Hi guys, I have built a few globes and other baits and am looking for advice on building a flaptail. Would cedar be a good choice? Why do I see them made with the long stiff wire out the front? For action? Does anyone know where to get quality blades/tails? Should they be attached with a swivel or just a split ring? Would appreciate hearing personal trial and error stories. I have had plenty of my own while experimenting. Thanks
