that is a pretty sweet idea. Now I want to see one with different color construction papers epoxied together. Love your lure and the idea. Sweet little boat too.
I really enjoyed this video the last 30 minutes just slipped by watching you create a very pretty and effective lure. The use of newspaper was a great idea, I wonder if you could build a lure using old cloth and epoxy? Your skills with the the airbrush were a joy to watch and seeing you actually catch fish with the finished article was a bonus. Thank you for retrieving the lost line and tackle, as you said we as anglers have a responsibility to look out for nature and your care of the fish you caught was exemplary, many could learn a lesson here. Thanks for posting this excellent video I stumbled on. Liked and Subscribed from a happy English angler :)
What a lovely lure made out of paper and epoxy resin. Like all you're videos you have given me another idea, so will be trying next to make a paper lure, just wish I could do paint jobs like you'res. Can you possibly direct me to some books that show me more on the art of air brushing or, better still How about writing some books on the subject, am sure they would sell well. Thank you for such informative videos I have learnt so much from you.
Micarta is pretty nice because you could almost completely hollow out the lure and make it rattle / lighten the lure how you see fit. I gotta try it too.
Just try to put a bunch of newspapers on the hook, guess it will work on that lake))) lf seriously the lure is absolutely fantastic! You have fantastic skills man. We call this golden hands growing out of right place, here in Russia! Keep on and take care, use lipgrip as well))) Thanks for the video!
Its a cool build there Mikko. Maybe if you minimized the epoxy between the sheets you could make it weight neutral or even floating. Would you be able to cut details into it with a knife, or would you be able forced to use a multitool for all details?
Very nice. That's like Micarta. I've seen knife handles done that way using denim from old pairs of jeans. very cool! One tip. When working with epoxy, even after it's cured it's still a good idea to wear gloves during sanding. Over time you can develop an allergy to the resin in the dust. it can cause some serious skin reactions. Try to prevent that if you can.
The material he made is called micarta it is the lamination of multiple layers of fabric/paper to create a useable stock. It is mostly seen in knife making for handles. But im guessing some one already told you that. Id also like to see you try and do a bluegill style bait it would be cool to see if you can copy it even though it is not a native species where you live.
Awesome video of lure making and fishing. Releasing the fish is always great idea. But just to help out these poor fishes I would recommend using so called "fish lip gripper". The idea is that injuring fish'es lip is not that big of a deal, while holding the fish by it's gills is equivalent of someone grabbing our lungs by hand.
it really depends on the type of fish, i would not do this to a salmon or a trout, pike have a "natural carying handle" and when you chin grib them like i did very little damage is done to them if you do it properly.
Yep he's done it again what next on this mind boggling lure makers list of the extraordinary things . God and Mikko only know but I will being sure to tune in great stuff from the Finish fiend .
Sorry about that back when i made this video i didnt have a clue how to clean up audio tracks. If you check out my newer stuff the audio side of things have improved quite a bit.
You are incredible, amazing skills I'm impressed every time.. It would be super cool to see the action of the lures you build. Maybe just next to the boat or something
its too bad that the water clarity is pretty horrendous currently and the action camera i use does not have the greatest image quality but you can kinda see the action little bit when i fish among the reeds around 24:46 anyway thanks for watching and checking out the video
this is cool man, ilike to make old school lures. you need a scroll and a drill press uts time in half. but with what you got you did great.. awesome work
great looking lure as always. you have shown me exactly what I need to do to copy some disconintued baits I have, thanks for the inpiration, btw what are is the type of snap you have connected to the lure, I know there are more robust snap swivals for pike/musky but I havent seen many yet !!
i use this home made coil lock that i did a video sometime ago th-cam.com/video/8Rok4GKidAo/w-d-xo.html then i just have a 40cm long 1 strand 40 lb titanium wire that i crimp to the lock and a swivel
To be honest... I was gonna leave a negative remark about how marlinbaits was better and bleh bleh, and then I waited till the end and your personality came.out in the end and i really enjoyed it. Great video over all and i feel bad about my bitterness at first.
No worries man, glad you enjoyed the video. English is not my first language so bringing out my personality does not come as easy as it might for a native English speaker, so that part is still very a much a work in progress.
золотые руки и природа. не сомневаюсь, что щука там клевала бы и на китайские воблеры, но когда на своими руками сделанный - это в двойне приятно! если бы его увидеть под водой, было бы просто супер!
from Argentina: if you put your fingers inside the guts the fish will infect and die later .. so the release is not worthing ... that's my 2 cents for the fishing men. thanks for sharing your knowledge. that was a piece of work!
I use the same kind of medical hemostat for fishing. :P Great video. I'm going to make my first homemade lure today with basswood. This seems like a great method as well.
i realized that the water was really murky and cos i painted the back black you cant really see it well in the video anyways even when there is almost no wind. anyways the lure swims very much like a norman wobbler or a crank bait.
Hi. Great lure! Some simple questions about materials. How much is the final thickness of paper-resin sheet? I suppose about 1cm, since you pair it for final size... How much is lead weight?
yeah Nate is a great lure maker for sure, i do have his address so perhaps somepoint i will actually have something worth while to send him and do a collaboration
Hello Mikko, once again greetings from Peru... this was just amazing!!!..you are Master of Masters... What a great idea to do this lure made of paper and resin. Something I was wondering is about the final weight. As you said, even though resin+paper was a sinking combination you add some additional weight. Did you weight the lure at the end? ...I ask you this, because maybe I will get your idea (with your permission) to try to do some lures to catch Corvinas. in this way, I'm going to have an option to replace my Attila Slim (which is made with stainless steel). I would like to do like a sinking Pen-lure having around 30-40gr of weight. Do you see possible? Maybe you can give a look to my video where I do my Attila slim and you can figure out what I want to do. Just to finish, I have only one thing to say: CONGRATULATIONS for your work...it is extraordinary!!! .. PS. I loved the moment when you cast for first time to try your lure and suddenly that pike attacked it...awesome... Well, let's keep in touch...bye :)
the lure ended up weighing 70g so to keep it short and simple yes im pretty sure this will work with your pen lures too. thanks for watching and always nice to hear from you Antonio ;)
@@SolarfallBaits hmmm not sure I agree, almost nobody uses them here in the UK but hopefully u don't have to use it very often. Keep the lure building and fishing videos coming though 👍🏻
bigseanSM yeah I know most guys in the UK don't use them which I find peculiar considering there is no scientific data saying that they are actually harmful to pike, not that I'm aware of anyway. only think that might happen is that pike might loose teeth or in worst case scenario get a dislocated jaw which I don't think would be even possible on the gag I use, it's very weak. I even measured the springs force once and its able to generate 1.1kg of spring force.
really really nice video and lure, but could you please work out these audio problems; the intro was only for my left ear, and the fishing part had a very annoying beeping in the background. I don´t know if this is just for me though
I dont really know how fast i did not try without any weight but i would not recoment using this method for a jerbait, you really want to have a blank that float and this one sinks without any weight.
Dude. Any ghetto trick is a good getto trick. The lure turned out awesome. I might have to try this technique. I know the proofs in the puddin', but please figure out a way to show the action. Bro I'm subbing to your channel. Big ups. Peace.
i skipped by this notification a couple times, from the title it doesnt sounds very interesting, but as usual it turned out to be a decent video, Good Job :)
it really depends alot on the water temps now that its still warmer i can get away with faster moving baits that usually sink faster too. what comes to what colors pike like i think its the same as with other species, different patters work better on different light situations, natural colors are a good medium i feel as it usually imitates what they are naturally attracted to.
You forgot to show the action of the lure here :( but i guess it was really good since you got that many fishes. And yea, i found you only now cause i got addicted to lure making videos not so long time ago :) really want to try make something myself but i feel that i need to invest so much but i cant cause thats one of the reasons to try make something (to earn, not to spend). oh well
main materials used in this video:
-news papers
-Mr. boat epoxy
-CAB coatings paints
-CAB coatings epoxy
-CAB coatings lure varnish strenght hard
-Lexan plastic for the tail lip
And what is the weight of the lead core? Thank you!
it was round 10g
stunning as always.
Where did you get those things that you drilled in the bait to attach hooks etc?
@valtteri aaltonen nimesi perusteella oletan että asut suomessa, noita silmukka ruuveja saa esim Samfishingistä, vaapputarvikkeesta tai vaikka kurre erästä
idk why but I really enjoy a fisherman who will pick up litter they cross. Awesome bait!
The pike really like that bait! Outstanding! 🎯😊👍
So satisfying when you catch fish with a self-made lure
That lure looks absolutely amazing. I hope to be even remotely as good as you one day.
I usually watch marling baits. Then I found your channel. The way you paint is amazing.
that is a pretty sweet idea. Now I want to see one with different color construction papers epoxied together. Love your lure and the idea. Sweet little boat too.

Great video! And extra ❤️❤️❤️ for cleaning up after others. I do the same whenever I encounter line, lures and other litter left by lazy fisherpeople.
Its always a good idea to gather garbage with you when ever you see them in a place where they dont belong. 😉
Beautiful lure. Fantastic job.

Awesome video as always! Love how you started showing you fish more that was a nice pike
Nice job...love it when you include some fishing.
Your craftsmanship and videos never disappoint my friend. I love watching these. Keep up the great work!
That’s very cool. Thanks for sharing. For catch and release you should remove the barb. It makes for a more challenging catch and a simple release. .
Nice semi translucent body with that paper/epoxi laminate, gave it a really good depth.
Micarta is pretty nice because you could almost completely hollow out the lure and make it rattle / lighten the lure how you see fit. I gotta try it too.
Just try to put a bunch of newspapers on the hook, guess it will work on that lake))) lf seriously the lure is absolutely fantastic! You have fantastic skills man.

I think you would be able to use a knife but it would not be ideal thats for sure, as this tends to be rather hard
Very nice. Nice craftsmanship. I like the paper layup, but wonder if paper is even necessary. Do you think just a block of the epoxy would work?
Im gonna say maybe, its hard to know for sure since i never tried it myself
Love you man!
"Let's take care of nature for a little bit".
Love the lure :) very inspirational.

At first I was skeptical but now I'm inspired!!
Nice. Hard to see lure action but it likely moves like a paddle tail. Great job, stellar painting & nice fish
I have a seperate swim test vid on my channel if your curious how it swims. The bait has pretty much like wobbler type of movement
Amazing craftsmanship and artistry! Nice work!
Yep he's done it again what next on this mind boggling lure makers list of the extraordinary things . God and Mikko only know but I will being sure to tune in great stuff from the Finish fiend .
hahah thanks for the encouraging words, sometimes i come up with good stuff too i guess.
My God I thought my tinnitus hit a new stage of fucked up... but realized it was your video

I would’ve left it how it looks at 13:45. Beautiful!
Nice work buddy but those fish are what we call slimy snakes and they all get thrown back. Beautiful work chum for sure. Your very talented.
Wow looks easy I can try. Good job 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This is so cool, If I ever get a wild hair one day I think I’ll try to make one. And nice catches!
Enjoyed watching you make and then fish your lure. I think I will try something similar but use thin cardboard
instead of paper.
Show de isca artificial artesanal.
Parabéns você e muito inteligente 🐟👏👍
Very nice job and it really catches a lot of fish. Thanks for sharing my friend.
YOU HAVE INSPIRED ME TO HAVE A GO AS IVE JUST BEEN DRAWING SOME MOCKUPS MYSELF...
wonderful, best of luck with your project
Go check out marlin baits they're both great marlin baits inspired me to start making baits just found solarbaits
Your talent is in the painting- spectacular!!!
thank you, i appriciate that
You are a true artist 👩🎨
Make a paper epoxy lure, check,do a sick paint job, check,go to the lake and slay the poor fish, check and make a awesome video, check awesome job bro
Sweet craftsmanship, loved this video!!
Your Lure is very Beautiful. If I get a chance I really want get it that. Very nice,
this is cool man, ilike to make old school lures. you need a scroll and a drill press uts time in half. but with what you got you did great.. awesome work
I like it, but would’ve liked to see how it swam and how much the lure weighed. Nice work!
The lure is 60 g and i posted a seperate swim test video after this one where you can see it better
Cool, this is also known as micarta...also good for knife handles!
Joe Barauskas ahh cool never heard of that.
Except Micarta uses phenolic resins instead of epoxy and is stronger than paper/epoxy.
I've seen micarta made with strips from old clothes too.
great looking lure as always. you have shown me exactly what I need to do to copy some disconintued baits I have, thanks for the inpiration, btw what are is the type of snap you have connected to the lure, I know there are more robust snap swivals for pike/musky but I havent seen many yet !!
i use this home made coil lock that i did a video sometime ago th-cam.com/video/8Rok4GKidAo/w-d-xo.html then i just have a 40cm long 1 strand 40 lb titanium wire that i crimp to the lock and a swivel
ok, I get it, I remember now, I thought it was a brand I hadent seen yet, but apparently it is.
У тебя талант. А талант как говорится не пропадает даром. You have talent. And talent as they say is not wasted.

I'm sorry but i have no idea what your saying, I'm not russian.
SolarBaits he would like to see him at work under water
Awesome job on the lure! Have you tried emory cloth instead of sandpaper to profile the lure?
from Argentina: if you put your fingers inside the guts the fish will infect and die later .. so the release is not worthing ... that's my 2 cents for the fishing men. thanks for sharing your knowledge. that was a piece of work!
That's the only place I see pike fishermen grab the pike is by the gils I thought it was strange too
sweet. your air brush skills are top notch
Amazing Craftsmanship, very well done :)
Where do you get those lure eyes? Do you make them too? They look great!
Absolutely amazing work! Thanks for sharing.
I use the same kind of medical hemostat for fishing. :P Great video. I'm going to make my first homemade lure today with basswood. This seems like a great method as well.
Very nice lure!
But when you started catching after the first cast you didn't show us the action of the lure. 😁
i realized that the water was really murky and cos i painted the back black you cant really see it well in the video anyways even when there is almost no wind. anyways the lure swims very much like a norman wobbler or a crank bait.
great job, but i would have printed out a coloured version of the lure to put on the outside as the first layer then you might not need to paint it
Do you use barb-less treble hooks? you got it out quickly with minimum stress to the fish :-)
the hook that i used for this bait is not barbless but i do use those when i fly fishing
Good job 👍👍 I liked it 😊
Thanks for sharing
❤ from Turkey
Отличное видео!!! Обязательно попробую повторить в своей мастерской)
Hi. Great lure! Some simple questions about materials. How much is the final thickness of paper-resin sheet? I suppose about 1cm, since you pair it for final size... How much is lead weight?
I think about the total thickness is about 2cm i did not weigh the weight i put inside but i guess it was close to 10g
Very nice. But Marling Baits all the way!!!!!! Maybe reach out and do a collaboration? One day make and fish!
yeah Nate is a great lure maker for sure, i do have his address so perhaps somepoint i will actually have something worth while to send him and do a collaboration
@@SolarfallBaits that lure right there is pretty bad ass! I bet he would feature it.
excélente idée et vidéo bien expliquée , belles prises bravo c est a essayer merci a toi
Big fan of your channel, quality is amazing but the creativity is next level 💯🙏🏼
hey thanks man i appriciate the kind words, i know i could still improve alot and thats partly what keeps me doing these videos
Maybe cook a pike is all that's left,great work.
I'm just wondering why you are finishing it with epoxy of varnish?

hello Mikko, thanks for your response.. tomorrow I will try to start the project..I will let you know how I do...
Looked interesting before the paint... wonder how well it would have worked with just some clear coat
there is only one way to find out, make one for your self and see if it will work ;)
Killer lure! i need one like this!
Really nice lure and good techniques used 😎
I see u have a gag/mouth spreader in ur boat, do u think that's necessary now?
bigseanSM was not necessary during this session but I think it's good tool to keep with you cos you never know when you might need one
@@SolarfallBaits hmmm not sure I agree, almost nobody uses them here in the UK but hopefully u don't have to use it very often. Keep the lure building and fishing videos coming though 👍🏻

I like to know what model airbrush you use with your control trigger
I used iwata highline
really really nice video and lure, but could you please work out these audio problems; the intro was only for my left ear, and the fishing part had a very annoying beeping in the background. I don´t know if this is just for me though
If you check out my latest videos those issues have been fixed :)
Great lure you have made man from papers!!!!
Awesome work and very inspiring
Great work as always! I enjoy your videos!
You are very talented. Great video!
Man, you are an artist!
The tail what you put is perfect also wich one is the road named cost thx you
Lovely video do you sell these commercially
This was just a one off but i do sell lures that i make in small quantities at ebay occationally
Awesome job, mate!
How slow does it sink without weight? I would like to make slow sinking jerkbait using this method..
I dont really know how fast i did not try without any weight but i would not recoment using this method for a jerbait, you really want to have a blank that float and this one sinks without any weight.
@@SolarfallBaits Ok, thanks for the tip. I will try with some resin or wood then.
Impressive build.😎👍
Are you Dutch cause the area we're you fished looked familiar
No im from finland
Thank you for sharing. Nice craftsmanship!
Beautiful lure!
Dude. Any ghetto trick is a good getto trick. The lure turned out awesome. I might have to try this technique. I know the proofs in the puddin', but please figure out a way to show the action. Bro I'm subbing to your channel. Big ups. Peace.
Yeah i know you cant see the action well enough on this video so There is a seperate proper swimtest video of this bait on my channel if your curious
SolarBaits I watched the other video. Thanks for the reply!
How was the action with the bill on the tail end? I couldn't see much of the action in the vid.
i did post a dedicated lure action vid after this one. so you can check it out from from my channel. thanks for watching ;)
Awesome, I'll check it out!
Could you use this in a survival situation? Not likely but supposing you had the materials in a car crash remotely. Just how strong could this be?
Tanks and Critters tough question I have to say I don't know
Nice work great fish
i skipped by this notification a couple times, from the title it doesnt sounds very interesting, but as usual it turned out to be a decent video, Good Job :)
The pike killer twenty-twenty xD
Siking or floating?
Im pretty sure i mention in the video that the lure sinks
congratulations, certainly successful project. i love catching pike or jacks as we call them in eastern north carolina usa
How fast do your lures sink when you go pike fishing? Also do pike like any specified paint patter?
it really depends alot on the water temps now that its still warmer i can get away with faster moving baits that usually sink faster too. what comes to what colors pike like i think its the same as with other species, different patters work better on different light situations, natural colors are a good medium i feel as it usually imitates what they are naturally attracted to.
Thank you for helping me out.
Well, now I think I have to put off the sign Ei, Mainoksia!
I must confess I haven't watched one of your videos in ages!
Excellent work 🎣
You forgot to show the action of the lure here :( but i guess it was really good since you got that many fishes. And yea, i found you only now cause i got addicted to lure making videos not so long time ago :) really want to try make something myself but i feel that i need to invest so much but i cant cause thats one of the reasons to try make something (to earn, not to spend). oh well
You should check out the video after this one which is dedicated to showing the action of the lure
