Do you guys have any pictures and/or advice on setting up jigs for belly holes/weights, lip slots, eyes, etc. Also, with canal special type pencils do you think its easier, more efficient, to make the flat belly on a sander or a bandsaw? Thanks for any info.

Robert-

capesams did one with pics.

Couple of ideas for jigs in this thread: http://www.striped-bass.com/Stripertalk/showthread.php?t=20279

I know CapeSam posted photos of a few in a couple of his recent threads.

I would do the flat belly on the beltsander.
