Why cedar?

Recommended Posts

Just curious as to why so many guys use cedar for lures. What characteristics of cedar make it good for lures? And how much difference between western red cedar and white cedar? It must work well for lures because so many guys use it, I just want to know why is it good . I am thinking of trying it on larger crankbaits for muskies because what I am using now is too heavy.

Cedar is preferred for several reasons:

- Light weight and bouyant.

- Easy to work with.

- The grain is not too strong.

- It is tougher than balsa.

- Easy to get.

- Inexpensive.

- CCBCo used it.

If you're making a bunch of lures, you should consider wearing a dustmask. After all, there must be a reason insects don't like it.
