I don't know about laughing, but i definitely heard a loud "Thump" where I'm sure MB fainted when he said baking soda and super glue is for amateurs lol
Also love how you put your baits on a gravitational roller when you're applying your epoxy that shows how much experience you actually have I've seen so many people just apply epoxy but myself I like to use a gravitational roller like you're using there because it helps the epoxy to move where it needs to move to and not just sit in one spot
I don't feel bad paying over $150 Australian dollars for 1 popper anymore...the amount of work in this is unbelievable. Just save my rage when a GT I can't stop goes under the reef. Great craftsmanship!
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!
Beautiful! I love the detailed paint schemes that you do on your lures. The blue and green on the back of that bait go really well with each other. It was cool to see you use the Canadian toonie cuz I too live in Canada 🇨🇦 keep making amazing lures👍🏽
"There's many Marling Baits fans gasping for air..." as I sit here with mouth agape. I died a little on the inside, but then I saw how easy is was to shave that Bondo off with a knife, and my faith was restored in you.
I always preferred the "split down the middle" approach to bait making. It allows for the wire to be run exactly how you want, and also allows for weight channels to be in the exact spots you want. Can even do loose lead shot so you can do rattle baits easily. We have big pike here everywhere I fish for bass with crankbaits, so through wire is just the best design when it comes to getting the odd 20lb pike. Even when it's not needed, it gives you that extra bit of confidence that your homemade bait is not going to be the weak point in the setup.
To make simple lures look so pretty is just another proof, that this is not talent or craftsmanship, but simply magic...or witchcraft...can't decide ;)
I've used both "Bondo" and CA + soda and the problem with some bondo brands is that it might shrink after some time when the bondo layer is thick, CA + soda does not shrink. Epoxy repair putty would be the optimal solution for plugging the lead holes.
You have a wonderful channel where you share your experience and wonderful lures in great detail, thank you very much! I have subscribed and I will watch your films with interers.
Dang shots across the Marling bow!!! All joking aside you and him are my favorite bait channels on TH-cam. I can only hope to make a bait as perfect as either of you!
Thats awesome to hear. Just focus on having fun with the hobby, your skills will develop while you play around with stuff. No one is a master when they start, it takes time. 😉
Great artistry mate love the finish you get . The cup for our popper can be easily made with a modified spade bit done in 30 sec ready for sanding give it a go
Haha! Great bait! As a Marling and Solar Baits fan, I take no offense from the baking soda shots! The great thing about bait making is that you can really do whatever you want with it as long as it works. I believe baking soda/ superglue method is so popular because if you are making lures, you’ll most likely have super glue on hand, and almost everyone can grab some baking soda out of their pantry without having to go out and buy bondo
I'm just poking a little fun on nate. Hes a good guy so its all just some friendly banter. Anyway i've been pretty active on the forums before facebook and instagram i've never came accross the method until i saw it in marling baits video so he could be the originator of the method
@@SolarfallBaits Baking Soda and superglue has been used for packing up the slots in guitar nuts if the top action on a guitar is too low ( a buzzing string or two ) it's been used for decades and I've used this formula myself twenty five years ago as I found it mentioned in a guitar repair book. It's used because it's dense and tough, perfect for Good sound resonance. It's tough to file so for a filler on lures I personally wouldn't want to use it unless for something that needed that extra strength, I'd prefer using bondo as you did or car body filler which is pretty much the same as two part wood filler ( smells the same and sands the same ) we used it in the wood shop where I used to work 👍
the very basic tools for shaping wood. a hack saw, rasp, a hobby knife of some sorts, some sand paper in various grits and stub nose and round nose pliers.
Never would have guess you’re Canadian for what I’d like to think are obvious reasons. But I got excited seeing that toonie for some reason (my inner patriot likely). Only to realize you’re not Canadian when you called the toonie a two dollar Canadian coin. Either way, your craftsmanship continues to impress me and have me striving for perfection in each bait in create.
@@SolarfallBaits no way! I’m in the Toronto area. Knowing you’re in Canada now, I’ll have to see when you’re selling baits etc as there would be much more reasonable shipping. If you’re also in Toronto and need someone to test a bait, or just looking for someone to take some casts with. I’m always looking for an excuse to get my line wet.
Its official! Solar baits has a great sense of humour 😆 awesome job it looks great but please loose the gloves when machining,not cool man you can't do some death metal shredding with stumps for fingers 😄
There is a colour used in dying Yak Hair called "Herring Back." It would probably take a bit of experimenting but if a guy can get it, that would be a great colour to use. I need to get an air brush set up next, would you have a suggestion? You make beautiful lures, I'm working with fewer tools but I will get there, thank you!
Do you think the trick you did with the weight using the rubber band would be practical in making smaller baits? Because my biggest problem in bait making is figuring out how, and where to weigh it
You can let the lure sit still while applying the epoxy and after you can turn on the spinner. You were stressing me out trying to paint it on while everything was spinning
I would use some other wood than pine, It's a sapwood and sap resin could start to push through the wood after you've done with your lure. Better wood for a popper would be either spanish/ western red cedar cos of their water repellent properties.
I’m actually more interested in hand carving a lure out of a much thinner limb than reducing everything to square pieces before you can even begin. But that’s me.

I glued a drill bit into a golf ball, then taped/glued sandpaper onto it. It was a large popper, so a golf ball worked pretty well! Nice work!
Absolute wizard with the airbrush... Great inspiration. Thanks.
Impressive work as always. Loved the stenciling and paint job.

Dude! That’s a gorgeous looking bait and very inspiring.
It's great that the bait is unique and has a high artistic imagination in coloring and finishing
you're welcome
AMAZING !!!
Poor Marlin Baits ........ LOL
That Popper would get eaten and crushed, 1st cast "Down Under" !!!
Brilliant Paint Work too !!!
Why’s that ?. People use jelutung for top water and it’s not much denser then balsa.
Not many videos draws my attention but yours does!!!Awesome!!!Cant stop watching!!! From South Africa, Cape Town!
Stunning popper. Children of Bodom was a nice touch too
I’m new to your Channel but your skills and products are awesome!!
Really enjoyed watching your skill in making this lure.
Thanks for watching John

You are the master. I´d love to see it in a fishing situation and how it pops on the water. That is , when the water softens up in the spring.
To make simple lures look so pretty is just another proof, that this is not talent or craftsmanship, but simply magic...or witchcraft...can't decide ;)
That paint job is incredible 👏
That maccy lure was to say the least impressive you sir are a master. I made a similar tool but used shot blasting grit and epoxy cut like b.....d.
I've used both "Bondo" and CA + soda and the problem with some bondo brands is that it might shrink after some time when the bondo layer is thick, CA + soda does not shrink. Epoxy repair putty would be the optimal solution for plugging the lead holes.
If I want to buy it for a fee, is it possible to send it to me?

Good job bro
Amazing popper lure👍👍👍
Extra ordinary popper lure master perfect 🤩

the very basic tools for shaping wood. a hack saw, rasp, a hobby knife of some sorts, some sand paper in various grits and stub nose and round nose pliers.
The work looks great as always. I wish I was that good at bait making
same i
Rest in Peace Alexi. Beutiful bait as always 👍👍
Gone too soon for sure

Trabalho espetacular , podia fazer um vídeo a falar sobre as tinas usar

There is an attachment for a drill press that acts as a wood lathe if you're interested.
I'm aware of it

Awesome work
Keep it coming your a master crafts angler please sell will buy

@@TyinAlaska i used elm for this one
The best lure 👍🏼

@@SolarfallBaits Thank you for the input!
@@SolarfallBaits you should make a tips and tricks video. I know it would be great, I learn so much watching you
That's a beauty. How much are you selling those? Thought of using poppers for a change.
I've only auctioned the one in the video, i haven't made more of these
For salt water grade wire try to go with 308L Stainless. Its over kill for salt water but that extra gaurentee is worth every penny.
Thats a good tip, thanks for the info
Beautiful as always Solar
amazing lure! and sick pukko
This lure would rock in the Canal in Mass
Do you do the airbrushing in the garage when it is cold? Or does that ruin the paint job?
I never paint in the garage
Nice lure 👍🏻 yew wood and sawdust is very toxic make sure you have your PPE
Nice work 🎣👍🏼
Have you thought about using tungsten powder for the weights mate ?. It’s safer to use then lead.
I have to look into that
very good popor friend good job
Good job 👍👍

E incredibile, sei il numero uno bravissimo, un vero artista.

Yes you have to wait maybe 5 minutes for it to harden
Very good idea...
You are very talented congratulations
Wow awesome 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
What's the brand name of the epoxy? Any link? Thanks.
Im pretty sure i mention it in the video. True coat epoxy
wonderful wonderful
do you use this lure for pike look like the size of the lures we use here for musky
