This allows for better castability. The overall density of the balsa makes super-accurate, bullet-like casts possible, so getting into those hard-to-reach places is easier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso the movement in water is far more better compared to hollow plastic .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"trout lures\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/0652\/8917\/files\/Trout_lures_romania_480x480.jpg?v=1620904721\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI start with cutting the balsa wood shape for each model.
