Depends alot on what type of bait your making, (topwaters) i like white pine , cedar or basswood. ( pull and rise jerkbaits ) white pine and cedar. ( gliders ) maple, oak ,cedar , butternut the heavier hardwoods seem to work better , do not have to add as much weight, but the softwoods give different actions than the hardwoods. (crankbaits ) maple, poplar and cedar. don't be afraid to experiment , everyone has their favorites, trial and error are your best teachers.
