Good Morning Folks, Say L show last week on the history of lure making, how cool was that. The part of the tree ie. con hard (center of the tree) will be more dess making the action tighter. I my self tend to use hard woods Oak, Teak, & Iron Wood, adding BB where needed. I also never paint my top water because I get the same amount of strikes at painted lures. The Cow girl, what a story.
I also make cuda lures out of white rags when I was a kid fishing off the coast of Borneo. Try it on your next trip. It's still being used today.
Thanks again, V
