    Hey just one thing when you are putting lead in the bait make sure your separate pieces have the same sink rate that way there will be no friction between your joint so it will swim way better.

    Just a little advice brother next time you use your bandsaw drop the roller bearing guide to about 1/8" or so from your work peice. It definitely helps keep the cut a lot straighter up and down with less room for the blade to flex. Awesome job as always Ben and keep up the awesome videos brother!

    I drill holes into blank areas of a metal sinker mold to make belly weights. I score the bottom so I can add a wire hook hanger if I want for crankbaits, or leave the wire off for other belly weights. I seal the bait, assemble it, then use masking tape to tape belly weight on to test in a tub or pool. I can move the weights around, add and subtract to get the exact sink, rise or suspend I want. Once I have it weighted correctly, I take hooks off, hinge pin out, and drill holes and epoxy the weights on. I smooth over the belly weights by making wood putty with fine sawdust from the band saw and epoxy. I sand it down, one more seal coat, then paint, clear coat and final assemble. Great looking bait u made.
