Basswood is very light best for topwater swimmers.light is good as u can add lead where u like to a big plug to get the action u prefer.nicer to work with then red cedar which is a little heavier but has some large grain which don't sand well..Might not be the best choice for a popper an it is also a little soft.poppers seem to get eaten alot by blues.maybe a epoxy sealer will toughen them up some but then u addin weight also.
