Age old topic, but with a little different view point and questions. I'm making flat sided Balsa crankbait, NOT for resale, or business. Just to fulfill a passion of making cranks. I'm making flat sided crankbaits for shallow to 10-12 ft range. What is the best BILL material to use Circuit board or Lexan---------WITH different PROSPECTIVE ---- I TRYING to achieve the best action ?
1) Circuit board being thin, DO it increase the action of the bait?
2) LEXAN --- does create a small profile because its clear? but does Lexan have the same action similar to circuit board?
3) does anyone fill from experience that circuit board has some advantages, if so What Advantages?
4) seems like most of the Japan balsa makers like Circuit board, is that feeling the same Here with homemade Balsa makers?
5) at last, what bill material makes the most possible to achieve cranks that HUNT, on a consistent bases.
Like I said, this is a bucket list passion that makes my heart flutter, I make spinnerbait, plastic worms and jig etc... BUT making a plug is a completely different JOY!
