here are some 3inch flatsided crankbaits I made the other day. They are made of balsa and are half inch thick, they weigh in at around a half ounce. Just went a tested these today and discovered that the one with a steeper bill has a wobble when it floats up, also the it can be ran as a wake bait if reeled in really slow and if reeled in at a medium rate it dives to about 5 to 7 feet.The one with the little bit flatter bill has a deeper dive of about 7-9 feet, but doesnt have a wobble when it floats up:?. But today while i was testing them i caught i 16 inch large mouth. That prolly isnt very big, but at the lake i was testing it at the average bass there is about 10 inches or less:lolhuh:. Oh ya this is my first fish ever on a crankbait to:yeah:. well anywho thanks for all your help guys, really i would of never figured out how to make a crankbait without all the information that everyone contributes here.:worship:

Thanks, Jacob

Those crankbaits are really nice. I am just starting out on making and painting my own tackle and was just curious as to what kind of paint you used on the balsa? Also..maybe you know or dont....what kind of paint would you or do you use on plastic crankbait bodies?
