no real science to it. just cut a strip and put it on the hook. skin is so tough that it stays on for a long time. works great. doesn't need the tail attached as shown above. I generally make mine thinner than that, but i'm sure it doesn't matter much.

Not sure what others use, but I've found that a decent pair of shears helps trim the strips better than a bait knife. Also, skin is pretty tough. Once you place the hooks in the strip it can be hard to adjust placement later.
Just my 2 cents.

Make sure you hook the bait like in the pic. The flesh side towards the point of the hook. If you do it the other way you will miss a lot of hook ups.
Blufish bellies are good also. I save my striper bellies when I fillet stripers, cut it in strips and freeze it in a baggie, lay them flat in the baggie to make it easier to separate later.
