My pink just isn't as hot as the other plugs. Next order from Dixe art I'll have to get some Flamengo to match the others better. Hope she like it.

Actually Freak, I don't use that atypical wood that others use. I am using old growth redwood. Why Because Redwood is very bouyant and light. No the grain is not tight and no matter what you do it will show through. But what you look at in a purty lure is not what a fish will even worry about. Instead I get a plug that swims ten times better than an AYC plug. I can build them bigger and with less full body weight to keep them swimming and swerving better. Which means more action, which means more fish!
To me how well a plug swims is more important than how clean it is. Knowing your a car guy, I understand your feeling about grain or Orange peel.
