I understand that the placement of hardware, weights, hooks, ect. have a bearing on the performance of the plug but does the wood type itself have a bearing on the plug too. Hopefully these are not trade secrets if so I understand. Thanks P.M.

pr ,Im going to tell You something You should do.
find a 2x2 pc of balsa wood. turn a danny phat boy like I do.
weight it and then jig it up and put on a heavy coat of epoxy alot will soak in. then wet sand it or scuff it and prime then paint then epoxy it again and swim it.
I have not done the balsa wood yet ,ned to find some. but have with another wood on some very special plugs i made for me and the action is to die for and the best part is the bass go bonkers,
the lures will swim in fastest of the fast water and will not roll out and if done right. You can use a danny lip or a pike lip each has there own action and if You place some 3/0 trebles You may not need any weight .
paint the plug yellow or white....................
