Depends on what type of plug you are making and the action you want. AYC as Christian said is real good for Pikies and swimmer type plugs. I also like it for topwater, walk the dog type plugs. Red Cedar is also a good wood for these. Harder woods like maple and birch can be used for darters, needle, or poppers. Some also like basswood for swimmers and poppers. Its a whole lot lighter, so it takes more lead. Poplar can be used for a number of different plugs. You'll want to seal these woods. Experiment a little and you'll find what works best for you.
