the head slope down since we are talking about a darter in this case), sealing it to avoid water absorption, and rubber banding the hardware on it and dumping it into a bucket/tub/tank etc. to see what happens before you go any further.

Am I just thinking into this too much or asking the wrong question? Process of building the lure out of order?
