basscat28 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Has anyone ever bought balsa blanks off them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 I looked at the site and don’t see any balsa lures. They all appear to be made from an unspecified fine grain blonde hardwood, probably basswood. That’s not a bad thing but basswood is on average twice the density and weight (23 lbs per sq ft) of average density balsa (12 lbs sq ft). It makes very good crankbaits but does not have the buoyancy of balsa, so behaves differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 The density weights are per cubic feet, not square feet. Duh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
