What type of wood was used in the early 3-darters 2oz.? I recently spun one out of birch. Looked identical but it was about 1/2oz heavier w/o hardware. I through wired it also. W/o a middle hook and a 4gram slug in the original spot the tail end sank w/5/0 siwash. Took off hook and the plug floated pretty close to the old style. I think the one I modeled is a lighter wood. possibly white cedar or pine. By the way it didn't swim too bad but it always wanted to swoop up. Hope you guys can help.

I believe it was pine.

If it is an oldie by Stan it would probably be pine, but he was known to use whatever he had handy. I have a few and they are pine.

he used pine a lot of the time! i have a few of these also. killer lures
