Start with a tightly grained western red cedar. You can buy three foot 2"x2" ballusters for a $1.79 ea. Wear a mask when sanding though.
Tightly grained will turn nicely and avoid the lumps and bumps that the loosely grained (growth rings) leave after sanding though the fish don't care much.
Western Red cedar is very light and buoyant and makes really nice fishing spooks and popping plugs with therefore great action.
Hope that helps.
