Have you finished those sticks yet? Love to see some more photos of them as you complete your work.
 
Hey Don, all my lures have somewhat ground to a halt whilst I have been chasing 20lbers from the shore here in Hawkes BayWink
 
I had finished a jointed stick bait unsure if I have posted it some where on here?

And here is one pencil popper finished in the traditional red/white

Hi Nathan,
I have a rounded router bit which makes semi circular hole giving a pretty good start to the mouth and I have a round stone type bit I stick in a drill and ream it a bit more. A bit of a play with the sand paper and there you have it.
I have to admit to trying all sorts of techniques before settling on this.

That one looks good Nathan.  I'd be keen to hear how it swims.
Good luck
