hey chachybaby welcome to tackle underground i can explain how to make belly weights i use two wood blocks clamped together and drill in the center seams with your desired size of drill you would have to get desired weight by drill size you use! i will try to get some pics up tommorrow it is time for me to quit working now so pictures friday sometime!
i have noticed there is not much active building of lures made of wood wish guys would still talk about things cutting,shaping,painting assembly! just trying to stir up some conversation!
