well its great to see the site back up and running. there was a hole in my life while the sites been down. i guess were all tackle junkies.

cedars fine.if you use a sealer. it hardens the wood up. use quality screws. try the 0.92. you wont have issues if you epoxy the screws. mahogany is also excellent but pricey

jed we did testing years back. african mahogany sank. the densitys were to hi. that was before hardware was eeven added. american mohagany didnt stand up enuff. honduras in pattern grad is the sweetest wood. thats only my opinion, others use many different woods for application actions.

i find honduras mahogany yo be less grainy then cedar.. after sanding sealer a dip in prime then dip in base color theres no grain to be seen.

yep musky dan many have been bitten using poplar. a friend of mine cut up 300 baits cause of swelling

if you buy a 2by 6 8 feet long. its usually cheeper

finlander mahogany is very pleasent to work with. the orignil lokes were better grade mahogany.. honduras accepts sealers ,paints very well. the issues are cost of wood. make sure its honduras not african cause african sinks.
-
we use cedar for our baits. its corky and lively. another wood not mentioned is honduras mahogany. its slower but very good
-
wow. to go where no man gone before

for musky baits we use 1/8 to 1/4 depending on bait size
