yes hydro orientate is put round plug in water to find which end is up, sometimes wood rolls over because of tighter heavier grain and it makes a difference especially darters and swimmers. but you have to do it before sanding the slope.

I am not sure how you are going to get a unweighted plug to slow sink and suspend at a certain level. Birch is a great choice for unweighted darters. if you used ironwood to get it to sink, I would think it may not have action since it's so dense.

I don't mind at all adding lead to my plugs.

good luck
