I posted this in the lure building section but I guess it doesnt get enough attention for any replies! Does anyone know what wood Roman made swimbaits are made from? I am getting into wood carving my own baits and I cant figure out what they use.

I would think any softwood (ie. balsa, cedar or pine). I'm sure there are differences in how well the take paint or holdup over time, but that's where I would start.

They do not state the type of wood used for their lures. Only a special wood from Japan hand-carved at their Lake Biwa facility.

You will have better luck with this on a swimbait forum. I would try the swimbait universe on facebook or swimbaitunderground.com
I also doubt a company that sells $400 baits is going to put that information out there

If I were to guess I would say Paulownia wood. A different Japanese company makes $300 dollar stickbaits out of it

The autopsy of the bait was very interesting. Would take a lot of trial and error to make one that would work.
