Your methods of transferring pattern to the foil tape is brilliant! Well done... this is the first video of yours I have watched, and I will certainly be watching more.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
And a new TH-cam Lure King is crowned. Congrats. The old king isnt even close.
You are too kind! Seriously, thank you for your support!
This has got to be the tenth or more time of watching this video and I am still amazed by the transformation that the final topcoat has on the lure! I guess I will be back again lol. Thank you for sharing your video, take care my friend 👍😷👍🏴
Thank you very much for your support, I really do appreciate it!
I have been making my own lures since the mid 70s. We fished for Walleyes and Yellow Perch. Now I have moved to Florida and it's a different game. I will have to learn how to make Bass lures. I have found the right teacher. Great job.....Bill
Thank you very much, I really appreciate that!
omg, your popper lures are GORGEOUS
Thank you so much!
Loved the talk about whittling when you were a kid, and the skills coming to be useful today! I definitely agree!
Absolutely! I've also been teaching my son to whittle lately.
Yeah I'm 14 and I still carve lures and stuff
That lure is awesome
Thank you very much!
I found a nice little trick for placing the eyes. Clip the cotton off the end of a q-tip and glue a small piece of masking tape to it and trim the excess tape around the tip. It holds the eye pretty well so it can be placed accurately.
Thanks for the great vids!
Great idea, thanks for watching!
Wonderful amazing. Very nice.
Thank you very much!
I enjoyed the stories they remind me of my upbringing.
Thanks for watching!
I came here after watching all of Marling Baits videos, the bar for bait making content was set high and you blew past it, I love how you teach while you go and how calm and quiet it is. I subscribed and will be watching all your videos haha.
Thank you Daniel for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
This guy has more skill and is more instructional but not nearly as entertaining as Marling Baits, found myself waiting for him to be funny lol
@@DaveGeelong There's nothin funny bout lure makin...its serious business. Ha! Thanks for watching!
Same as you Daniel!
I agree, I found the channel a few weeks ago, he is very calm and is teaching us while hands on lure making.
I feel the same way about skills you learn as a kid. You always end up going back to the basics. I love whittling. Even if I'm not trying to make anything.
So true, thanks!
Серьезная профессиональная работа и замечательный подробный фильм! Большое спасибо!!!
Thank you very much!
Thank you very much beautiful video
Thank you, I appreciate it!
100% Goldfish! I learned a lot. Thanks for a great vid!
You are very welcome, thank you for watching!
A little tiny ball of Blu Tack applied to the end of anything thin like a Q tip with the cotton cut off makes picking up the eyes easy every time. Easy does it because it holds Good. Nice lure and thanks for showing us how you like to do it 👍
Thanks for the tip and for watching!
bro i watch your videos over and over. you are a very beautiful person
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
I fished the Conejos river in Colorado, staying at a cabin community someone i knew parents owned. i remember never catching anything, but was amazed how fast that water was.
Yes, I've fished the Conejos my whole life and there are plenty of trips I caught nothing. From what we were told, whirling disease got pretty bad there so they stopped stocking it. I saw plenty of fish on that last trip we took which was encouraging.
Thanks
You are gifted great job I've enjoyed watching God bless
Thank you very much!
МАСТЕР своего дела!!!
Восхищаюсь Вашей работой!
Thank you very much for your support!
Please use a vice for the drilling. It makes me nervous...I drilled in my finger once. Went through the glove and I was cutting into steel so I had to clean the shavings out. Anyways just don't want you to get hurt.
Thanks Dustin, I'll be very careful! I appreciate your support!
Making a Wooden Lipless Crankbait / Great video. i love it , stay connected thank you 👏❤️😍
Many thanks!
Man this is great ! I just finished whittling out my second ever lure today . My first is a top water popper and the second is a jitterbug lure. They’re crude and painted with rattle can paint but it’s a great feeling to make something with just a pocket knife and some time. Thanks for the great video I’m inspired to get better at it.
Glad to hear from you. Best of luck with your lure making. Thanks for watching!
عمل جيد جدا ومتقن في منتهي الروعه ومموه جدا
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
Take a picture of your lures and put color ones on tee shirt and a nice logo that will do the trick for me !!!!!!!!!
Great suggestion!
Muy bonito excelente señuelos
Thank you!
Nice idea with the foil
Thanks, it really gives it a shine that is hard to replicate with paint.
Hi, it’s impressive the way that sunbrite yellow came out on the aluminum, I have to make a golden shiner. Thanks
You bet, I am very happy with that effect. Good luck with your golden shiner!

Helpful tip. Cut a toothpick in half with a razor, put your glue on a peice of trash hard plastic then use the toothpick to apply the glue to the lure. It will put a perfect little dot of glue for the eyes. Beautiful lures man!!
Thanks for the tip and for watching!
tremendo señuelo !!!! excelente trabajo saludos desde argentina
Thank you!
Nice work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Very nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
That's a awesome looking lure
Thanks, I appreciate it!

I would like to experiment and try to carve a few fish lures to give to my grandsons with my and their names on them. I like your technique and especially your logo idea so I can print it. I was already brainstorming how to a "WHAM" u showed it. LOL..Really Many Thanks for sharing.

To get better control over the glue for the eye use Disposable Pre-Bent Dispenser Needle Tips
Thanks for the tip and for watching!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Great idea 👌 I think I might have to make myself a set, I'm damn sick of my lures slipping around in my vice and if I do it up to tight it dings the wood.looks like a great solution to the problem 👌 great job as always mate 👍😁
Yes, I got by for a long time with duct tape, but I finally got around to a more permanent solution. Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. Great video! Thank you! Some great tips and ideas. I promise I won’t tell anyone about the foil. 🤣
Tuning in from Adelaide, South Australia. 👍

Tebrikler.Elinize emeğinize sağlık
Thank you!
Excellent from start to finish! I like your drying rack too. Great lesson in lure making. You just got another subscriber.
Thank you so much, I appreciate it!
incredible... I doff my cap to you Sir!!
Thank you sir, I do appreciate it!
I’ve done several “pull out” test but always seems to fail.
And I have the kids to prove it!
It appears your eye package is an assortment of sizes. That would be handy. Where did you get them? Also, if you said what your clear coat is I missed it. I think it’s some type two part epoxy, but not sure
Your workmanship is outstanding. Thanks.
I found those eyes on Amazon. I actually don't remember what clearcoat I was using at the time, but I reccomend either East Coast Resin or TrueCoat which are both 2-part epoxies. I have links to most of the products I use on my website:

Thanks for watching and for your support!
Learned a lot. Thanks. Excellent craftsmanship.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
Id like to do this as a hobby in the future
It is very satisfying to catch a fish on a lure you made. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations for your videos and your Channel. I was wondering if you can do a vidio whith the real way of paint lures. I mean, I don’t want to say your videos are not real, what I mean is if you can splain times of wait between surface and surface of Color, how you clean the airbrush when change the colors and this tipe of things that are a big questions for the new People in airbrush world. I know it is more a airbrush lesson them a lure make But at list for me would result really interesting. Really grateful from Spain. And sorry for my english.
Thank you for watching my videos! That is a great suggestion! I do not know how long it will take me to make it, but I will add it to my list of ideas.
Excellent!
Many thanks!
try using an extra thick version of super glue for the eye. it makes it easier.
Yes it is! It took me a while, but I finally got some. Thanks for watching!
excelente hasta Gardel tubo contras 😀
Thanks!
Excelent, nice lure!

Great job cool looking lure. Try using the gel super glue for the eyes use to have the same problem with eyes as you, until I started using the gel glue worked really good. Again.great work
Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
What type of wood do you prefer to make your lures out of? I’m thinking about attempting to make my own lipless crank bait…
Right now, my favorite wood is basswood because it's easy to carve & holds detail well.
Subscribing just by looking at the thumbnails 😍 what's wrong with You Tube they didn't propose any of the video before 🤯 now seat down relax and watch all the videos 👌🥃🍿
Thanks for subbing!
Pleeeease keep the videos coming, thanks for sharing this awesome content
I will do my best, thank you for your support!
You need the spiders ,whopper poppers, and snakes as well they work amazing
Thanks for your input, I do have a long list of lures to make. Hopefully I can get to them all.
Hi there love the carving skills. I have just got into making some lures myself, only started a few months ago and really enjoying it. One thing i noticed was your hands are scar free. Mine after a few weeks look like i been ten rounds with Freddy Krueger. Anyhow practice makes perfect as they say. Going to give this one a try for sure. Great video.
Thank you for watching! I've been carving since I was a kid and have cut myself plenty of times. These days I try to be more careful. I'm happy to hear you are giving this a try. Good luck on your lure making journey!
@@zimmtex how much are these lures like this one.its beautiful

Impressive! I’d love to get into lure making.
Careful, its addicting. Thanks for watching!
good
Thanks!
19mins01 ==> Hell yeah!!
Well made!
Thanks!
Very informative, You really stressed out with the glue ,IDK if this will help but if you put a smidge of glue on a toothpick then toothpick the backing of the eye you just have to drop the eye in place and you'll use much less glue. Also a louva might be easier to manage instead of wrapping with screen. You make an awesome lure.. ps if you wet area on lure before applying decal it will slide easier to desired spot
Thanks for your tips! I am always trying new ways of doing things. If you check out my new video coming out on Thursday, you will see I am using the toothpick method you are talking about. Thanks for watching!
beauty
Thanks!
You dA man
Thanks!

Thank you!

Have you ever added spinner blades to your lures ???????
I have not, but I've been thinking about a new design that has one.
May I ask you a question please!... Is the ink indelible ink?
Yes I'm still finding this video amazing lol, must be in it's 30's that I've viewed it!!! Plus your other video of the larger version of lure👍😷👍🏴
According to the manufacturer, this ink is indelible. Thank you so much for your support!
What do you print the Decals with, Lazer or Inject? At what DPI?
Have you used the UV/Blacklight paints on your lures yet, I've just bought the green... Not seen anything like it before, ordering more colour's now I know they really light up. Not like the stuff that lasts for a few seconds after charging them with a torch!!! It dries clear so can be used on top of any colour, I've only tried on white and light colours... But it GLOWS unbelievably.
During research they have found out that fish are really sensitive to the UV, that's why CHARTREUSE works so well! I've not seen anyone on TH-cam use it on lures! I just thought that you of all people would make an excellent video of the UV paints.
Sorry, I am just now seeing your message. I print my decals with an inkjet printer at 300dpi, but they do have laser paper as well. You are right, I have not seen a lot of blacklight paints on lures. That's interesting, I did not know that fish were that sensitive to UV. Thank your for the suggestion, I will add that to my list!
Продолжай в том же духе
Thank you!
hello great video.....but what do you use to pour the lead?
Thank you! I use a Lee Precision lead pot. I have links to most of the stuff I use on my website: www.zimmtexlures.com/productlinks
You have a new sub!
Welcome Travis, glad to have you here!
where can i buy one??? lov them so much down to the carvings foil tape paint sealant so much time no wonder they are expensive!!
Thanks Cody! I don't currently have any lures for sale but I will definately let you know if that changes. Thank you for your interest!
Wow man that was really good, well done it looks awesome
Thanks!
The Engineered Angler did a test and 5 minute epoxy beat super glue easily. I use gorilla (Urethane glue) on some of mine because it expands. What wood did you use? Excellant job!!
For this test, I used 30 minute epoxy. Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support!
Nice job well done
Thanks!
what kind of wood are you using here? Thanks
great job
Poplar, thanks for watching!
