tony simpson Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Does anyone know what type of wood is used in the Roman made "mother" swimbait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkustel Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Its made from a japanese cypress. I imagine it to be a fairly dense wood perhaps similar to maple or oak. If you try to make a bait that large out of a light wood like poplar your going to have to put a TON of lead in it to get it to sink. Mahogany might work well too. The key is weighting and getting the joint setup right. Good luck. JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
