although you can make plug out of just about anything, poplar is difficult to seal, I've used it, so have alot of other builders... with mixed results... it tends to split eaisily if not sealed real well... cedar or bass wood , even clear pine are better choices for surface poppers/swimmers..

A good run is better than a bad stand!
