Thanks for the advice ill definately look into balsa and cedar and other cranks. I dont use cranks often but a friend from georgia is giving me a few of his stanford lures deep divers. he says that they are one of his favorite crankbaits, especially the deep divers. i cant wait to fish them this weekend if the weather clears up. thanks again -Steve

Does anyone have any advice on wood type for crankbaits? Which is best? Oak? Cedar? Balsa? Cherry? Does it matter? I have a few cedar cranks and have had them for a couple years - very durable. My buddy thinks his balsa cranks perform better but I can't tell the difference. Seems like the balsa cranks are fragile since he's always buying new ones. Anyway - just wondering if there's an opinion on this issue.
