You might want to coat that lid to prevent mold because that lid is going to get moist from the water vapour
And the exposed wood near the top, just a few coats of spar varnish would protect it.
He said it was green treated but idk if it will help the mold or not
@@robflook96 no it won’t timber is treated for termites and such not mould
Safety: Since you got little ones, it doesn't hurt to put a lock on it.
A little bleach just a cap full would also be a good idea
1. Let’s all thank Marling for his dedication. A man with kids and a wife could’ve just said “I don’t really have time to go test baits” but instead he brought the test site to him. All for us. Thank you!
2. Could you get amazing footage of the baits by turning off the lights in your garage and then putting some underwater LEDs in the tank to light the footage but eliminate glare? Food for thought.
agreed i would suggest the lights be pointed to a horizontal direction.
After watching your channel for a few years and watching this video, I have just realized I actually enjoy watching paint dry.
I agree! I’ve been watching his videos for a long time as well and your comment brought me to the same realization 🤣
It's ofishal you can now fish inside!
You should turn of light from above to avoid reflections or buy a polarized filter for your camera or do both. That we can have a better look to your tank.
Ps: Great job! ;)
I was thinking the same, but I think it was the window
Though I would say some LED strips right below the water would do some great lighting
Polarized filter would be perfect here
Very nice build Nate! You are the only person I can think of who ever built wooden baits, a wooden reel, and now a wooden pond.
Stoked about the future use of the build
maybe a pump for a stream simulator
Just a thought you probably already thought of but like a question never asked, so I suggested 🤷♂️🤷♂️
As always thanks for the content
Good to see Chip, and that he’s out of the strawberries! Love it, super supported and treated for lifetime use.
Strawberries ain't in season yet. He's biding his time & plotting his attacks.
More Chip please!
Awesome! I’m looking forward to see how that tank evolves. I recommend more indirect lighting, and water quality may become a challenge in the future, but it definitely does what you wanted it to!
You might want to make a selection of test hooks that are well dulled and rounded to avoid scratches.
As someone who takes great pride in my carpentry skills I'm honestly jealous of your precision on your drilling and cutting near perfect every time. Not just in this video but a few others I've seen as well. I was especially amazed on that video where you drilled that one bait on one and and the other end and they lined up perfectly. You werent the only one that thought that was cool..
Hearing the sped up music in the background makes these videos 20x better
For a guy in his garage, with some tools and know-how, you did a really spectacular job honestly hats off, sir. I can't wait for the Underwater camera swim bait videos.
Nice work! You are going to get a lot of use from that tank.
Have you ever made a lure that looks like your shepard? I know you made a chipmunk once, and a few other non fish lures, I think a tribute lure for your dog would be awesome.
I suggested one a few months ago! I said he needed to make one of chip!
I'm pretty sure he's already received a lure of Chip
Good first go. On Version 2: Drain Plug, Lighting, Observation/film Port, Full seal of all wood inside and out, on dimensionally stabilized building materials, a water filtration system (stagnant water is eeeeewww) and finally a lock on that lid. NOW is the winter of our ONE DAYYYYY
FINALLY!!!!! I have been asking for a test tank for sooooooooo long. Your subscribers will thank you for it!
As soon as I saw him breaking out the epoxy, I was worried he wouldn't install a drain line/plug/hole. There will 100% be a time when you need to get the water out of there, and it will be a whole lot more work and mess without that feature. Love having the lid on there though. Considering how big it is in your space, I assumed your plan was always to have it act as a work surface when not in use. Love the videos though man, looking forward to seeing you make all those lures official.
I thought the same thing, though I’m sure it’s a work in progress and we will see many upgrades along the way. Easy enough to cut a section of hose to siphon out the water, or if you are crafty with a section of pvc pipe and a heat gun you can bend the pipe into an “easy to hook on” shape and even introduce a taper in the pipe to make the siphon more efficient. Eventually a proper drain will be a must, but it would take 10 minutes to install one assuming you can make a clean hole going through the epoxy and not get any big chips/flaking.
Love seeing stuff like this!
Pumps work wonders :)
Pump or siphon
Not really a sump pump and garden hose would drain it mostly in few minutes
Nicely done! Truly Professional Bait Master.
Really serious aquarium enthusiasts will build large aquariums because it's more cost effective, they use plywood and pond shield. They use fiberglass mat in the corners for support. But the aquariums aren't completely surrounded by 2x4. And since you filled the seems, you shouldn't have any issues. Good job. I'd love an indoor pond and this is how I would make it.
The blue looks great too.
A rubber floor mat for the back wall, maybe a little bit of aquarium rocks and plastic folliage for that little bit extra.
Love it!
I'm jealous of your new testing tank! You might consider a filtration system for the water long-term. That's gonna be a bummer if all that water goes bad. Thanks for all the great videos!
It's very nice. Probably needs a small lock for the kiddo.
That water will go "bad" in 1 month. It will be all slimy. Its not fun test lures in that water. I have also water tank to test my lures, but i empty tank from water after i have done testing. And i also dont test just one lure, but multiple lures at once.
That is good! I love the testing tank/swimming pool. Maybe you should put one of those black rubber on the end wall to avoid clashing the baits there. Pretty nice, though.
Throw a simple lock on it, kids are very curious! Also a drainage hole! Love the different build video, this channel never gets boring
Hey mate, put a gopro in the tank at each end and on the side, put the side view on superview and 120fps. And the end cameras on narrow and 60fps so we can see the actions from under the water! Also coat the top of your plywood as it will soak up water and start expanding. And like others have mentioned, seal your lid to prevent as much growth as you can.
Love the fact you have this now mate! Cheers From New Zealand!
Well done! I spent four months trying to build a sustem to create a laminar current within a fish tank, in order to test crankbaits and swimbaits. My fabrication skills were not up to the task. Now I just throw my baits in the swimming pool. I should have done that in the first place.
Thanks for showing the bait marling, glad you liked it 💪
13:48 His head was found in a drivin wheel but his body never was found. MY GIRL, MY GIRL. Awesome song in the background and great build man!🤘
Nice test tank. You could go into the end closest to the wall and make an inch and a half drain port that will go right outside. That water is going to get nasty in there over time. It would also help the have a fast drain system if it develops a small leak. Then you can drain it, fix the leak and fill it back up..
I love the test tank! An underwater camera angle might be interesting!
With microphone
@@darylp4766 I like it, you could hear thr rattles of some of the internal bearings!
Loved that you’re listening to Long Whip Big America in the back ground🤘🏼
I watched you come such a long way in the last few years! Happy you finally don’t have to leave your house to test your baits, but I also hope it’s not the end of the 1 days that end in catching a fish..
That’s a hell of test tank man that’s awesome. Throw some LED light down the inside under the water to really showcase your baits.
Having built large aquarium tanks for doctor offices before that was a thing in the 1970’s we built frames and used safety glass and thick as 3/4” and 6’ wide and 5’ tall installed into a closet with the glass only showing. Lined the inside with fiberglass resin! The tanks we built that were not removed by new tenants and still in use some are over 50 years old! You could put a glass front with maybe 1/2’ safety glass and have a window to watch your lures from the side!
Viewing on action of the lures have significantly improved!
I have a former coworker who built his own aquarium out thick lexan/polycarbonate sheets. It was 8'x4'x4'. That way you can also see it from the side too.
Also consider a backyard water garden pond with fish and plants. The whole family will enjoy it.
Lighting, underwater cameras, I look forward to some amazing footage.
YES!! It's About Time!!!! Awesome Stuff!!!!
Nice clever work. No more annoying ice on the waters.
My son and I watch you every night before bed. Huge fans. May I suggest a lock for the lid for your little one running around….. they find a way into everything. Keep up the great work.
I have never been properly fishing in my entire life and here I am taking notes on “the rear end action” of a heavier swim bait. Great video
What a journey! The tank looks amazing! Good idea on the lid! That'll hopefully keep the kiddos from playing in it too!
Yes, great job. Though I would also recommend some type of lock at least until the kids get a little older.
You made a perfect tank for testing your baits,, great job
Nice job with the blue paint 🔥
You probably don’t want to sink more dough into this BUT I really like underwater cams. Maybe I’m spoiled. Love your stuff boss
Very fun build! I think you may end up wanting to install some kind of drainage valve so you can drain it for cleaning and what not. You could also get a fish tank filter and run it continuously to keep everything fresh in there.
This is so cool 👍👍👍 What a great idea. And some SICK baits too! Glass sides would make some great shots.
Hey! Very nice projekt. My idea whilst seeing your project was, to if you would make the container one fourth of the current length and if you would install a circulating water flow like in a reverse flow swimming pool. Then you could have close ups from the swim bait, as it always stays on the same position (beside the side movement)
Fast & Tight! ahhh yeah
Smart with testing on an ice rod! That's what i use when I use my bath tub to test baits.
the pond liner might a cool slip and slide for Finn. nice work.
Idk what I'm more excited for. Warm weather to hit the trout streams myself or warm weather and more videos
Well done! Great choice going with the pond shield instead of the black pond liner.
Cheers!
Two ideas for your mind, put the lights right over the tank on a seperate switch or shut the overhead lights off and use a dedicated light for no glare, and seal a pvc pipe drilled into the bottom with a garden hose valve so you can run a hose outside if you ever had to drain the tank.
This made my week Nate and its only Tuesday, great stuff.
A drain plug and plexi viewing windows would be amazing for a lure tank mark 2! In the summer you could fill it up with ice to give chip an ice bath.
Классный получился полигон для проверки ваших приманок , больше не нужно будет особенно зимой искать открытый водоём для испытаний.👍👍😎
You should put together a video on the tools you use and what you would recommend picking up for people to get into this hobby! Love your content!
Nice job Nate!!! Glad you went with blue instead of black!!! Can’t wait for the podcast!!!
I've used a trolling motor in a 55 gallon aquarium to provide flow to check a baits "Action " works great 👍 from very slow flow to burning it
Would be cool to see you test different types of wood with this new tank.
Was actually watching your paddlefish lure post again, amazing paint job as always.
I'm sure it's been said and/or you've already thought it but a GoPro in the tank to get an underwater view... Super cool non the less.. 👍👍
It’s a great day when one of your video pops up on my notifications!!
Love it! Some LEDs would look awesome too!
THAT IS AWESOME! love your channel... Keep on Keeping On!
Can't wait till you install the LED's on the inside :)
I love the video this is a super cool upgrade to your shop, two things I thought might be useful would be a camera mounted to the wall above the window dedicated to taking shots of the tank. Another is it might be a good idea to treat the water with pool chemicals so the water doesn't turn green or nothing starts living in there
I love the new tank brother also super nice quick work tank waiting for leak updates because it looks like an amazing idea for my indoor koi pond I want to build
Cool project, big thanks
Try using acrylic like a fish tank so you can see the side action on the baits
I'd love to have a big garage like yours to do my metal work, I love your videos and workspace it's something for me to work towards giving me a clear view of my own goals
6:06 had me laughing alot 😆 🤣. The whaooohah that didn't move.
Cosme out great. You could also have done a 55gallon aquarium and then put in a $30 dollar aquarium circulator which you could keep the lure stationary with a fishing line at one end and then the circulation pump would give it the running water it needs so you can see the action of the lure
This is awesome! Can’t wait to see new tests!
21:34 Rockin out to "Take This Heart of Gold" 🔥
Great addition to the shop that should be very useful, I do enjoy watching you go out and trying to catch fish though.
Just a thought you may want to consider a drain on the end incase you need to move it to park your Lambo or whatever.
Great work! Im gonna put casters and rope lights on mine. Im addicted too your channel
You need a version of theJebao SCP- crossflow wavemaker. Aquarium pump, but great for all sorts of stuff.
It essentially will let you create a sheet of water across the top. It creates a circular recirculation and would act exactly as dragging it back towards you in the water just by dropping it in.
I think it would be sick to paint and feature your marling baits signature in the inside of the tank so your underwater footage videos will include your name to your viewers. Also would accentuate that custom made look. 🤩 Good job on this project, the color and size looks perfect!
That last lure is dope
Awesome tank. Would be really neat if you could put glass in 1 end so you could set up a camera to get a straight on view of the bait.
The time has finally come, this Is a great achievement, the start of an era
I'd love to see a compilation of just all of your lures being tested. my cat enjoys watching the baits swim.
You might want to consider including an underwater camera. That underwater view would be really cool and likely very helpful to see.
all of the lures are perfect...nice..
Awesome cold water plunge tank if need be!. Cool vid
Some type of rail system for a go pro to move with the bait could be a cool way to get consistent footage since a stationary camera only captures a portion of the tank
some underwater footage of lures would be pretty cool, looking forward to seeing the tank in videos
That is crazy big!😳
If you direct a water pump through a box of drinking straws you can create laminar flow which will be useful for identifying and fine tuning specific characteristics in situ
I wish I had known about this project before it started. There’s an exultant channel that basically shows how to DIY aquariums and stuff like that. He had a series on plywood aquariums. I think it would have helped a lot and saved you some trouble, but oh well. I don’t think that thing is ever going to structurally fail. Haha
love watching different lures in action. crazy if you could make a plexi glass or glass window under the water line to get another view :D
Oh my God! Congratulations! Been waiting for this. It's official.
that black liner unpacking was funny af
Those FOF baits have awesome action
OH GOD FINALLY! I love it when I see you post!
You could put some sort of drain plug that you can hook a hose up to. Easy drain to clean and change water when needed
You should put LEDs underneath the lip so you can get a good shot without glare and still have light for it. Also, you could mount a fishing rod on the end to reel with.
That flip was graceful.
be nice to have when the summer hits , make lures and a quick dip
If you can't cast in the winter frozen lake.
You make your own winter/summer lake for bait testing, love it.
Good job , Marling Baits going to get a lot more interesting 😂
