I do not speak your language. I turned to Google translator. I would like to say that your work is one of the most fantastic works I have ever seen on the Internet. Congratulations, thanks for sharing. In Brazil we have excellent places to fish, come and see.
You could try and make a normal swim bait by just putting a larg weighted hook in after you make the lure by cutting a slit and then reheating around the area so it bonds around it or by just heating up the hook and then putting it in
I would have thought you needed to rush to get the hot glue in before it cools. Thanks for this tip. You can now melt your old damaged lures into new ones.
can you plz put a stencil in the description i am looking to get into lure making and i am thinking that this is a possible first lure project. BTW great job i love your creativity and your willingness to just jump into a new project. great job.
To help you somewhat you should use sticky back paper that would emanate you having to cut it out then tracing it onto wood you only have to make one cut I hopes this helps
seems like i made a mistake there, woopsie, its cograft. this is the knife i use in case your interested www.clasohlson.com/uk/Cocraft-Snap-Off-Blade-Knives/40-8379
if you use clear stickytape and tape the template over the shaped wood you can just cut through the template & tape on lines and transfer lines as cuts onto the wood without having to cut out and trace bit by bit
I think that could work pretty well on a flatter surfaces. Bait that has contours like mine it might be tricky to get it on without any wriggles and you would have to make 2 of them for both sides. Also i have a feeling that cutting through paper and tape might not be very accurate as they might move and wringgle up when you cut through them.
@@SolarfallBaits you might be right, first thing I thought of when saw you carefully cutting out each template though. Thanks for putting out great content ✌️
Just Wow! You my friend are totally amazing & very Gifted! Beautiful work in the three videos I watched of you creations so subbed so I can watch them All ! : ) : )
You and Marling Baits are both very talented. You should do collaboration with him. I wondered if you were quoting him when you said, "be free!" Ha ha Thanks for the awesome vid. Next unusual material: HDPE (melted down milk jugs).
we have talked about several months ago but i havent been able to come up with a good collaboration lure that would be interesting for us to make or for you to watch us make. btw melting down plastic household items like bottle caps, milk jugs or soda bottles etc is not really possible as the plastic they are made from does not really like heat it seems. the few experiments i did so far ended with the plastic turning into vile smelling black goo lol
@@SolarfallBaits you have to use plastic marked hdpe or with a recycle triangle marked with a 2 in the middle. Then heat it in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius. It won't melt to a running silicone like material it will be more like a thick dough. You then need to put it in a jig and press it really hard until it cools to make surfaces smooth and to get rid of air bubbles. Use that to press blanks that you can carve like hard wood. I'm on my way to try this, my first try was ok but not good enough to upload on youtube. Maybe soon
@@SolarfallBaits I also had an idea of making a hard mold that you can have in the oven so you could just fill it with plastic and press it so you have a ready to paint lure right away
I do use a Dremel to do some of the work on mine and other small power tools. That said, it is still really fun to make a lure and actually catch fish on it. Great feeling of pride and accomplishment when you reel in that first fish! Thanks for the video (even if it is an older one). Nice thing here is that you could easily fix tooth marks and rips in the lure by heating up the torn tooth mark.
Some people are fetishists with toes, hairs. Others with ropes, leather or latex ... you are with hot glue no big deal ... Nice work !!!! Still amazed with your carving skills. Nice nice nice ;)
Nice technique for pouring with hot glue! :) I myself have been thinking how to pour with hot glue for a while now...been thinking to inject same way as soft plastics but directly from hot glue gun... BTW, "be free" is becoming a catch phrase, eh?.. koodos to Marling Baits , and Solar Baits!
Me parecen muy hermoso tus señuelos felicitaciones espero que sigas enseñando tus trabajos y que lleguen a Colombia para comprarlos y que tengan tu marca gracias
You're absolutely amazing. Could you post a link to your drawing of the lure? I would love to make this but I am terrible at drawing and could never to it. Thanks!
You said like it is normal that in this weather conditions it is normal that the fire tiger was the only one that worked but with which weather conditions do you use which colors? cause I don't know what to use in what type of weather.
It was cloudy today and I used a lure with bright colors and I caught 4 pike and 1 perch (34cm!) while I normally catch nothing or 1 pike. Thanks again for the tip.
First time watching one of your videos and I love it!! I do have a few questions I might have overlooked in the comments. Do these baits sink slow/fast or not at all? And how much do they weigh? Keep up the great crafmanship and tight lines.
Great work man! Can't believe you just cought pike with that bait! Makes you wonder if these sometimes horrendous prices like 30-40€ for a swimbait are really worth it...
Maybe it would have a better swimming action if you cut the rest of the wire at 21:18, what do you think? Just my impression, I'm sure you have more knowledge on this subject than i do. I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing them! Also, the "be free" reference from marling baits was awesome, hahaha! Edit: Greetings from Brazil!
the hot glue is pretty rigid as it is and the wire does not really have anything to do with the action as this is not a soft plastic bait whichs softness has alot to do with the action they have. I think the swimming action is pretty good, you kinda want to have that kind of lazy wobble action when waters start to cool down like they are at this time of the year hear in northern parts of Europe. The biggest impact on a semi rigid bait like this one is the weight, how much you put in and where you put it.
@@victorj.garcia9861 there is no water based paints for soft plastic painting that i know of. If it was water based it would disolve when i fished with the lures.
wow awesome video! What are those little chunks in the second part of the pouring of smooth on? Is it chunks of left over dried up smooth on that you chopped up?
I do not speak your language. I turned to Google translator. I would like to say that your work is one of the most fantastic works I have ever seen on the Internet. Congratulations, thanks for sharing. In Brazil we have excellent places to fish, come and see.
Abraços patriota.
I have been using glue gun for making baits years back,
worked like a charm but never really bothered to put so much detail in it. Great work!
Some quality content right here! Not the cheapest way to make a lure yourself, but it's as DIY as it gets, thanks for sharing your skills!
Very large, complex and thorough work, especially with regard to the detail of the scales. Thank you for showing me!
This video is so inspiring. Your patience and attention to detail is incredible. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks phil
My son is turning one this month, at his bedtime we watch your videos that is the one shows he likes.
thats pretty adorable
That it's good! You have to infect then with the pike fishing virus as young as possible! I do it with my son as well!
Amazing what you can do with some simple tools. Great job.
What a great lure from some hot glue and time and effort but the detail you carved into the mold model was amazing congratulations sir.
The carving was actually kinda basic. My other projects like swimbaits i've made are far more detailed.
In my opinion, you are a Master of lure Maker, love watching you great job..
l like your patience & calmness.
my fingers cramped up just watching you carve the scales... Nice work
Wow the craftsmanship on these lures is impeccable.
Most skillful lure making !
Very good artist. It is the best hand work with the help of knife. Thank you dear, long live.
nice lure, i like the way you use unusual materials to good effect
what an awsome rule! Like Rapala in old days :) hand made! amazing mate
Man this is just awesome! Your shows are well worth the wait!
You sir, are amazing! Thanks for sharing.... good music too
Great channel, lures, hot glue and Pike fishing, it's a no brainer for me 🙂👍
You could try and make a normal swim bait by just putting a larg weighted hook in after you make the lure by cutting a slit and then reheating around the area so it bonds around it or by just heating up the hook and then putting it in
I love it! Enough wobble with a nice belly roll. I think this would be a great trolling bait for musky.
Yeah probably would, you might have to scale it up a bit though
At 18:55 when you use the vasoline, a good idea for using it with a brush is to heat up the balm until its liquid. Makes it easier to spread evenly.
You have remarkable artistic skill.
Power to the no power tools! Outstanding lure building!
Kudos for using s human powered boat! Fun video.
34:03 Marling Baits wants his catchphrase back.
No Its mine now muahahaha
I've never watched your vids thank Marling for this recommendation
@@borealisgelidus4427 same here (you are better than marling)
@Jonathan Ortiz nice profile pic lol fax thought
@@williamselleck8165 he does try harder
@Jonathan Ortiz lol no prob
@@williamselleck8165 Equally good.
Thank you for putting in the name of the tools you use.. I was wondering what they were 👍
Respect for your handicraft, nice one.
I would have thought you needed to rush to get the hot glue in before it cools. Thanks for this tip. You can now melt your old damaged lures into new ones.
technically that would work, however the amount of temperature and time it takes to do that probably would not be very practical in the long run.
Ive done this, but yours it a lot better looking. I didnt color one , the other o just painted the top black.
vraiment superbe....un travail d orfèvre....quelle minutie...bravo et bonne continuation
nojoda!!!!! el mejor que he visto hasta ahora la técnica de escamas mas laboriosa
Great man. You gave me idea how to shorten time until season stars :)
can you plz put a stencil in the description i am looking to get into lure making and i am thinking that this is a possible first lure project. BTW great job i love your creativity and your willingness to just jump into a new project. great job.
Sorry but i dont share those
First time looking and im impressed gonna try this 2
Sup bro
Thank you very much! Excellent tutorial, keep it up!
This is amazing. Buddy youre so skilled at this.
Unbelievable handwork skills!
Is this Lure floats either sinks
It sinks.
You born artist,talent is in your blood
The BEST of the REST 👌
Amazing skills 🙌🙌
Huge respect men! 😍
Will they break in half being to stiff iam going to try this you did a nice job with the colors
Non of the ones I made did when I tested them
Your move, @MarlingBaits!
I think it would be difficult to beat the block of wood bass lure. Maybe a bar of soap?
Nice good job sir.. Watching frm California
omg, can't believe he actually carved the scales one-by-one!!! O.o
Beautiful work. Youre a very talented fellow. Thank you for the video! Its always good to see quality content👍
Let us know if hot glue lures hold up in a hot car. Nicely done. Thx for sharing ✌❤
Tamara Buxton hot glue melts around 350 I think so it should be good..don’t quote me on that though lol
Winter is coming, hot cars are not a thing for next 9 or so months in Finland. Take a hot glue stick to your car, go figure and let us know
Hot glue is a definite nono in cars here in Queensland. (as I discovered the hard way)
Nice lure Solarbaits. Thanks.
so nice can you make some lures for deep fishing freshwater like nile perch and tiger fish
Looks like allot of work😊😊
Sure, making things easy is not really my thing haha
Lol😁😁😁
To help you somewhat you should use sticky back paper that would emanate you having to cut it out then tracing it onto wood you only have to make one cut I hopes this helps
Catching any fish on a lure that you made has to feel pretty good👍
Would u be able melt and recycle water bottle caps? Pretty cool stuff 👍
I have tried it and results weren't very good. I will get it right some day though, just need to find a good way of doing that.
Good idea, but a fishing lure must be more flexible, but also, u can use silicone instead of glue 👍
The Fish didnt seem to care.
good video my friend, i have a question, the result is similar to an hard bait or a soft bait?
compliment and kiss from italy
I would say hardbait
Another great video. What whittling/carving knife you use. Googled Congraft handles, no luck. Is that strictly Euro.
seems like i made a mistake there, woopsie, its cograft. this is the knife i use in case your interested www.clasohlson.com/uk/Cocraft-Snap-Off-Blade-Knives/40-8379
Nice work there!
Any teeth damage on the lure, chipped chunks or something like that?
there is of course some damage but nothing major
Liked the music with the carving... Soothing
Thanks for checking out the video

Com silicone o nado fica bem mais real.
Maybe you should position the lead a little bit more to the rear or to the front to adjust wobling?
Beautiful job 🥰❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍
Could I possibly get to see what paint job you would be able to do on a lure using only spray cans?
you never know i might do that at somepoint

To remove the bubbles you can heat with heat gun or hair dryer something like that

Make a lure using lure varnish like you did with the hot glue the cab varnish thing
You're absolutely amazing. Could you post a link to your drawing of the lure? I would love to make this but I am terrible at drawing and could never to it. Thanks!
Excellent work. How did this lure hold up? Was is very durable?
Its surpricingly durable material
Great lure! Have you tried combining a soft plastic tail with a hard material body? Best of both worlds?
i have first of that kinda i made back in 2013 and even recently i made one that looked like this th-cam.com/video/a2IIhyfIR0g/w-d-xo.html
Good technique! I also used it for building pilks. You simply take heat consistent silicone for the lead. BTW: are you scandinavian?
Can you a video of diving version with a bib on the front ,your are a master of creation ...
i like the lures you make
You said like it is normal that in this weather conditions it is normal that the fire tiger was the only one that worked but with which weather conditions do you use which colors? cause I don't know what to use in what type of weather.
When the weather is dark brighter colors tend to work better and vise versa in bright weather toned down colors seem to work the best for pike.

@@DanielvdPoel thats great to hear 👍
With hot glue a little hard, it's better to throw the paddle tail and add a lip. It will be awesome result. A little harder than Salmo lures
Sure there are easier ways of doing things but that would not make a very interesting youtube video.

30-40bucks is pretty reasonable still i think, especially if they are hand made, for chinafantastic lures its a different story.
@@SolarfallBaits I was talking about the last ones lol
True handcrafted lures are rarely seen in regular tackleshops
Could you skip the silicone and just imprint the lure into playdoh? And then just fill with hot glue and put them together
I doubt it. But i haven't tried it so i dont know for sure.
