Tools, supplies, lures, art.. anything!
If you made it with your hands, and it's okay with you, I'd like to show your work and shout you out in a video too.
This is the only Channel on TH-cam where I will watch the full 25 Min. video 👍
For real lol
Hey! In Brazil we fish several species with hellgrammite. Here it is known as "lacrau". We collected them in our yard, beneath the smooth stones in the rocky streams of cold, crystalline waters. Right now I have a dozen of them here to go fishing tomorrow! ;) It's also considered the best bait for the Piau-Três-Pintas (Leporinus friderici), the most disputed fish in my region for its sportiness and very tasty meat. I know, technically it should be harder to do it like this, but in fact they are flatter than we can see through the photos. As I said, these larvae inhabit fast water, where they are trapped in the rocks, and they look more like a little piece of velcro brand tape than the traditional earthworm-shaped larvae as we usually know. Nice work, as always! Keep it up.
Make an eel would also be awesome, Great Video!👌🏻
You're very skilled! Your videos are really cool to watch! Strangly calming too.
6 years ago this video got me into bate making. Thanks for all your hard work. Hope you get to see this!
Octopus lure would be awesome. Great video my friend hope you have a great week and thanks for the upload.
I think a facehugger lure would be perfect.
PS a wooden or soft plastic would be amazing. I think wooden would be coolest.
I like that idea!
Make a queen xenomorph!!!!
Fuck yes
@@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258 yessssssss! Lol best ideas so far
Lmao! You had me at “ I’ll have to make the adult version” Please include all the naughty bits please!
Make multiple tadpols like a umbrella rig that would be cool!
Hey, I’m gonna start commenting your idea to hopefully get him to do it. I’m not stealing your awesome idea, I just also want to see it done!
YESSSSSSS. This was one of my suggestions. Can't take credit of course, I'm sure countless others did as well. Us smallmouth fishers know the beauty of this creature. I haven't watched the video yet because I'm finishing up this podcast first. But if you didn't slay with this lure I'm just going to go ahead and suggest you go back out again to wherever the smallies are.
I finally finished the video, i can't wait to watch you pull in some smallies. I might have to go on record and say this next video will be the most fishing action you've had. Fingers crossed, i dont want to be wrong.
Lil Queezy I’m with you bro!!!
He definitely needs to hit a spot with some nice smallmouth bass. A small creek near me has some smallies up to 3 pounds. I'm sure that lure would work like a champion there. I have used the Rebel brand hellgrammite lures in this creek and they work great. I have never tried the soft plastic baits there, but I am sure they would be fantastic.
Hello Nate, as usual greetings from Peru... what a patient and incredible work. I didn’t know the name of this larvae. HELLGRAMMITE...Some time ago a friend of mine told me about them, because he captured some under the rocks in the river shore when he went to catch some trouts in the highlands.
Given the good success, he asked me to tie a fly similar to a picture he took to one of those larvae. I did and they worked very well. Those flies are very effective. It seems trouts like them a lot.
Now that I know they are Hellgrammite, I’m gonna search for some other videos.
Thank you for sharing this sequence of particular lures that you are doing, as I told you, I really enjoy your work and I’m ready for your next video.
Congratulations, what an incredible project. A pioneering challenge with nothing to copy, nowhere for guidance and only your own problem solving and intuition to get you through it. Amazing series, I enjoyed every minute of every video.
I love your attention to detail man you’ve got some serious skills !
Amazing video Marling Baits I love you creating and making the new lure ideas Keep up the amazing work Marling Baits !!
Thanks for the great half time show. Those would work great up here on the Saint Croix for smallies.
love the facts you look up so you know why differant bits do what and how they should act, great video
good to see some turnpike troubadours making it's way up north. Im a huge texas country fan so its cool seeing people i enjoy on the internet listening to it!
When I was a kid in the 60's we used to turn over rocks in Sierra streams for Hellgrammites to bait our hooks, and we could always count on some strikes, and eventually land some nice trout with them.
Dude you don't get credit for the insane amount of workmanship that you put into every bait you make. Keep it up bro you got a bad ass talent
This may sound challenging but make a wood reel and rod for 100k in my opinion as long as you love what your doing and get a lot of sleep you should be fine
I shoulda been doing this on my bench while boat building lol. Had tons of wait time wear id usually sharpen all my chisels and planes. Shoulda been making lures haha
I really enjoy your work!
Would be the perfect hobby creating lures/baits during the winter months for fishing the rest of the year
Love the vids, and the wacky ideas.
Hellgramite yes! Thank you!
Nice job! Actually came out pretty good in the end.
Marling Baits you are my favourite Fishing TH-camr !!
a stingray with a hard center body and soft plastic wings with a jointed tail, or a wooden Bush Baby!
This is awesome! My cousins and I used to catch TONS of Catfish with these things in the Broad River in NC
Swimming nope evolves into sporadic flying nope.
My Dad and I used to go to the creek with a net and turn over rocks and catch these and crayfish in the net. Live version slay small mouth, thats cool you made a lure from them.
If you want to impress us, make a “Dark Matter” bait! Just kiddin...your work and technique are without a doubt master level lure making. 👍👍🐛
Wow. I haven't seen a pencil like that since the late 80's
I had no idea you lived in Iowa. It’s so cool to know one of my favorite TH-camrs lives so close to me😁😁
There was a loud cry under my house as i was pulling out my lawn mower, now i get all kinds of Snakes, Spiders in and around my house,, but this BIG "Thing," perched vertically looking at me from a foundation sent me running and now i know, it was a Dobsonfly! Unreal, thought i was Trippin?
You Beauty Mate.
I love all your lurre, you give me the envy to make them. I have tryed with wood but i quickly moove to 3D print but unfortunately i didn't catch anything yet. It seems that soft plastic catches more fishs.
Hmmm 🤔 make a goldfish lure. What y'all think?
That would be awesome or baby carp
That's nice
That would be a great lure
JoseCruz Tellez I say a baby watersnake because a bass would most likely gobble it down
@@jemeeladams1197 I like the baby carp idea
Noticed a couple of turds commentary on other people’s ideas and thought. “Hey you should make a turd 💩 In honor of them make it jointed!” Super lmao 😂 thanks again!
Perfect lure!
The smallies here would tear that up, good job.
Love hearing Dwight Yoakam in the background!
Whoa if I ever saw that kind of creature in my house I would freak out XD never heard of that thing , but great work!!
There are definitely hellgramites in Iowa. Jus got to a really fast moving clean river (by the dams you fish at) and turn over rocks. They make amazing bait. Eats them including big small mouths and catfish.
Been watching you awhile now, I didn't realize you from Iowa. But we definitely have them in the cedar river and wapsi.
That was a cool bait and well made awesome idea. Still hope you make a diver man bait. It would work!
Nice Lure! I'd catch tons of fish with that lure in my waters...
awesome vid, your videos are really satisfying
Nate you did it!! Awesome man. I still want you to make me one of those yellow jacket bee baits.
Bro! You did it!!!!! Yes now I’ll watch! Chip Chip, tell dada where to find them,, woof, woof, woof woof woof woof! He said they’re in the more fast moving or rapids in creeks and rivers under rocks get someone with net down stream and get wife, kid, brother, or friend to kick rocks up stream they’ll let go and float into net!! Thank you sir!!!
Meth is crazy dog
Faith Wheeler yes, crazy math to do the baits this guy does!
Robert Woods wasn’t talking to you
@@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258 bro what the hell were you trying to say in your first comment?!?
When I was a teenager, we were fishing the New River near Byllesby dam late one night when I got bit by a flying hellgrammite. A few years later, I caught my biggest Smallmouth bass on one.
Hey Marling Baits you should make a Bird Lure !! And also make a bluegill swim bait !!
That's awesome man! I know a guy from TX that would go crazy for a hellgrammite soft plastic. He is crazy about them! There is a version of it that comes in the liquid but you have to keep them in it or they dry up. And there are hard lipped versions of it (that doesn't swim well) but I have never seen a soft plastic version of it. May want to be careful who you give that mold too, or you may see it on the shelves one day. ha ha
Good work man! Love watching you work.
Awesome nice job
You’re sooooo close to 100k,Can’t wait(you’re growing faster in thousands than I’m growing in ones)
Second like from you so far
i started making baits because of you.......... thankyou!!!!!
All the fishing lures you make are so beautiful and detailed that hellgermight would work great up here in Pennsylvania
Great video man! You should make a video of your fishing setups you use
Looks good. You could use the body of the bait as a trailer for chatters, spinners, and jigs if you didn't want to make it a one piece swim bait.
Ooh ooh... dude I got it! You need to make a Pleco! I dont know if any other fish actually eat pleco but it would look badass.
Could you possibly make a snake lure amazing video I love how educational your videos are keep up the great work hope you have a great week
MudSlayer45 lol see this idea on every comment string on every video.. I even mentioned it once hahaha
@@cocorkiller2322 Ya it would be cool to see
Hi ! Nice soft lure ! Really well executed ! For the next bait, once again, i suggest a leech ! Watch it swimming and you'll be amazed ! Engorged tick needs a friend !
Awesome video. Love seeing what you make next
Wow that’s awesome
You should have Hellgies in Iowa, I think they stop there though they like rocky streams. Dobson flies do not like constant strong wind, so they do not stray too much farther west.
Awesome you catch good with that bait!!!!!!!!!!
10:08 Tennessee whiskey playing in the background, damn brings back memories
I made a 2 1/2" semi flat worm mold , not as many segments and use Black live rubber for the legs , I make black , dark grape , brown and motor oil colored hellgrammite lures , I found a 1/16 or 1/32 oz lead head works well here in NW Ohio
I actually made a Hellgrammite bait before in school we had a project to make a mold of a lure (it was a CAD/Drafting Class) and we used injection molds to make it. I wish I still had the bait and the mold though. I lost the bait while fishing and the mold is no where to be found
Yes we have them in Iowa. I see them every year in the Iowa River.
Man, that turned out awesome.
hi! ive been watching your vids for a while, and i just want to ask some things, how do you get your woods,where did you learn to make this stuff? what is a bait you are most proud of?
I like the baby bird lure idea
Love your channel . Cant stop watching it ... Can you please oneday make a peacock or centipeade lure one day please
Nate, instead of trying to mold the legs could you use thick spinnerbait skirt strands or rubber legs from the fly tying store? You could put them in the mold or pull them through the body with a big needle. They might have better action. I use barred Sillilegs on a lot of my bass flies. Love the videos!
Yes in Iowa we have them I have a stretch of river Nd. Creek that hs them ! And where ever they are the smallies are close by ! I have only seen one in the wing stage end of August dark out it attacked us really I think it was just try to land but 3 men were whipping their fishing poles round like it was a vampire bat 🤪
Laurel, Yanni lol another great lure. Your bandsaw rear bearing should be closer to the back of the blade so as soon as you add back pressure to it the bearings spins and the blade doesn't flex backwards. The side bearings should be closer too.
When you've got those extra pieces of line attached, it started looking like another remarkable insect - Scutigera coleoptrata, a flycatcher centipede.
nice Chris stapleton in the backround and i love the song Tennessee whisky
Woot woot, love you brother!!!!
Great video as always. I always wonder how you are so patient.
It's like a badass little Ned rig
Missed seeing Chip :)
You can buy a Creepy Crawler set and have all the molds pre made. It's a older toy I use to play with when I was a kid.
Make a catfish swimbait
Made one and it was definitely worth it.
Fish Boy are you going to sell them?
Love how you made the jig head separate from the body, looks juicy
I live in northern new york and I have see them here that's cool love the lure
本当に素晴らしい👏！！
会社立ち上げられるんじゃないですか！？
これからも頑張ってください！
We do have hellgrammites in IA. Great video.
Im watching Ur vids and learning french at the same 😂😂😂
Yeah there are Dobbs flies/hellgrammites in Iowa.
Great looking lure. Jigging the is not a natural presentation though. I use live rigged helgies by slipping a size 6-10 hook under the thorax collar and a small split shot about 6 inches up the line. Cast into current slightly upstream and drift it down into holes and slack area. Like nymph fishing with a fly rod. Helgies don’t swim. They crawl on the bottom and live in holes under rocks. Proper presentation will get good results with that bait. Nice work. Love your tenacity and craftsmanship.
Gana throw out the idea of a mudpuppy lure bub.. think u could make a sick mold. Would come out badass. Could even be a partial soft bait
you should show us all of the paints you use.
Make a Liopleurodon bait some time. I think it would look very cool, just like the shark. This lure turned out great too.
Hey! I suggested that in a past video! Awesome!
Very nice! keep up the great work :)
Nice! Took my suggestion. Word up to everyone that suggested the same.
You should make a xenomorph lure from Alien!! A mini xeno!^^
Yeeeessss!!!!
I forgot who said it but in the comments of your last video they said to make a catfish lure to fish the spawn so it resembles a catfish around beds
Used these bugs on my grandpa's river front property in meeker colorado.we would search for these bugs in the river and then float em down the river and catch white fish so much fun in the mid 70's
Would love to see you make a Dragon Fly in line buzz bait Plz!
Turned out to be pretty neat 👌👍
