If you need an idea I think a betta fish swim bait would be pretty cool
Iridescent mylar strips for the fins....that would be a sick bait
Beta fish would be awesome
I’ve been saying that too!
A marine betta, even better.
Bro what about a glow fish
I spooled it with 8 LB test mono for lighter lures, gave it some practice casts and found that it did cast well th-cam.com/users/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e , except that the anti-backlash setting had to be turned up almost all of the way to keep the "overcasts' ' down. I disassembled it, and found that if I potted some "shim washers" behind that anti-backlash magnet assembly, it got the magnets closer to the spool without rubbing, and I could get better control with about a 6 to 7 out out 10-Max setting. I also noticed that the handle shaft had some internal end play, maybe only 2 or 3 thousands of an inch, but it's still noticeable. If the anti-backlash and shaft tolerances were "tightened up" this would be a fantastic value. I've only used it for 4 days of fishing in a month's time, but I plan on keeping it.
Really enjoyed the more introspective VO to start the vid. That stenciling strat probably works better for production lures/1 day builds than something you can take your time and hand paint. For baits like this one its fine to keep the more detailed fins. Good baits catch a lot of fish, great baits catch a lot of fishermen.
Loving this! I'd love to see you try a Murray Cod lure, insane body structure and colours! Keep it up!
Caught my first white a few years ago at Lake Ozark. Hit a mess on the Osage this spring. Good fighting fish, and that was when we noticed we only had one tail fin.
wood burner stencil...That's a neat trick!
They make clear plastic sticker material for stencils on cars. It’s made to stencil flames or graphics on a car, but it’s sticky on one side and plastic. I think maybe burning hole into the plastic would be easier and it’s a sticker so easy to stick on the bait and seal itself to the bait and have a clean no overspray finish. They make it triple layer double sided too, so you could actually make your pattern, peel one side, paint the left side of the bait, then take it off peel the opposite side of the sheet and paint the other side of the bait with the exact same stencils, the sheet itself becomes a mirror image of itself when you peel the opposite side so you have a left and a right side, painting cars you want matching flames on both sides so it’s a double stencil, Good luck pal thanks for the videos.
I caught a white bass, large mouth bass, a stripped bass, and a small mouth at the tenkiller powerhouse in Oklahoma it was fun although I was trying to get a bucket full of white bass. I would absolutely love this bait
Love the eastbound and down reference 😂 longer shank hooks perhaps could produce a hookup? Anyways, another beautiful bait and awesome video!
I miss the fun facts portion. Still a great looking bait!
How am I supposed to work attentively knowing there has been a new marling baits video out since my shift started 😢
Please put a small trolling motor in the tank then u can get good shots of the action
I have carved 3 lures with a knife but I don’t have any fancy stuff to paint it does normally spray paint work and do I have to seal the wood after painting???
I have used spray paint to paint lures. I always start with white spray paint for the base coat. The trick is to hold the lure far away from the nozzle.
The first coat of paint, you want to use an extremely lite coat. Like you are just misting it with the paint. I do 2-3 coats of FLAT (ha)white. AVOID gloss or semi gloss paints for your base coats and "skin" colors. Additional layers of paint will adhere better to FLAT paints. Give plenty of time between coats for the paint layers to dry. High contrast colors will look the best as opposed to using similar colors in regard to skin tone vs. Scale color. Get you some window screen replacement roll from Home Depot, the economy window screen will work fine. I recommend using metallic paint for your scales. I would buy pearl white, gold, silver, and whatever other metallic colors you think might look like fish scales. Oh and clamps to hold the window screen tight onto your lure. The trick is that "Less is more", use ridiculously lite coats of metallic paints or the area that the window screen is covering will be covered and you will lose the effect of the scales. I usually start with Pearl White when spraying the scales and then add the different metallic colors. And I can not stress enough to hold the bait far from the nozzle of the spay can. Like nearly an arms length away. You just want a lite misting of each color.
Oh and yes you DO want to do a few coats of Clear Coat spray paint or Triple Thick Polycrylic spray works too.
@@aficionadolurecompany700 cool, thanks
Bristles for lower fins?
Can we get a one day but one of your kid decides what you make
Still waiting on the @millicanfishing collab.
We need more podcast material with you and Chelsea. You guys always crack me up. 😂
I have been following you for a while now. I’ve always been very blown away by your work. I think I will try my hand at making something. If I make a bait, can I send it to you to try out and have you give feedback? You can call it a “Fan Day!” Video rather than a “One Day!”
What a cute little lady😊
Possible tip: I use transparency film (from old school overhead projectors) and a soldering iron to make stencils that work better than paper and can be reused.
Double your split rings to get the hooks further away from the fins. It will also give them more rotation in the fight.
Yes, I have had success doing that on baits that were difficult to get hookups on, good comment.
fine line between a lure being an "art" piece and a fish catching device thank you for the work you do
White bass are some of my favs to catch so fishing with one has gotta be interesting!
Here it is some good stuff to be inspired to make my channel better! ❤
When I visited Iowa for my college roommates wedding, I stopped and fished at the same pond you fished at (the first pond with the white bass lure) and met a fellow fisherman. We chatted about you and how much we love your channel. You the GOAT my dude. 🙌
i think i’ve watched 90% of your videos. so good to have more coming. i literally have no idea about fishing or baits, i watch your videos before sleep and sooner than i know im asleep. you have a very therapeutic voice and the baits are spectacular! just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you really make my days easier.
This is more artwork than bait - amazing 🤩
Another killer looking bait Nate! As a wood bait maker myself, your videos are like motivational gold.
I got discouraged and depressed for the past three years, just started watching again, glad you’re still doing your thing. Thanks for not giving up
An umbrella rig would be a pretty cool project or a skeletonized lure!
Skeletonized lure would be cool he would make it look amazing could make it look like it's been rotting missing an eye fin could be all messed up
I have an idea for that bait, why don’t you put like one or two extra split rings on it to see if it’ll get more hook ups? Just curious to see if it actually would get smoked by a fish
This is, hands down, my favorite bait you've ever made. It's absolutely spectacular. What a freaking rig, bud.
Knowing magnets and metal...Im curious...has your hand saw ever become magnetized from rubbing it over the magnet block? Also inspired for a bait idea....in the joints what if you were to put small magnets opposing each other so the joints are magnetically pushed back...I feel like that would make a swim bait more "muscular" with it's strides....almost like using the magnets as artificial muscles to push the body back...also I absolutely love the mini lures I had got one from Walmart for $1.25 and I've caught more fish on this mini lure then I have on my $35 realistic looking swim bait....
Great idea on the magnets to make the bait "swim"!!!
That white bass looks amazing! You are one hell of an artist
An old woodworker taught me that if you grind sharp the first inch or so of teeth closest to the handle on a pull saw you'll cut straight every time. No more bouncing off line. It works. 👍🏼👍🏼
I've watched most, if not all of your videos and I keep thinking I can't be surprised by your talent. But, here I am again with my mind blown. Incredible detail!
Idea for stencil: print your fish on one of those plastic sheets made for overhead projectors (flashback to schools in the 80-90's) and then drill out the pattern or melt with the soldering iron? Should be sharper edges and the it won't soak in the paint like paper.
A White bass Swimbait is an awesome idea. I use a Saltwater Megabass Vatalian that looks like a whitebass when Whitebass are running. The big bass smash it. Your spot on about it being a forage fish, with the numbers of em that move to spawn, Predators go crazy for em.
Idea I know it’s nothing fancy like you make all the time but you should make a spook they’re one of my favorite lures and It’s a lure you could definitely make O-fishal
I can totally relate to just wanting to make the cool bait and not worrying about the camera angles and all that. It definitely is more work to video the whole build; I appreciate you taking the time to video this build and edit it. I loved it and I guess you probably enjoy the revenue too! 😀
i know you can also get oblong split rings. that could also work
I commented a few videos ago if you could make a white bass lure and I don’t know if you saw it or it was luck. I think it was pure luck.
I do the same thing with printable transparencies. Now I am up to my gills with reusable stencils 😂
When I watch your videos, I feel like I can catch fish no matter what I use.🐟
loving the voiceovers!
Just what I needed to kill the last few minutes at work. Love from Maldives
I HAVE A PLAN FOR A ONE DAY MAKE A BLUEGILL SWIMBAIT BUT YOU CAN NOT USE MORE THEN ONE POWER TOOL
You know.. out of all the ultra realistic baits you've made, I've always wondered why you haven't cracked a "fish on" joke only to reel it in and be like ohh.. that's my bait. 😂
Silicone fins and bigger hooks, and that thing would hook up just fine. I think it would be a killer for big muskie.
Beautiful job, as always.
You should make a baby pike lure to go with the baby musky
Immediately clicked the link now....onto the video
You’re the best fishing youtuber on this platform!
The initial reason I started watching your channel was the razor whittling for the first edge as you call it. Great to hear that is your favorite part!
First place lol you posted right when I got on the tube
Man, your painting/airbrushing skills are amazing.
Seeing all the work being done with big swimbaits like this, makes u appreciate the price of many of the big glide baits on the market....that is quite a skill u have.....👍
can you make a trout lure
please
also love the vids
StripBass fishing lure when ? 😋
It’s your attention to Detail that makes your Builds so, GREAT! Thanks 😊
Don’t think I’ve ever been this early
You should make a mandarin fish lure
Love the attention to detail on the sink test. I build custom spearguns and the same sink test is so important. It's all about balance. Great job Nate.
Make a Chip lure!!! Please!!!!
I thought the same thing once before but I don't think chip would make a very good fishing bait lol
Hello. I love your videos and fishing
That is a piece of Art! Sweet lure.
I can feel it.... Down in my plums 😂
36 seconds after posting
Would a glide bait be a good first lure? What's a good starting point?
A topwater walker. Simple shape. Weight in the rear bottom. Front hook dead center as a pivot point.
Whew. Been getting worried
Finally I'm first😁 dibs on next bait choice
How about a blue fragon sea slug soft plastic bait 😁
Lovely content mate👍
I’m amazed at the artistic skills you have! Each piece is a collectible treasure . You are the DaVinci of lure creators.👍🏻👏🏻
This is going to be a good day thanks for the upload Nate hope the family is well.
Craftsmanship!!!! Plain and Simple!!!! A Lesson to All !!! Take Pride I Your Craft 👍👍👍👍👍
Another work of art!! I love how your video style just sucks you in for 30 minutes without noticing!! Thank You for the videos!
I had some kombucha with cayenne pepper this week. It too, changed my life.
I do enjoy the voice over videos.
The classic chip interrupt. 😂🤣❤️❤️
Also, idk if I'd want to drink ghost pepper coffee at 5am.... I'd be walking bowlegged by 6:30 and regretting all my life choices. Lolol
Glad to see a video, as always, it's a pleasure to watch and listen to you work. Best part of my week.
Beautiful swim bait! Love your artistic abilities. This bait may work better if you made the fins out of med rubber that would give instead of Lexan? Just a thought, love your channel! Thanks!
Are you near Cedar Rapids?
If so... I hope you made it through the severe weather last Friday okay!!
I was watching the live feed from KGAN on TH-cam.
That was some scary stuff!!
Hope you are all well!!
Dont use hard plastics for fins,they are to rigid. Use soft rubber or silicone that will collapse under pressure exposing sharp Hook points. Plus fins move they are not flat solid straight. It must move like bait or fish. Fish and bait have a certain movement. Have you ever seen a fish suspended. I know you have, picture it. Whats it doing? Nothing but siting still, but its front lower fins are just Waving back and forth with little to no effort not going forward not going backwards. This is how we relax on the Couch. You could do that same lure with half or less in cost in plastic and silicone. Ok! Dont get me wrong this is a work of Art, Hand Crafted by a very skilled man. I love your work, keep on thinking, making, most of all do what you love! Oh! It will catch a Big One Someday. BW63 Peace Brother
How about replaceable soft plastic fins and tail that would not impede hook ups! Wow you need about 20 more commercials during your videos guess I will quit watching. Really did enjoy your content, not paying ScrewTube for commercial free.
Awesome video. I feel when you're (not you in particular) trying to multitask (entertain/talk + make baits), its easy to diminish the quality of the tasks. Lure making may be best when its just lure making. Talking may be best when its jus talking. Tldr; Lure making = life
1st the lure looks beautiful man!!
2nd is a question???
Why dont you use the plastics fins and make soft plastics molds that would pin in place.. therefore the lure would have more action (every fish loves more action) and would have the realistic look and feel to you and the fishes mouth. It would also make hook up ratios better because the soft plastic would easily flex out of the way when ripping them lips??? Eh? Your mold master, you can do it man, been watched you since the beginning. Soft plastic molds the pin in on some baits. Hit me back
killer
I don't make lures so this may be a dumb idea but could you mould fins from soft plastic for it so they move when a fish strikes for better hook up rates
Fantastic build with an awesome end product! Enjoyed your craftsmanship. Perhaps tease yourself with developing collapsing fins; similar to that of a hand-held fan that women use in Japan/China. When displayed out of water the fins would show full (dare I say it) erection, but when being reeled in they would collapse flat - similar to actual conditions - and they would not impede the ever-so important hoop-up ratios. 🙂
Missed a perfect opportunity there. When you said you wanted to just make a bait and not feel the pressure of a “ONE DAAYY!” Over your head.
I would’ve lost it if that got thrown in there.
You shoud have a table of densities of different king of wood. That’s makes it easier to calculate the amount of weigth the lure may need according your design including hooks rings and hangers. It is well explained st Engineered sngler. It works nicely
I love that he learns from his flaws. Now if he'll just make a floppy pink human swim bait in 2023! Let's make it O-FISH-AL!
Dad and I found Largemouth busting bait like crazy early this morning on the boat. Whopper ploppers and savage gear swimbaits were getting smoked by big fish, smallest one was about 1.5 pounds. I guarantee this swimbait would have gotten hit like a truck
Hear me out! It's not that I dislike the Voice over....
but It feels like we aren't there with you through the process with the VO, you used to glue your hands to stuff and Drop stuff on Camera,ect. It was nice being invllolved In your slice of mayhem 😊
Yes
Go for fruitier tasting peppers in the coffee, jalapeno are kind of vegetal --like bells; I'd think scotch bonnets, bird chili, thai chili, some of the really fruity special hybrids (like pineapple or peach aji) out there may also get tossed into coffee too. Cayenne is very berry-fruit tasting, almost like cherries believe it or not lol.
Another weird thing is to take dark, kind of heavy tasting coffee and brew it with a bag of earl grey tea, it's an old british thing which is surprisingly good.
Coffee fruit itself is really odd, fresh it kindof tastes like the smell of soysauce and earth mixed with cranberries.
Hey man I’m just getting into airbrushing and was wondering about paints. It seems like almost every “airbrush paint” I use is just a little too thick and I need to use a reducer. I noticed you pour straight from the bottle so I was wondering if you premix the reducer in the paint bottles or if you use a certain brand that works well? Love the videos btw, been watching for years now and your work is amazing!
When you were doing the hand thing trying to verbalize what the flat head would do, I could only think of one thing.
"Dodge,duck,dip,dive and dodge."
😂😂😂
Holy geez I was about to call the National Guard I thought something bad happened to my boy okay coffee check video check THC vape check
Also, you should try making your fins out of soft plastic. Like, have you buddy at Epic Bait Molds make you up an injection mold that is just fins. Then glue those fins into the wooden bait.
Replicate this bait with your soft plastics for fins ... that may improve hook-ups.
So quick and probably stupid question, why don't you make the fins that were preventing hook up out of silicone? Then you have the molds already made if they get ripped out by a fish or anything else and the molds probably wouldn't use up a lot of silicone so it probably wouldn't be a very material heavy thing
Love the content! I make a few lures but no for TH-cam or commercially. I had same issues with my broken back white bass. I changed over the pec and dor fins to medium blend worm blend instead of hard lexan. I use a a thin piece of plastic to wedge those fins in. Works like a champ and hookup went up exponentially. Btw yours looks way better than my lure. You had to have had to hide behind a tree to tie that thing on lol 😂.
I may be wrong but I think you'd be happier with bait balance if you did the trick Engineered Angler uses to find the volume of your bait. Then you know how much your bait will have to weigh to sink or float.
Ja, the voice over style is good. It allows you to be 100% into the kraft and then your commentary can have more info. Like the cayenne coffee, if you were focussed on working while talking would you have thought of that?
Love your work very gifted buddy and the music makes it really official keep up the great work and humor! Need that good looking wife to show her helping you out with the camera, you lucky dog dog,!! 16:38
