The planer is just to get the wood down to thickness. It doesn't do anything special. The router is used to roundover the edges. I was doing it by hand, but the results were FAR too inconsistent.
Nice baits i wish this style of thru wire would hold up for our Atlantic striper fishery.seem to tear that style up after a couple of big fish.we have to thru drill our baita
If you wouldn't mind, look up Ski Baits on Facebook and send me a message. I'd be interested in talking to you about your use case & potential changes. Thank you!
Very insightful. However, I will contend that there is a substitute for expensive tools and equipment when it comes to making professional grade baits: practice. I sure hope you are aware of the youtuber SolarBaits. If you check out his earliest videos, you can see him creating absolutely flawless baits in his apartment, using little more than a powerdrill, an exacto knife and sandpaper (and legendary finnish stubbornness, of course). However, I also admit that considering the time and effort needed to reach this level, its probably a better idea to just buy the tools! 😁
Oh, I completely agree. But if the intention is to make baits for sale, very few customers are going to be willing to pay for your patience. If you're making them for your own use, then by all means, whatever works for you.
I appreciate your concern, but I have little interest in placating the politically correct masses. I, and the products I make, are not everyone's cup of tea - and you know what? That's OK. But I am not going to stop being who I am in the interest of chasing a dollar. "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not", as the saying goes. Thank you for watching, and I hope that despite your criticism, you found the video informative. Tight lines!
@@RealLifeFishingWI hi there. I too appreciate your return comment. I am the least politically correct guy out there. The comment was not meant to be like the usual, jump all over a guy for some comment he made. I guess I see myself as a working stiff, as we all are, and I also am forced to shop Walmart more than I want to. I know there are some different, even weird folk all over. I don’t care what you believe, honestly. The thing is, you are representing yourself as a business man. You are your best advert for your products. It seemed you would rather lump me and others without knowing me. I came to your site to see what you have to offer. If you just state outright for no reason that you think low of a group of folk, can you not see how that is? It isn’t about being allowed to be who you are. Far from that. It just exposes something about you that maybe you might want to reconsider. Like you said, it is your business. If you think it is better for business to express those kinds of thoughts well then I would never want to hinder you. But I think you may find there are a great many folk who will not really appreciate it. All the best to you.
I appreciate your insightful point of view. I am most definitely a "working stiff", as you say, and given geographical limitations and immediacy of need, I too find myself there more frequently than I might otherwise like. If you need a definition for "Walmart people", I'm sure you've seen them as well - they go out in public wearing plaid pajamas with holes in... Uncomfortable locations, they wear slippers - in winter, and the show a complete and utter disregard for anything remotely resembling social decorum. The fact that society chooses to coddle them and enable this type of behavior will only further the slide of what atrocious behavior becomes acceptable next. I may be only one man, but I for one will stand on principle (if nothing else) and will not let people believe that I think it's OK - even if that belief is only implied. Because I don't. That said, someone's socio-economic standing has little bearing on their behavior and respect for those around them. To that end, "Walmart people" may be a stereotype, but aren't all stereotypes rooted in truth?
@@RealLifeFishingWI I have to agree that there has been a great slide in humanity. I understand better what you mean, and appreciate you taking the time. I am disturbed by the lack of morals and manners. It seems as though the liberal side has willingly accepted degradation of people as the status quo. I get what you mean about the way some have no regard for others when they leave their homes in a shocking manner. I see it is not a prejudicial viewpoint, but rather a regard for simple decency. Thanks for clarifying. Regards, Cam

Great info for beginning bait maker. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
Can you make a video of how you use the routing table and planner to make musky lures?
The planer is just to get the wood down to thickness. It doesn't do anything special. The router is used to roundover the edges. I was doing it by hand, but the results were FAR too inconsistent.

Walmart people? Who are they? That won’t bode well for your business.
