| Has anyone tried using plastic exterior trim boards to make lure blanks?
It comes in typical lumber sizes, a 1x6 is actually 3/4 x5 1/2.
Assuming it would need thru wire since screws would not hold well.
Does paint hold up on it?

| Using PVC decking and trim boards is quite doable and some prefer it to wood. I personally have not used it.
if you google PVC crankbaits you will find a plethora of info on it as it is quite popular. |

| I've not tried it, but I like the idea. I think if you sanded all surfaces with 220 or 300 grit paint would hold well. |

Location: Mt. Zion, IL | I have some baits made of Azek and they hold up better than balsa wood. They are all coated with epoxy and have held up well. I believe smoker tackle SS Shad baits are now made of azek. |
