Is BALSA really better?

[Fishhead]

There are times when a balsa bait will downright smokle em. Then theres other times the fish want the action of a plastic, off the shelf bait. I have a cheap Norman in Mean Green that is absolutely killer on KY/Barkley, but on the Ohio river one of the hand made balsa baits can be unbeatable.

There are a few handmade flat sided balsa baits out there now that can be awesome, (as far as I'm concerned they all copied the Wee Bait), when the fish want that action. But each has its own characteristics and I can tell you from first hand experience some of these baits have won T's for me when most of the rest of the field were struggling.

I have a buddy that has been making them for years and will custom make a bait to your specs. These are real works of art and the clear coat is best bar none. Email me if anyone is interested in getting in touch with him.

He also will refinish any of your old favorites taht are battered and beaten to give them new life. Remember back couple years ago when one of the pros won the FLW at KY Lake throwing a couple custom painted baits, specifically a DD10 with a custom bait job. I had my friend copy the finish and it came out dead on and works great at KY/Barkley.

Bump or should I say HUNT!

Hunting is when the bait tracks back it has an erratic action as the bait tries(hunts for)to find center,you dont find it in too many factory baits mostly handmades and then not all of them do it,like apb said it cant be built in but occurs more frequently with baits that are custom made as they are normally balanced better than production baits
