They are all fine, AYC being the heaviest. Some guys like red cedar for spooks as well.

Dave,

I posted something on spook theory, I believe in response to someone's question on how to make spooks. If it is not here, it is on the other site. Might be of use to you when you make yours. Either that or reading it will give you a headache
