Location: Palm Coast, FL | What is the difference between the fabricast 50 and model pro? I noticed the viscosity is a little different but not much else. |

Location: Madison, WI | Hey fellas,
What is the density? Does it sink like a rock? If so what percent micro-balloons do you use for suspending vs floating?
Thanks,
MS |

| Larry dahlberg sells a kit and instructional video for beginners I was thinking about getting it myself. I had the same question about if resin floated on its own or if the balloons were absolutely necessary to float |

Location: Okoboji | When I used I did full strength and added weight to get more action. That said I prefer wood any day. Cheaper and I can do what I want with it and every bait has its own personality |

Location: Money, PA | You will Never get the consistancy from wood simply because NO two pieces of wood are the same. That said, some may not care and strive for baits with individual characteristics. Wood's boyancy does give baits more action in some cases so there are pros and cons to both. I choose resins simply because they are virtually indestructable, hold my hardware stronger and will NEVER soak in any water which enables the bait to work the same always. I also like it becasue I can control the bouyency and/or the nuetral bouyancy or sink time by various formulations of Part A Part B vs. microspheres. You can NEVER do that with wood....with wood, you have to add lead weights, with resins (if you know what you're doing) you don't have to add any weight at all in most cases.

Location: Money, PA | Absolutely! Theres a place and time for both. I know one thing, I had to use a more agressive lip and angle to get the action I wanted from my baits...
One of the reasons balsa cranks are so effective, but muskies just tear them up! Everything has its place and everyone has their preferences... |
