Note that a few baits like the 4-inch Senko and the Smallie Beaver were weighed on both occasions. Thus was done deliberately just to check on the continuity. There was some rounding that accounts for the differences, and there are some small difference like 0.01 oz. The small weight difference could also be accounted for by the differences in the salt content.
