Is it better to carve or buy fish bodies?  I’m working on a skinny 26in walleye,  I bought a body and have been sanding for hours.   What do you use for carving?   thanks for the help arg

Both can be good options, but when you run into a fish like that carving is the best, rather then form modification. McKenzie sells blue carving foam that works well. You can also buy carving foam from some lumber yards etc….they are normally sold as flotation billets .

My videos series covers body carving :

Sanding fish bodies?  Try one of these.  Save the sanding for the fine details!
