jigs are easy. buy a do-it mold . crankbaits will require a bit more things to build baits.

on crankbaits the top choices seem to be . cedar,mahogany,basswood. personally i use cedar.

hi mico ballons will weaken a body, when you pour and the foam rises blok your pour whole and vent. that will make the foam to collapse the bubbles and create a very hard outer shell.as for paints that will not affect a foam body.we use a 15lb ridid and never have your issue.
