Dude!! I am so grateful I saw this!! I started airbrushing baits for fun during covid. I want to eventually develop my own glide bait line as I’m on disability after beating 2 cancers so I need something to keep me busy during the winter months! This was a huge help! Love the modeling clay idea as I don’t have a clue how to work w wood! But I thought I’d have to figure it out! Now I can do it this way, develop my lure and then maybe do a wood version when it’s time to mass produce. Thanks for this!! It made a huge difference to me!! Appreciate ya jj
this is such a brilliant idea. i’ve been considering making my own baits, but couldn’t afford to go out and buy all of the tools i’d need to do all of the wood working. I never considered making a resin bait. I feel like making a resin bait offers you *easier* options for adding rotating hook hangers and shit like that. not to mention i’ve been wanting a gill style glide, and I don’t really care for most of the ones on the market, and the ones I do like are either $100+ or never available, or both. so this is definitely an awesome option. and it helps i’ve got a hobby lobby pretty close to me. thanks for posting this video man. edit: have you ever made any soft baits? i’ve got an idea on what I want, I just have no idea how to go about making it. lol. edit2: if you want more precise paint, you can buy different caps for different types of spray paint. you can get thin caps, fat caps, and stencil caps that offer a really precise spray. just something to think about.
Hands sodwn thought you were just going to do a silicone or plastics pour without weights in these baits very detailed video good explanation for the process
Should be simple enough…I mean not to sound blunt, but seems pretty easy to me. Probably just glued in an image of an eye to the cavity any made a half sphere of clear resin, and super glued or uv resined that on top of the picture in the cavity. As for cutting the body in half like that I’m not sure though 🧐.
@@BionicBunV.1 Not to sound blunt, but He meant cutting the bait in half at angles where the joints are and adding the screws with eyelets known as screw eyes. He doesnt show that part, and in my opinion besides weighting it properly its one of the most important processes
Mike its all about do something and here you are here show to the world that..who want to creat or innovate something the result is right in your clip awesome👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻nice and big bait bud!
Great video but should do more on the mixes and why you did it or how or what for resin and microbaloons and also how you made the notches for two piece bait
I worked for dental lab it's easier to pour the mold in two pieces than cut it and it will be cleaner ..use Vaseline. or soapy water might work .works on stone molds..
I’m wanting to make my own swim and glide baits do you have anymore videos on this same subject. I hope I can make them as easy as you made it look. Great job.!!!!
Awesome video Struggling to get my lures weighted/balanced. Guess I should make one with no weight first, then play around with weights and locations with tape Then drill holes in bottom patch with water weld. Then on subsequent lures I can use sinkers on toothpicks to place them where they need to go inside the bait while resin cures Made mine with feathered treble tail-didn’t have time to make a separate tail.
I'm from Illinois near Chicago. I make $1 TINSEL jigs. Make them getto as F. But I slay the king salmon , Lakers, Steelhead, and more. Got a 14 lb Laker on it. . Its on 312fishing.
You do a very good step-by-step instructional video but you missed a step on video of how it is that you cut your mold in half your master mode the Sculpey mold can you please make a video on how it is that you separate the two halves of the master mode
Do you treat the holes left in the mold from the wires that were holding the master? Didn't see you address those. Maybe the resin doesn't escape through them?
I like the video doesnt seem to complicated so once u have a mold u can use that mold over and over again i take it what do u think it cost u to make the first one totall $
What resin are you using to cast the actual bait and do you put the screw eyes/pin and hook placement in the master mold before using the resin? Thanks in advance!
Everyone here who's interested in making eyes with household items I invented a way that is very easy and fast: buy a pack of clear thumbtacks cut the handle of the thumbtack off and keep the tip paint the broken stick part whatever color you want the eye to be bore out holes in each side of fishing lure and glue the Thumbtack heads with pupille inside of fish do this after painting clear over the eyes and it will have a in-depth effect that actually comes out looking realistic
My dad and me had talked about making our own lures then he got sick and we never got to. He passed just before Christmas '22 and he showed me this before he died and said this is the video i need to use because he said "this guy seems to know his shit". So i think im ready to see if i can do this. Just wanted to say thank you.
Ok, so I was watching a swim bait making tutorial, then someone (you) referenced it "differently", yeah that swim bait just isn't the same! But thanks for the great tutorial on making swim bait!
Dude you made this look way too easy! Lol, I just spent 10 hrs in the garage trying to get a symmetrical clay mold and still have work to do. Having a tough time getting the curves right.

Prayin for you brother. I’m gonna try and start making some as well! God bless!
That's fantastic to hear! Keep it up.
I'd defiantly buy from u
As he makes the tail, I imagine him saying "I don't got time for bills"
great action with the lure, well done
I actually had to get some custom ordered because they take so long to make
Awesome! Gonna try my hand in making some swim baits. Thanks for the tutorial!!

How did you split the bait?? Pretty important part left out for a glide bait.
Hands sodwn thought you were just going to do a silicone or plastics pour without weights in these baits very detailed video good explanation for the process
I always watch your Jon boat mods but this was what I was looking for to repeat my lures thanks for the videos, motivation, and inspiration.
I like the idea how fast the process you have made it!
How did you split the bait and make the cut outs for the eye screw things? Like...the process.
Exactly!!

nice. should use a paint brush or horse hair for tail?
Great video but should do more on the mixes and why you did it or how or what for resin and microbaloons and also how you made the notches for two piece bait
It's coming. I'm making a solid series on it.
Been looking for a video on how to make a resin bait and damn I gotta get into this. Thanks bro.
I love this video. People complicate shit too much. I want to make these and I don’t even fish as much as I should!
IMO you don’t want stainless in the joint, when the connection starts to rust a little and it starts to squeak 👌
I like your swimbait building technique, good stuff. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
How many times making the mold did it take you until you got it right?
Thanks for the cool info
I worked for dental lab it's easier to pour the mold in two pieces than cut it and it will be cleaner ..use Vaseline. or soapy water might work .works on stone molds..
Thanks
What are the tails made off? I’m currently making my first glide baits right now
Is there any way I could buy these from you? They look amazing and I could save some money on big glide baits
I’m wanting to make my own swim and glide baits do you have anymore videos on this same subject. I hope I can make them as easy as you made it look. Great job.!!!!
Yes, it's in a playlist on my channel. You can also check out our bait making group- BIG BAIT Addicts
How did you cut the clay body in half after you baked it? Thanks for the vid just missed that part
With a mini hacksaw
Awesome video

If your close on weight just add wire to your hook to get it suspend the way you want.......same with crankbaits also
This video was great! If you make another video can you focus a little more the weighting process please! Again, great video !
Great Video bro! Really nice

Also when you make your other series can you show pics of the molds and resin and show which part you use them !?
What part I use them?
The mold is good, I got a resin on Amazon, the bait looks good also, but when i tested it doesn’t float? What I need?
Micro balloons
What brand?
What do you use for ur pin going thru ur eyes?
How are you cutting the clay? Just what tool. Il figure the rest out lol
Thank you.
Do you treat the holes left in the mold from the wires that were holding the master? Didn't see you address those. Maybe the resin doesn't escape through them?
So the white stuff is resin. I wanna do that bro i have the aluminte silicone. But the white is the resin right an thats all houll need right?
what wire did you use to keep the 2 pieces together? The one that runs through the 2 screw eyes
I like the video doesnt seem to complicated so once u have a mold u can use that mold over and over again i take it what do u think it cost u to make the first one totall $
Amazing work !! Thanks for showing us!!
My brain was in innocent mode till you said that stuff... Thank You!!! 😑😒
I had too. I am going to do this and make my own
This video is awesome. I was going to use wood but not anymore.
Excellent tutorial... thanks for the tips
What resin are you using to cast the actual bait and do you put the screw eyes/pin and hook placement in the master mold before using the resin? Thanks in advance!
Awesome Bud!
Is it possible to include swiveling hook hangers as well?
I run Kevlar, but yeah.
Simple idea if you want easy patterns is shoot paint over mesh
Great looking baits brother. God bless!
great baitmaking i am going to try that soon😀
Get to it!
What I want to kno is how you got all that paint and clear coat off those windows and sliding glass door. Bet the boss was not happy. 😂
I was wondering the same 😂

would this work for making a hand pour soft plastic mold ?
Yes, but there are tricks to it and you have to be careful
Interesting , thing is , when doing fine detail, it's more for angler appeal, for personal use this is a great cheap option 👍
You’re exactly correct. I custom paint lures, and I know the lures that sell for angler appeal, and the ones that catch fish.
@@johnnyb1776 Absolutley , I started xzone lures, lots of color lol 😆
@@mjk934 No shit! I’ve fished with a few Xzone plastics. Nice baits.
Can you so how you did the weights
My dad and me had talked about making our own lures then he got sick and we never got to. He passed just before Christmas '22 and he showed me this before he died and said this is the video i need to use because he said "this guy seems to know his shit". So i think im ready to see if i can do this. Just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for watching! Sorry to hear about your father. Producing a lure for the family would be an awesome feet to achieve.
Can you provide a link to the two part resin you use? Brand
Allumilite.com
I'm wondering. Do those bailing wire holes affect anything?
bruh what dont u do. love your channel, youve taught me HELLA shit.
I try!
Any way you can make a video on making glide baits specifically?
@@TinyBoatNation how did you make the hinges?
Do u make custom baits for people
I don’t have time for that, haha.
Which epoxy cured in the sunlight ? Thanks
Aluma UV
@@TinyBoatNation thanks bro
Awesome guide thanks. Where is your wife when you are spray painting in front of the house, using her microwave and utensils etc :P
I’m not a beta male. I run my household.
Great video !!!
Absolutely Awesome video thanks for the tips.
Have you tried the paint brush tails yet?
I have not. They absorb water and throw off the baits natural movement. You have to tune your Bait specifically for those tails
how did you cut the bait?
I hope you don't use that microwave for food after that. Great vid.
Too late
how much do you charge to make me one
Ok, so I was watching a swim bait making tutorial, then someone (you) referenced it "differently", yeah that swim bait just isn't the same! But thanks for the great tutorial on making swim bait!
What size ss screw eyes did you use for reference?
Nice video. I ain’t got time for that crap either. Cuts into my fishing time! Tight lines..
You'll need all that time you'll be saving making your lures to watch the intro of this video.
awesome job
What gauge wire are you using for the pin?
16
How do you know how much micro balloon you add in?
I'll will get a video on it.
Excellent
The spray paint doesn't smell bad to the fish?
It eventually cures
What product are you making the actual baits out of?
Alumarez and micro balloons
Might be a dumb question but does anyone know how he connected the tail end to those open eyed screws?
A stainless steel metal rod. You can find them at a hardware store
I want one are they for sale
Where did you get the ss rods and what size?
Taipan Rods, 10ft. He is on FB
For the weights in the resin how many and how heavy on each size
Ok thanks I’m trying to make swimbait for the first time and it would not be possible without you and how do you cut it ?
Damn dude. Your just a jack of all trades like myself. Lol. Great job brother.
*you're
@@ebisu8824 oh thank you soooo much for that smart phone correction. What of I do without you. 👍🙄
@@offgridwhitetails8768 "What of I'd do" 👌🙄🤔

Awesome 👍😎
Where can I find the stainless rods for the middle pin? Also diameter?
@@TinyBoatNation what are they called on eBay?
Stainless wire. Just look for thicker wire.
Did u cut the joints at 45⁰ on both sides?
@@TinyBoatNation ok thanks
On a 55/45 front then rear hinges bait; Do you typically only add weight to the front main body on a hinged bait?
Or the rear tail section also?
Dude you made this look way too easy! Lol, I just spent 10 hrs in the garage trying to get a symmetrical clay mold and still have work to do. Having a tough time getting the curves right.
You can do it!
Your not supposed to heat them in a microwave you heat food in
*you're
Would you sell them ?
wow, very nice
👍👍👍👍👍
Good Stuff Thanks
