Are you talking about air bubbles in the plastic I go out of my way not to have air bubbles in My plastic .

I have used rattlers and flakes but no air and have seen no significant difference in all rate. I use lighter jigs for a slower fall rate at times.

I was thinking you go out of your way to not have air in plastics from what I’ve learned.

I remember some of the bass guys putting some air in tails of plastic worms with a syringe to make the tail float a little off the bottom.
