How do I check a hard lure before accepting a delivery?
Short answer
Three tests that need no equipment: float or suspend it in a tank at the stated temperature, pull it at the stated speed and watch whether it tracks straight, and check the diving depth against the stated line class.
In detail
Those three cover the fields that a visual sample check cannot see.
