I will try to show in a different video but to the human eye at least they all look the same under water.

@WMBayouLures Wonder if it's different to them? I mean this sincerely. I'm not trying to be ugly.

@@SkeletorJenkins great question! I know some people like them dull and some people rough up there lures. Might try to setup a few test

Yep glow mica will work

Thanks for clearing up those specifics! I will go find the video that mentioned the earlier bladed jigs. I don't know the specifics but this gentleman had a few samples of what he claimed where bladed jigs released before the Chatterbait was patented. In my limited experience with the patent office, specifically in the tech/software space, it is almost impossible for them to track down prior art in these small niche areas.

Thats what everyone else has to call their chatterbait knockoff due to the trademark Z-Man has on the term Chatterbait...

@@WMBayouLures Just like it's facial tissue not Kleenex, and medicated adhesive strips, not Band-Aids, right? But like many of these households names, they are so good and so entrenched, if you don't use the TMed name, most won't know what you are referring to. Try to tell someone you rented a Dumpster without using that TMed name.

Good one!

Great, all of them are going strong, just with more scratches of course! I will do a follow-up video once this rain stops!

💯😆

Wow thanks!

Must be an artifact, while I love me some 3D printing nerd, I didn't jack his logo....

Oh man its been a while since I owned this machine but I *think* you need a working USB on a PC to setup the adapter and then it just works on the Saturn Ethernet port.

You have to have it plugged into some form of USB for it to get power, or it just won't work, because it requires power. I didn't have mine hooked up to the PCs USB port to set it up, you just need to have it hooked up to the PCs Ethernet port, you can have the USB plugged into a normal phone charger (as long as it provides enough power).

I usually leave it running while I print but that is really only because I generally print over night. In some rare cases it can get too hot and cause issues but I have only have that happen once, it was totally my fault, the resin was already hot, turned on the heater by mistake, and had a really long print.

@@WMBayouLures alright, I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

Yet another thing The Thing looks like!😆

Thanks for asking you get 6 in a pack for $5.87

Probably but the molds do not contain fine details and I don't own a microscope...

Right on!

@@WMBayouLures thank you very much

Thank you!

Thanks dude!

It is fairly brittle but not overly brittle, if that makes sense. I have used it for mold making and it handles pulling out silicone blocks without issue so I would guess it is at least worth a try.

Every resin has a temp range but 72F is generally considered "good", rememb er this is just the temp of the resin.. The room can be 0F but if you warm the resin to 72 you will be fine. Once the printing starts the resin will keep itself warm in all but the coldest conditions.

Yes you just want to make sure you are in a space with no UV light (usually the sun from a window etc)

H-Town baby!

@@WMBayouLures yes sir I live in Houston

To avoid line twist, which leads to backlash or massive tangles in spinning gear you should run swivels with spoons.

Interesting technique, never tried that but sounds like a good way to get a ton of line twist even if it works. When you reel up the spoon is going to twist the line. Not the end of the world but something to think about.

Only 4 😆

If you place them in a bag with another color bait, or shoot a laminate (2 different bait colors) the red with slowly mix in with the other bait. Just like washing your white socks with a red shirt and getting pink socks.

Yep thin extrude is what you want here is the video Easy Fishing Lure Scales in Fusion 360 th-cam.com/video/JW6uU1aQS4k/w-d-xo.html

99.999% of the time it’s not worth it. It really doesn’t matter if it’s hand carved and you haven’t seen it anywhere, if it looks like anything in nature you can’t patent it. I have a long interview with a patent attorney here - Fishing Lure Patents - Everything you want to know with Dylan Adams th-cam.com/video/QP1dWPQ42Y0/w-d-xo.html

@@WMBayouLures thanks for sharing!

@@WMBayouLures My invention is a salt water vertical jig and can come in several individual colors with single or duel assist hooks, there's nothing on the market hat looks like it. Its.. At the moment it only comes in one weight size. Can it be patent? Should I patent before I bring it to market? Should I get a patent attorney to do the patent? or can I do it myself. I've tested the lure myself and it works great. Your thoughts would be appreciated

@@fishyknife Every lure I design is not something currently on the market, and I don't have a patent on any of them. Just because nothing is like it on the market, doesn't mean it can be patented or it hasn 't already been patented. While technically you can get a patent yourself, the chances of it being a patent that can't easily be circumvented is fairly small. Writing patents is a skill/art. A good patent attorney is going to cost you $10k-$20K dollars to go through the entire process. If you get a patent (big if) then you will need an attorney to send cease and desist letters to everyone that violates it, if you miss one then your patent becomes basically worthless. This will get you a US patent, no one outside the US is covered by this patent. So China, Japan etc can copy it and make there own version. You will spend countless hours playing whack a mole keeping these listings off of Amazon/Temu etc.... So how many lures do you have to sell before you get $15K back? It usually answers itself....

@@WMBayouLures Net 7/8 bucks off each lure/15k not a problem. The problem is knock offs made in china and sold on temu etc. Spoke to the company and the manager hinted at what we were going to use there product for. If we get the patent in US and then would like to sell it over seas. we talked to the company and they said it would be possible to make the mold in different sizes which truly make this one of a kind lure. "patent there bigger mold?" It would not be hard to spot patent infringement on amazon/ebay etc. Air tight design patent? We dont want to waste time and energy by going down this rabbit hole only to play whack a mole. My question is how you would go about this since you design lures. Do we get a provisional first then fully patent or throw it on the market here and say "there just gonna copy it any way?" It's a basic design, not complicated at all? P.S. we will also be selling other fishing related products year round on our web site.. This lure would bring them to our door to build our brand name?

I had a CNC for a while but it took up way too much of my time, so partnering with Driven CNC has been great! I do the design and prototyping and the the machining is handled by a real expert!

Saturn 3 Ultra hands down

Will be updating soon but sadly nothing has really changed.
