Mark, that way seems to be pretty easy and convient but due to how unorthodox my build has been due to the fact that I currently lack a proper wood shop I may be going with the calculator VodkaMan has set up, awesome btw Dave I enjoy getting technical on occasion.
Not sure if you guys are familiar with Paul Adams on YouTube, but I've modeled my build after his balsa jerk-baits he built. Much easier for me considering my lack of power tools and space just hoping my end result is what I want!
Thank you both for the info, I enjoy being able to talk baits with fellow like-minded folks, i know my girl friend and coworkers are sick of hearing it ha.
