Sorry guys for the delay on this video i’ve been teaching myself to edit on davinci resolve and also i had 3.5h of footage to cut and edit for this one😅 hope you enjoy the video and thanks for your patience
Dude I’m 50 years old and built my first lure when I was barely a teenager. I’ve picked up a lot of knowledge and more than a few tricks over the decades… I don’t want to sound arrogant about it; the point is not many guys out here in the interwebs have much to teach me anymore. You are my favorite builder to watch. You have taught me some things. Keep up the great work brother! 👍
Love how meticulous you are with the process, there’s nothing more frustrating than watching someone cut corners and your workmanship is the exact opposite! Much love from England 😊
Absolutely beautiful work as usual Mikko! I really enjoyed this one and it was worth the wait. Lol. I know you put in a lot of time and sacrifice. I always enjoy seeing your work and appreciate what you do for the building community. Thank you and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the next video.
Just some advice. Although this jointed swimbait isn't as crucial as a glide. The microballons will rise in the mold. So with your spru holes being at the bottom of the bait all of your buoyancy created by the micro balloons will be at the bottom of the bait when they should be at the top, resulting in an unstable swimbait. Beautiful job on the molds. But the lures performance would be much better if you were to have them parallel and you fill from the top!
I use a thin blade on my band saw I use for lures and small stuff like that. The thinner blade seems, to me at least, to be easier to make curves that are smoother cuts.
Came back to watch this video again. This is such and amazing lure. Love the action. And I see you sold out which is super! I would like to make a lure like this.
Отличное видео!!! Мне очень нравится ваша работа,ваш стиль и то как вы объясняете - хотя я английского языка ещё пака не знаю но мне все нравится!,я много приманок сделал из ваших видео и все они прекрасно работают по рыбе, спасибо Вам огромное!!!!!!!
I follow you since you still using handtool..and still remember that you pick a wood that been throw away and make a beatiful lure..dont worry about what people say about tool
Love watching your videos! One question for you on carving in the scales. Is this wasted effort in that the carved scales are filled in by the epoxy at the end vs just using the netting for the scale effect? Curious about your thoughts on this. Thank you!
It really depends on what kind of effect you want to accomplish. carved scales to me look more realistic when you highlight them and dont take as much time to do as painted scales. But that being said i dont think the fish care either way, both will work.
Just to add one point: NEVER use gloves for band saws, circular saws or belt sanders! Using gloves is e.g. forbidden in Germany for that, as it increases the risk and the potential damage, if it rips your hand in the machine because of your glove!
I hate youtube for removing comments. I spent time writing a comment regarding tools, but it was gone in no time after posting. It's so demotivating and kinda encourages to limit the reactions to something like "lol cool bro". Definitely not good for any meaninfgul discussion, unfortunately.
This video was superb!!! But I do have one question …. When you’re gonna do the wash technique…. Do you put the wash right on top of your paint job or do you put a clear coat of some kind on first before you do the wash… again the video was awesome and really enjoy how you explain everything and why you do what you do… thanks again
Wow wow wow, I have to say it has to be one of your best videos, if not the best. The combination of detail and how you showed some of your techniques, plus the result with those beautiful lures es ES PEK TA CULAR 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏 We do really appreciate you fine work. On the other hand, did you only weighted the front part of the lure?
I enjoy every video that you upload on every lure that you make. Thanks so much Mikko. But I do strongly disagree with you on one thing you've said a couple of times. You chose to not share your templates and it's not because they are destroyed in the process of creating a lure... You can always make copies, post PDFs, or even show a straight-on view of your in-tact templates prior to use in your videos. You deliberately chose to not share them, and I whole heartedly believe it is fine if you share or if you don't, because your templates are yours to do with as you please and see fit, just as you decided to not show weighting and balancing of these lures. Most manufacturer's keep trade secrets. If you're going to give a reason for not sharing your intellectual property, please be transparent, we can take it... or at least those of us that are mature enough can. By the way, I have drawn this swimbait in 5 inch and 6 inch templates and would be more than happy to send them to you if you like. Again, thanks for all the wonderful content that you produce for our benefit!
It would be nice to speed through the boring bits. Such as, the band saw choice, the tuning of the saw, and of course the EVER MORE ANNOYING bloody safety BS. I mean what is this? Is it a lure making session, or a Woodworking 101, Wood working for the imbecile? The point IS to make us watch for the LURE MAKING as you see it, right? Just think…EVERYTHING we watch, has the SAME ANNOYING SAFETY LESSONS. Somebody has to just get on with it. Pander to the 99% of us who DON’T REQUIRE the SAFETY WHINE.
As someone who is essentially teaching i feel its my responsibility to try and promote safe working methods. You are always free to skip the boring parts. Or even better make your own videos and choose your own direction.

Hey love everything youre doing! One thing, you have overlapping audio at 1:00:30
Keep up the work reguardless 💪
@@Archuhi3 yeah i dont think i can do anything about that now unfortunately.

Thanks for checking out the video Tom
That swimming action was sick, great job Mikko!
Thanks im sure it will slay some fishies

Hej, I must say how much I look forward to the new releases of your videos. Thanks again for an incredible demonstration of your indupitable skills.
Thanks for checking out the video
Probably your best video yet. Loved the close up stuff!
Thanks thats nice to hear
Welcome again, seniors to listen to your work, greetings, always healthy, continue to work and always be blessed with brilliant ideas from God
A lot of effort, I agree. But totally worth it. A wonderful and realistic result. Well done!

Your naturally talented sir. Great video
I use a thin blade on my band saw I use for lures and small stuff like that. The thinner blade seems, to me at least, to be easier to make curves that are smoother cuts.
These are spectacular! You reached the holy grail for lifelike appearance and action. Those are getting bit no question
Thanks i had lots of fun making these
Thanks mikko. I quite enjoyed that. Im always a fan of longer (especially hr.+) videos too
Großartige Arbeit, sehr gut, es ist unglaublich!
Absolute wonderful job.
thank you Matthew
As always. Killer lures.I used ryobi for 20 years before 1 failed. But once they did it way all at once😂😂😂
Came back to watch this video again. This is such and amazing lure. Love the action. And I see you sold out which is super!
I would like to make a lure like this.

Very nice as always. Great swim action. Definitely appreciate the effort 🤙🏻
Very nice lures 👍👍 bet they all took a good while to do, great videos keep em coming
I’ve always enjoyed your videos. Very detailed and informative! I’ve made some swimbaits and my style is similar as far as a hands on approach
Thanks for another great video and build! Much love from sweden!
Very beautiful Lure.
Hey nice video man. I was wondering how do you weigh the bait in the mold ?
Those look similar to the shad that come up and kiss the bottom of my boat when I launch it except their yellow stripe is a bit thinner.
Awesome Lure
I follow you since you still using handtool..and still remember that you pick a wood that been throw away and make a beatiful lure..dont worry about what people say about tool
Your right its more about the person than the tool
Always a pleasure seeing your work 👌
Thanks Karl
Found it! Thanks
What type of metal/wire did you use to attach the joints?
Ещё хотел спросить,какую древесину вы используете? Я большинство приманок делаю из липы и тополя ,иногда использую более плотную древесину.
You do great work. 🤘🏻
비드로 눈만들기 되나요?
One word "WOW!"
Best lure !
Awesome video!!! Your baits rock!!!
Glad you like them!

Hi, awesome job!, have you eve tried a gun checkering cutting tool for the scales? I believe they come in diffetent lines per inch cutting points
No I haven’t tried those not sure if they suit for such small and relatively delicate pieced
Holy crap I would have sanded the molds level too!! Haha... good move
Nice work..no lead weight in?
Its a secret
Wea have u been good sir,,,, u r among the best at wat u do... exceptional talent.❤❤
Thank you appreciate that
You should used japaness slem hand saw for pilot cutting it's fast
Pure art!
Thanks steve
Those are sick!!
Cool lures
Hey Mikko! There is a doubling up of the audio starting at the 1 hour mark. Great video! I will continue because I really enjoy how you make baits.
Someone already mentioned about that. I will see if i can do something about that. Thanks anyways.
Hi.
My name is Hany from Egypt.
I want to ask if this kind of baits is suitable for sea ?
Also, what is the price.
Thank you in advance.
Hello Hany truthfully i think this model is probably not suitable for sea fishing.
Thank you for your reply.
All the best.
Greetings.

why don't you melt the Vaseline before applying it? you could get better coverage
Too much work that i personally think is unnecessary
Cam you share the Templates this will give us to follow your footsteps and try
😂 your either trolling me or you didn’t watch the whole video.
Mikkeli/Suomi kiittää taas kerran hyvästä videostasi!
Amazing!!!
Is there something wrong with the sound? Im not getting any
works on my end.
Ahh all working now gave me time to make a mug of coffee.
I hear only one sound issue, for about 5-10 second two voice.
Not a big deal.
👍👍👍👍👍
This video was superb!!! But I do have one question …. When you’re gonna do the wash technique…. Do you put the wash right on top of your paint job or do you put a clear coat of some kind on first before you do the wash… again the video was awesome and really enjoy how you explain everything and why you do what you do… thanks again
ah yes i forgot to mention that you should use a clear to protect the under layer of paint when you do the wiping or else it might come off.
Wow wow wow, I have to say it has to be one of your best videos, if not the best. The combination of detail and how you showed some of your techniques, plus the result with those beautiful lures es ES PEK TA CULAR 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏 We do really appreciate you fine work.
On the other hand, did you only weighted the front part of the lure?
In this case yes i only wighted the first segment
@@SolarfallBaits Thanks! The wash effect was donde as usual painting the bait first with the vallejo varnish?

You need to do proper swim videos my brother. Too much effort for tub videos and that's not thr best representation of your work
And the way you used lexan as placeholders for the hinge slots. Great idea! Bravo
Your probably right
