Just did a podcast interview with "Made to Cast". It aired today, talked about often asked questions and other lure topics. Here's the link if you want to check it out.

Try as I might I just cant call this art. It is more engineering and physics and fluid dynamics. the better you are at those things the better your lures come out. Even colours get scientific when you look at the interaction with water colouration and such. it is for sure science over art.
Hello, Grand Master. And what do you primer the product with before coloring? White epoxy?
I'm a simple guy, i see Franco and i automatically like the video
Same 😅
Thanks bro.
Most underrated lure making channel on TH-cam!
Thank you.
Just wanted to share something with you, I really enjoy your channel and the info you give us. I live in Fla. and now I'm 63 yrs.old my father was a avid salt and fresh water fisherman and in the early 60s started using a injection molding machine to make clear 2 part fishing lures which he would mold from live fish i.e. Pinfish and other Baitfish. the 2 sided body's were clear and he would put different insert's in i.e. silver foil and sometimes glitter and glue the body's together and then add the line tie and hook hardware. I always felt that he was way ahead of his time because i'm not even sure if Mirrolure was doing that at that time. Sadly because of having children and having to raise a family he was never able to expand on what he was doing or even market it. Remember at that time almost all lures were made of wood. He also dabbled in make plastic worms but the plastic at that time was not that soft but he still made some. I still wonder to this day what would have happened if he had the financial resources to continue and expand. It brings to mind the old saying that everything that is old is new again. Thanks for letting me share.
Wow... that's amazing, thank you
Brother you are the king. you have solved all of my problems. I have spent a good 200.000 NZD on purchasing lures. Thank you brother LOVE your channel. Your channel does not deserve a like, It deserves a LOVE bro. Honestly
Thank you so much...it's gratifying to hear.
Man that was awesome precision and attention to detail, thank you, great to watch
I appreciate your detailed instructions, and seeing how much your skills have been honed.
Awesome job the lure looks amazing. I think the paint job turned out perfect. Thanks for the lesson and I look forward to your next project.
looking good as usual on your making of lures, nice instruction how to do it, thanks again
vary informational looking forward to watching your older vids to make a mold
That was another very informative video. I like that perfection and precision, precise like a surgeon.
Best lure making channel on TH-cam...absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much...
Just wanted to say that I enjoy your videos. I build custom flyrods, rebuild vintage (bamboo) fly rods; tie bass, trout, and salmon flies, and have been making bass lures for about 30 years now. I know quality work when I see it. I enjoy your work. Good on ya!
Thanks so much
Who'd have thought that learning Arquímedes at school would be that usefull!!!
i wondered how they make these things!.. thank you... this was very informative!
“just so you know rapala i’m not making copies of your lures and selling them on ebay for 50 dollars a piece.”
“and I actually have a plastic formed stencil that i made a long time ago, that fits right on there” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I respect the hustle bro.
Im a plastic modeler/Diorama builder. Always wanted to try my hand at this exact topic. Glad I found your page.
Welcome
Not much to say, perfect creations.. Well done
This video and project turned out great! You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for the lesson
Thanks.
that was a very interesting video , well done
Outstanding, I love the real silver plating. There are guys who troll for salmon and trout who swear by silver plated spoons.If you put a silver spoon and a chrome spoon next to one another you can definitely see the difference. Does it really matter? Who knows.
If you published a book on all your engineering calculations for building lures, I'd be at the front of the line to purchase one! I know what you're doing is simple for folks who have Degrees. But, I find it quite amazing how one can know so much about applying weight, and balancing a lure, before even so much as whittling the first notch!
I try to offer it in simple ways but itcan be a bit of a puzzle even for engineers.
Thanks so much...I'm considering creating some lure type specific lure design guidelines and offer them up.
@@EngineeredAngler That would be amazing! I will be looking for it! Thanks Franco!!!
Just when you thought you knew something about fishing, Franco makes another Video.🐟🐟🐟
Simply brilliant, I loved the Rapala Glidin Rap for Pike I have a green chrome, 12 years old had dozens of fish also discontinued would love to make a run with some nature pike colours.
Love this video. You did a thorough explanation that was easy to understand
Thanks
Thank you Sir! Really good one!
That was a nice duplicate. I have some baits that are no longer created that I would like to make and use. Great video. Thanks.
Those came out looking amazing.
Thanks
That silver coat is amazing stuff! Great looking baits.
Thanks 👍
@@EngineeredAnglerhow do I purchase the silver plating sprayer and chemical that chrome is awesomeness
My first time watching your work. Very good!
Thank you and welcome to the channel.
Thanks for sharing this video with us Franco :)
I don't fish didnt really grow up around water but i ended up liking the video making these doesn't seem complicated but its probably more expensive to get into then it looks especially if someone like me will try it out just because without a proper tool box very cool of you to share tho best of luck to you
Best lure builder on TH-cam 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😂
Wow, thanks!
Nice work! I wish I can test a few of your lures, Maybe for pike, percb fishing.
You answered the question perfectly franco thank you 👌 the duplicate lures look brilliant, would be interesting too see a video on making the same lure but scaled up to like 6 or 7" and then another video on how to adjust the new scaled up version into a jointed swim bait 👍👍 3 different baits all from the one original design 👍👍 keep em coming great content!
All good ideas...thanks
not all understood but very impresived by final result. You're too amazing, really. (from France)
Thank you so much.
Amazing painting, your colors are spot on. I would love to be able to airbrush like that!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job!
Best channel for those looking to start with lure making. Great watch. Thank you! Can you give a few more details on how you actually do the silver plating?
Neat, glad you shared this, just carved a lure from Poplar and want it replicated.
Go for it!
Awesome video, Love using a variety of lures... So much work to make them' I did not know what was intaled... So I will from now on appreciate my lures by remembering what went in to them.... Fantastic video.... LOVE IT..... and subbed.... 😊❤
Glad you like the video! Thanks
Instant subscription! You speak my language love it!
Thanks so much.
Before this video got into it I want to say that I'm a person not too much into detail. Detail is something I've always not been too good at. I have engineers as relatives and I know there's much detail involved.
Stunning work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Impressive Franco. I would like to see a side by side with the original. I have often considered doing this with a couple lures that are no longer in production, this is inspiring. Great video.
Thanks.
Great video!
I like yours more than the original.
Great video ++
leaned alot in just 1 vid..thanx alot!
Glad it helped!
I haven't gotten into making molds yet, but I am tucking away information just in case!
I've seen you do that water volume displacement before, just haven't figured out how to plug it into my process to be able to use it. Starting to use your density per CM to calculate weight though.
Great video, good info. Lure test was missing!
Some under water shots would have been nice...
I would so love to do this with a fire tiger husky jerk. They are so hard to find in stores anymore. But my painting skills just are good enough to reproduce that one of a kind color scheme. It's probably a confidence thing, but I can out fish just about every fire tiger variation with a rapala. I've tried the cheap lures I've tried the expensive ones, rapala fire tiger always wins, typically by over 5 to one, all other things being equal. Maybe someday I'll get the painting process figured out. That's a fantastic replica, you have to update us after on the water experiments and see if it fishes as well as the original. Great job!
My only time catching with fish with a jerk bait was with a 2 inch floating firetiger rapala
im not going to lie ! I really enjoyed this video. Really cool set up and great look crank baits!!
Thank you for your honesty😀
Countdown to 30k! LFG! (Should be 100k)
It should totally be 100k! Right?
Wow I didn't know about the 3m sand paper👍
Thanks for the video. I actually have lures I don't use anymore because I'm afraid of loosing them because they don't make them anymore. It seems like if a lure works they discontinue it
Can't believe I stumbled across this particular video of yours. The Rapala Twitching Rap is my absolute favorite juvenile tarpon lure. They love it! I am dumbfounded that Rapala quit making such an awesome lure. The biggest problem with it is that I think it is made of balsa wood and is easily damaged. Especially by such an aggressive and hard fighting fish as the tarpon. Since they don't make it anymore it is the only lure in my box that I won't share. I've never used the chrome version though. If you want to test the effectiveness of your lure compared to the original send me a couple and I will put it to the test! Super cool and informative video.
They're super productive for redfish, trout and snook. Most of these are going to a tournament fisherman buddy...the rest are for me🙂
your work is better than the original and you are complete with the equipment seems that you master the creation of lure in fact you can get rich from it impressive engineering keep up and God bless ❤
Thanks 👍
Amazing as always..turned out really cool..better then the original 🍻🎣
Thank you.
My man, why can’t you be my uncle! You are awesome and great video from fit to finish!
Thanks.
Yeah that lure busted alot of big marsh reds in my time,,, love , love it.
Right on
What was that spray you used to get that silver finish?
Nice content 👍
👏👏👏 wow
Franco, would you be willing to do a series on building a mold and casting a hollow body lure in two parts that you would glue together and be able to place weight and rattles in?
That has been on my to-do list for a few years...I can't seem to decide on a lure that would be worth all the effort. I'll get there...
Hi Franco,
Basically you showed as 2 main ways to calculate lures volume:
1-By math, through the density of a given material
2- by weight, submerge the lure in water, weighting the water displacement.
In your videos you did this 2nd method in 2 different ways, as you are showing in this video or through a "pipe system".
I tried to experimenting a lot doing multiple times volume measurement of the same lure through the above mentioned 3 ways and I always end up with differences of 1.5 to 2 grms between these 3 different methods.
It sounds a lot, I was expecting smaller numbers, differences of less than a gr, my tests repeated several times proved wrong.
"Big" differences like this are normal?
Probably the volume calculation through material density is the more reliable method, what do you think?
Thanks 🙏 a lot is never enough!!!!!!!
There can be quite a bit of variation when you use the overflow water displacement method. I have found that the calculated density/volume method is most accurate if (big if) you are accurate with your measurements and have a good scale with a display to two decimal points (1/100 of a gram). I have been showing the weight in water method lately because I think the average craft person can get the best results that way. But, you have to be carful with surface bubbles and touching the bottom or sides of the container. And, again, a good scale is important.
Thanks,
I got good scale, 2 decimal points and I use a large deep container, touching sides or bottom is not a problem. bubbles I don't know, I don't see any, in any case I always add one drop of soap as you told.
One final question sorry,
Cause the most reliable method should be through material density, how do you calculate it in case of resin lure:
Do you cast a cube of ONLY resin? measuring then volume and weight
or
Do you cast a cube of resin and microbaloons then do measurement?
Thanks 🙏 so much!
Excellent instructions and clear know how. Only advice i would give is your video is very "bright" or really white. Try darken it a little, it hard to make out some of the details in the cups and lure when your making it.
Yes... thank you. I'm struggling with the camera's exposure. I think it's time for a new one 🤔
That silver finish is wicked cool. Have you done a video showing that?
Yes I have
@@EngineeredAngler Adding that to my watch later!
Definitely subscribing to this channel! I’m not an engineer yet, but studying mechanical engineering and I love to fish and am old enough to have seen some favorites discontinued. That being said, I just took Statics last semester and I’m trying to think about what little I learned regarding fluid displacement in that course to apply it to understanding your volume calculation. In that class, we only used that concept to focus on the forces applied to the submerged body by the water column above it and the water surrounding it by integration. How does the displaced water volume directly correlate to it’s weight on the scale? It seems like it would be pushed in all directions, not just the -y-direction measured by the scale.
It must be this: “Buoyancy and flotation are based on Archimedes' principle, which states that the force, called the buoyant force, that lifts (buoys) upward a floating or submerged body in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that would be in the volume displaced by the fluid.” The body of the lure is equal and oppositely pushing against the upward buoyancy force downward to the scale. That’s why you say you’re holding it as steady as possible, to get the most accurate reading. The reading is most accurate when the lure is held completely still. Very cool.
That's exactly right.
Ill never complain about paying 14 bucks for a lure! Great job
That's wise.
Brah- ill mow your lawn for a couple of those lures!! JK. Good stuff!!
Sure but it's three acers
After watching the vid I saw someone last week suggest adding a second ring between the lure body and hook I know this would change the weight but that could be calculated in when you're making a custom lure like this. The reason they said to add these was it of course makes the hook hang lower but also makes it so the hook can rotate almost 360⁰ and therefore the fish tend to stay on the hook better. What do you think about this?
I don't agree. Most fish shake the hook and they can do it using the inertia of the lure. They instinctively know to get their heads out of the water so they can shake their heads with a powerful acceleration. Extending the lure out from the point of connection can increase the inertia of the lure during the head shake and result in the fish throwing the lure. In fact, I use short shank lures to improve my odds.
I sometimes search on chinese market sites to find a cheap lures even though it would takes a long time to deliver. But unfortunately they don't copy those , or I can not find them.
Do you have a video on the chrome ingredient set up? Products etc
Sure...you should checkout the playlist

Hey, I always appreciate your videos. They are very informative and detailed. But I am having trouble finding Allumilite Microballoons. And I was wondering while I am searching for another product, if there is a difference between Glass Microspheres and Phenolic MicroBalloon? Just wondering because, I don't see either name on the Allumilite container you used and I don't want to spend money on something wrong. Thanks in advance.
The phenolic filler will work just fine. It's a bit less dense than the glass spheres but are just as easy to mix and sand.
I thought Mark Rober's channel was cool. Now I've found the pinnacle, engineering and fishing :)
Welcome aboard!
Have your ever painted a Paul brown corky, if you have what paint do you use and how do you seal it ?
No I haven't...
Now the question is if it works properly 😊
Another amazing lure. How does the silver plating work/ what technique do you use?
I've made a few videos on the process...you should check them out.
@EngineeredAngler, How different are those lures made of Balsa wood or even a similar wood?
sorry not sure what your asking...
Çok güzel emek ve bilgi dolu bir çalışma olmuş.
Kutluyorum.
Mümkünse 9.6 gr yapılan ile avlanma videosu görebilir miyiz?
Selamlar
Any chance of trying out that hollow body frog? I think I went I little hard trying to sell the idea before before, but I really do think it would be a great video and it's a cool process. Really enjoyed this video looking forward to the next one!
I like the idea but I would be including designing and building a special machine for centripetal casting. It will be a while 🙂
@@EngineeredAngler the way it's done here doesn't require any fancy molds, its just an inverted pattern and you flip it to have the texture on the outside when its done.
I am not clear on what you used or how you got the chrome finish? What is the set up to get that finish?
Check out my videos on spray chrome
I've had other BPM baits th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!
hi, i m asking about quantity of microballons that i should use when i cast lure with epoxy resine

Welcome back
Have you ever attempted swiveling hook hangers? I see alot of other handmade lures have them. But I don't seem to find them anywhere for sale. Just the swampo and barrel style swivels. What would be your approach to inserting them into a 2 piece mold?
I like that question I might make a video just to demo the way I have done it in the past. Thanks.
@Engineered Angler Lures awesome! Thank you!! You don't see it alot. But they are very affective and a great added sense of comfort!
Good as always, thanks so much!
About polyuretan resin density, 0.9 x ml,
How did you get this info, resin "user manual"?
About spraying Chrome, could you please explain in details all ingredients Needed? Sorry to mind here where i am living we dont have easy products reperibility as over there in Florida,
I found a spray Chrome set that works with the gun that you show, that takes 4 different chemical ingredients, 3 of them come with hardener. What about your system, how many ingredients, how many of them come with hardener?
Thanks so much for your excellent work!!!!!!
I use the chemicals from Angel Gilding.
Check out his Playlist on Chroming stuff. He explains everything.
Hello sir, first and foremost i love your videos. Have you tried SB paint on plastic? i purchased every color that Lureworks sold. I'm hoping that the SB airbrush paint that is designed to work with plastisol will work. I need that bright aluminum or chrome color for the internals of baitfish.
Haven't tried it yet...
Sir, can you please share more information about that silver plating you did? I REALLY want to learn it.
Thank you!!
Yes, soon
@@EngineeredAngler Ooooh! I'll be waiting! Thanks for doing that!!
I can't copy the favorite bait or find another one. It was made in the late 80s by strike king it's a buzz bait with a clear 3 blade prop out of clear plastic. I don't see any clear props on the market anymore. I still catch fish on it but I'd hate to loose it and not be able to get another one. Any help?

Seems it’s better than original 😂
Interesting do the rapala originals have silver on them or is it chrome?
They use chrome...but that process is much more complicated.
@@EngineeredAngler Cool I’m guess this is the same process they used back in WWII to silver plate? I’d like to have a few guns silver or gold plated.
@@EngineeredAngler Is it possible for you to show us how to do the chroming process?
Can we use epoxy primer as base coat on lure
Dose it leave a perfectly glassy finish? If yes then you can use it.
how do you clean your air brush?
I usually clean with water and follow up with denatured alcohol.
