I am not in the same class of plugbuilders as most of you guys but my plugs look Ok and catch fish well. I use AYC for everything. I pour a lead weight about 2/3 of the way back on my swimmers. How much lead depends on how heavy I want the plug for casting and the sink rate I'm looking for. The one thing about the AYC is I have never sealed them before painting and I have never had one split paint or flake. I think that's why we use AYC because it doesn't absorb water.
