we fish with a fly called a "nothing" in early spring the trout will eat a bare size 12 or 14 silver hook with just a dot of black or orange thread built up at the head and then varnished
As a kid, I caught plenty of bluegill on plain hooks. They'll hit anything that falls into the water. We'd toss in pebbles to see them take them and spit them out.
What a god-tier pond. Beautiful water, nice surroundings, dock and structure. Good size and healthy wipers, large mouth, small mouth, crappie, and who knows what else! I am jealous
I think this is the first time that I subscribed to a channel not because of the content, but because of the character. A+ entertainment value bud. Thank you.
Over the years of watching your channel, what I enjoy is seeing the method to your madness. Your paint jobs, choice of species, intricate mechanisms, everything is just nuts, but it works ingeniously. Another great lure, Nate.
LMAO - “the answer is clear”! 🤣🤣 OMG thank you for the Monday morning laugh! I’ve been out of the office for a little over a week and it’s Monday. Today is gonna be fun… 😳🙄😑 but you made it better. Thank you! 😂😂😂😅
One of my favorite topwater lures was a clear torpedo with a white deer tail. Man I miss that lure... not sure who made it but I can show you the tree that ate it 😎
That would definitely be on my top wish list for that pond. You can tell it is super well managed from the water color and the fish are super healthy looking.
Long time viewer (since your silent days) my 5yo watches every ep now too....Every single fish we catch he screams "it's official!!!" Thanks for all that ya do bro.
As much as I love to watch when you paint, this bait was a real treat. Reminds me of that trend in the late 90s early 00s where it seemed like everyone wanted clear plastics on their electronic devices. Its nice seeing the inner workings of the hardware
Turn that concept into a swim bait with 4 layers on the front and three on the back. Bigger air pockets and the triangle theory you recently had. Love the video
Hey Marling, 'member when that guy sent you a scroll saw?.....'member????...... But seriously, that was the tool you were looking for to cut the middle out of that piece. Like its designed for that exact situation. Love it man, your channel bridges channels of interest like fishing content and maker content. Both of which I like and watch, you've found the space between and I'm here for it.
Would love to see another attempt at the weedless bait that was not only an awesome idea but think could really by something people would buy. Love what you do either way great job
Think the lure is an A+. You asked for comments about what "I" want. Your painting is A+ especially when doing a bait fish, or a fish. I would assume doing it for as long as you have you get "tired" of same old same old. However, i could watch you do just jointed, painted fish every day. You are an A+ my friend.
Oh this is brilliant! I would like to see in that design a slot for replaceable luminescent sticks so that we can determine if the fish like nothing with extra green light...an evening/early morning trial would be a banger for a luminescent bait....
Those clear lures reflect a lot of the existing colors in the water. That’s why the clear plastic soft swim baits work so well. The baits look like the bait fish in the specific body of water you are in… which you probably know but I’m older than you and feel a need to counsel!🤣 Good ONE DAY!
Clearer the water the clearer the bait. Your pond appeared to have clear water. I figured your bait would do well. Some of the most successful baits are the translucent Wiggle Warts. If the fish get too good a look at most baits they identify it as fake. Unless I’m fishing stained or dirty water I’m using something more subtle. A good color for top water in clear water is bone. Really enjoy your videos
My #1 early Spring and late Fall topwater lure for smallmouth, is a clear Sammy 100 or a clear Gunfish 115. Smallies eat em best when they ignore everything else.
You should try other versions of this bait - one with a rattle in the hollow space, a colored LED or with a UV reflecting coating to see if they work even better. Also, coatings like matte Vantablack or flat mirrors on the sides would be interesting to test on a different bait.
Hi me again, my dad is friends with Keven too. He shocks our pond from time to time, don’t know the last time he shocked it but it was like 3 years ago. But we have 2 fish feeders both are the small pellet ones. And my dad is thinking about stocking our pond with some pellet trained bass which I think would be freaking awesome. And also my dad ice fishes Keven’s pond in the winter but has not fished it in open water yet as for I know. But ya you’re my favorite TH-camr there and you’re the best. Also maybe you me and my dad can fish it together maybe some time next summer if your fine with it. I’m 11 turning 12 here next month so ya. Your the best
That lip reminded me of a K9 swimbait / crankdown. You need to do one like that! Removable lip glide to a Jointed cranking bait. Where it walks (deadwalk) under water.
Will fish eat a hook? (a hooked shaped lure with hooks off the bottom)
Yeah they do. When you herring fish you use a gold hook nothing more. At least in the delaware river.
I second this nomination

Please pin this!!
My favorite part is when the fly landed and got shot. "ahh much better" -marling baits
keep up the good work dude congrats on 600k too
YEAH THAT'S SOO TRUE 😂
What a god-tier pond.
Beautiful water, nice surroundings, dock and structure.
Good size and healthy wipers, large mouth, small mouth, crappie, and who knows what else!

Such prominent net use! How responsible! I'm so proud of you!
This nothing bait has merit. Catches all kinds of fishes. Nice work Kent…please pursue this nothing thing !!!!!
Largemouth, smallmouth, catfish, crappie AND wiper? That's like a dream backyard pond.
Enjoying these recent uploads man
yeah me too
So the question is are you making something from nothing or nothing from something the answer is clear lol
Took me to long to think about tbh with you 😂
LMAO - “the answer is clear”! 🤣🤣 OMG thank you for the Monday morning laugh! I’ve been out of the office for a little over a week and it’s Monday. Today is gonna be fun… 😳🙄😑 but you made it better. Thank you! 😂😂😂😅

That would definitely be on my top wish list for that pond. You can tell it is super well managed from the water color and the fish are super healthy looking.
This is actually one of my favorite videos that you’ve made.
Attempt #51 of asking for a Payara (vampire fish) lure!
Second this.
That would be sick
100 likes and Nate has to do it
I think he made one a while back.
I’ve done this 51 times and this the first time it’s really blown up lol
Hello again Nate. Still missing a riverside lure build for the year. Keep it up!
Love to see a clear lure like this full of dry glitter ✨️ great video mate
I thought that was gonna be a new plastic addition to the channel, but nope, just another brilliant idea from the legend himself
Long time viewer (since your silent days) my 5yo watches every ep now too....Every single fish we catch he screams "it's official!!!" Thanks for all that ya do bro.
Next do the “anti-lure”, no lip, no action, no flash, camouflaged paint scheme.
I know for a fact that large bass and stripers love a clear Zara spook style topwater bait. And they're cool. O-fish-al. 😎👍
Love the videos ive been watching for 4 or 5 years now and i swear each video gets better keep up the great work.
So glad you got to the ditch as well. River fish love a big fat nothing burger too!
So clear makes a super effective bait fish that attracts the larger bass of the pond.
So satisfying to see your hardware in the hole....
You are my first favorite lure maker ever lol😊
Thanks for making my suggestions. Just made my day.
Dude. This has got to be one of the most fun videos. 😂 Very awesome lure.
super awesome nate! great idea to make a nothing bait. the fish action was fantastic my friend. thank you.
Been watching for a little over 7 years and every video is always just great
Not sure how you keep coming up with these ideas, just glad that you do. Great job!
As much as I love to watch when you paint, this bait was a real treat. Reminds me of that trend in the late 90s early 00s where it seemed like everyone wanted clear plastics on their electronic devices. Its nice seeing the inner workings of the hardware
♡♡♡ Love the slow motion releases.!
I'm naming it the ice cube lure! Awesome, thanks for this and all your hard work and content 😀
We are so thankful for your amazing content!!
Just noticed the award for valor.
Well done Nate.
Ya Im pretty sure he talked about it in a video a while back. Wish I remembered what video it was
it was for his life saving efforts as a lifeguard in Cedar Rapids when he was 18 years old. Salute!!!!
That pond is amazing. Nice build and another great video.
You are my favorite lure maker ever 😊
That bait is killin em! Great video!
Well, that performed much better than i imagined it would……and what an amazing little pond with so many species in it…AND Chunkers. 👍👍👍
Made my day man always happy to see you post!!
That’s the most unique pond I’ve ever seen. Really awesome
Random facts just a couple. Thanks for dropping new videos, I hope the family is doing good!
Awesome Ghost Lure! I would say fish REALLY like Ghost Baits! 😃👍
You sir, are like the Bob Ross of making and fishing the lures you make.
Turn that concept into a swim bait with 4 layers on the front and three on the back. Bigger air pockets and the triangle theory you recently had. Love the video
Great lure, awesome pond. Non stop lure crushin and slo mo releases, say less.
Man, what an epic pond. Largies, smallies, wipers, crappie and catfish?? Daaaaaang
Cool lure! That is a nice pond!
Crazy cool multi species video!!!

I love the kayak fishing wish you would do more.
Absolutely love your content ,keep up the amazing work 👏👏
Would love to see another attempt at the weedless bait that was not only an awesome idea but think could really by something people would buy. Love what you do either way great job
this may be one of your best producers

And now i know I've been painting all my lure blanks for no reason! Thanks Nate!
Congratulations on 600k man!!!
Crazy dream pond, never seen something like it.
14:28 When that chainsaw kicked in I was like "Yeah, that ain't helping." 3 seconds later, monster bass slams the Nothing lure!!!
600k subs!!! Congrats Nate
Now I want to try this great video marling!
Another classic One Day! Would love to see a Top Gear style ranking system for your quickest offishial One Days
Bro just Irish mafia’d that fly 😂😂😂
Some very nice fish, Love the videos as always!
I haven't been counting, but I've definitely been asking for an EPIC redo of the mantis lure. Haha.
The manual start for your little belt sander is a nice safety. Lol
Make a replica of your kayak and see if it catches anything! Love the work you do.
Oh this is brilliant! I would like to see in that design a slot for replaceable luminescent sticks so that we can determine if the fish like nothing with extra green light...an evening/early morning trial would be a banger for a luminescent bait....
Finally, an answer to the ultimate question. Thanks Nate

This was awesome!
Video quality was really nice in this one.
Why Oh why? This simple transparent lure works like magic!!!👌👌👌
On the next episode, vantablack lure!
That's EXACTLY how I talk. And you should do a catch and cook with both pond and river Bass and see which tastes better.
That glow when you cured the adhesive makes me think a small LED would make a glowing lure interesting.
Thank you for your sharing bro,I like to watch your video,see you then,God bless you.
Nice man love your vids.Here from South Africa. :). we have the spotted grunter and they love translucent lures 😊
Clearer the water the clearer the bait. Your pond appeared to have clear water.
I figured your bait would do well. Some of the most successful baits are the translucent Wiggle Warts. If the fish get too good a look at most baits they identify it as fake. Unless I’m fishing stained or dirty water I’m using something more subtle. A good color for top water in clear water is bone.
Really enjoy your videos
It would be cool to see a Riverside build where are you build one plastic, one metal and one wood lure all from recycled or found items👍🏻👍🏻
Another bait to slay!!!🔥
My #1 early Spring and late Fall topwater lure for smallmouth, is a clear Sammy 100 or a clear Gunfish 115. Smallies eat em best when they ignore everything else.
I think that’s my next purchase of color for clear water lakes. Blanks (invisible)catch fish in clear water!!! On to the next bait!
1:17 I like how you get the sander going lol
Awesome. Should put gold and red flake in the clear and let that thing shine. It's official!!
First vid of urs I’ve seen great content keep it up
I've haven't asked again in a couple of years......but please consider making a scubadiver lure 🙏
I want to see you catch fish on a tiny scuba diver.
I have a clear super spook jr. It has caught many bass and red fish. I think there's something to these clear lures.
Hell yah ! The bug assult .love that gun
I believe the “engineered angler” does this. He paints the inside of the layers. Looks pretty cool.
You should try other versions of this bait - one with a rattle in the hollow space, a colored LED or with a UV reflecting coating to see if they work even better. Also, coatings like matte Vantablack or flat mirrors on the sides would be interesting to test on a different bait.
Honestly I love throwing clear baits

Tore it tf up at that pond man, good stuff
Make a toy steam train. Enjoy your builds.
Can u and Kevin be my new best friends?!Lol!!!What a beautiful pond and awsome size fish
That lip reminded me of a K9 swimbait / crankdown. You need to do one like that! Removable lip glide to a Jointed cranking bait. Where it walks (deadwalk) under water.
The center cutout you could put a colored foil between the outsides. And with all the various foils available, the ideas abound.
Marling baits video on my birthday. What could be better than that?
Would love to see more hard (plastic) baits.
Maybe even add in foil in between the layers.
🔥
