  1. I have been having decent luck with Reapers lately. I just got a mold, so I am pouring a bunch. Smoke with red and blue flake, and light purple with red flake both seem hot right now. Purple in the evenings, and the smoke during brighter conditions. Pumpkin works okay, but not as well as the smoke and purple. Green or blue didn't do much. The reaper seems to be a great fall bait, as it is quite large, and lends itself to a slower presentation. I let it flutter down slowly, and move it a couple of times a minute at the most. THe bait seems to have a lot of action while just falling. It is also effective, because I can really work suspended fish well with it. I have also tried dead sticking it, and the smoke and purple ones are very effective. THe pumpkin must blend in with our mud, as it never got a strike while laying on the bottom. I am also having good luck with small stick worms in blue, with a Methiolate tip, and in pumpkin with a bright red tip.
  2. I use a lot of balsa for my other hobby. I build model aircraft. We look for contest grade stuff between four and six pounds per cubic foot. THis would not be good for making lures, as it is too soft. THe good side to this is that the heavier wood for lure making is the stuff that the model builders aren't as interested in. You will probably pay a bit less than I do for the same sized block of balsa! (Maybe a lot less) Tell then that you want heavier balsa when you order it. Otherwise, they might think you are building flying things with it.
