Does anyone have experience with these? Is Balsa durable?

Which one? 

It's pretty durable but nothing like plastic baits. 

Love bagley balsa b1 and b2. Great cranks for wood. I would never use these around rock. Dont slap the bait in the water when clearing weeds/junk and you will be fine. 

I lile the old Diving B's and the Honey B's. They catch fish , but bounce one off a bridge piling and it might break . I have broken a lot of them

I'm looking at the Sunny B model.

The Sunny B has become my DT-6 alternative and it is a killer. There are 2 models, a shallow version and a medium runner, I use the medium runner and it is nice!!! I have two each of the baby bass, chartreuse bluegill, chartreuse shad, sexy shad, and Tennessee shad and the chartreuse shad and sexy shad have been the best so far. I like using this for a silent presentation, I got my first two last summer and it was after the first cold front that I started throwing them, they run about the same depth as the DT-6 and I use them in the same situations. I think the different profile of the bait is what makes it good, I didn't get violent strikes on it, the rod would all of a sudden just load up, every fish I caught had the front hook as they seem to really eat it, so far all the new Bagley baits I've tried are pretty good. BTW, watch for sales, I now have 10 of them as I got 8 when Cableas had them on sale.
