guys i was wondering if the fore grip, reel seat and the rear grip( on a spincast or baitcaster) made of wood be worth it? i was courious to what effect that moisture and temp. varriations thru the season and being stored in a boat rod locker would have on this setup. i appreciate any thoughts that anyone would have about this subject. snooterfish

i recieved a yellow flyer attached to my order form it was about some crank bodies that i recieved. " THESE BAITS HAVE A DIVING BILL MADE FROM CIRCUIT BOARD MATERIAL. THE BILL IS PEGGED NOT GLUED AT THE TIME OF ASSEMBLY. THE BODY IS SOLID AROUND THE BILL TO PREVENT LEAKAGE. THE BILL MAY HAVE SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT IN THE BODY> WHEN THE BILL IS PRIMED, PAINTED AND TOPCOAT WILL SEAL THE LIP INTO PERMANENT POSITION" Do you guys think that the steps listed are enough to make the bill solid? What would you guys do in this case? Richard

thanks guys for the help. i think i will look elsewhere, maybe janns. i have a couple rods to build, i may as well go ahead and order blank parts and crank bodies at the same time and save a $ or 2 on S & H. richard

guys , i am wanting to get some of the wooden lures bodies from lure craft that would be close to a rapala DTF series. if some of you guys who have done this for a long time would take a few minutes and go to lurecraft.com and look at there crankbaits and componates list and give me your honest opnion. i could order a bunch of different ones but my budget is a little on the week side . i appreciate any help you would offer me. richard (snooterfish)
