Yes Sir Amen, What an Excellent color for a Buzzbait, Loved the Video, You’re Awesome, Thanks for What You Do
Thanks Douglas! Truly appreciated! Soli Deo Gloria 🙏🙏
That large black flake looked way better than I thought it would. I think that would look awesome with a lighter green to look like a leopard frog. Awesome video
Thanks man!! Yeah, I would revise that recipe and pull the Pump/WM down to about 15 next time… really get more of the WM vibe going. 👍👍 Big flake worked out nice!
Great Video. Love that orange color. Thank you for sharing your prayers with us! 🙏🏻
Soli Deo Gloria! 🙏🙏
Loved that orange as well - absolute dynamite color!
Look at that bundle of deliciousness...nice work Adam....as always!!!!!!
She was a beeeee-ute! Thank ya much!
As a fellow bait maker I appreciate your craftsmanship and your message. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure! Glad you’re enjoying the content!
You definitely showed your mastery of flake and color combos. The bass thought the same as well. Be blessed. My friend.
It was a successful one - always nice to be rewarded! Thanks for coming along!
A little bit of super glue on the keeper when you push the trailer on, and another drop right at where the hook exits the bait will make them last a long time!
Great looking build. Soli Deo Gloria!
Yes indeed, I thought that as well after the first few went to pot, LOL! I need to just start carrying some in the bag - ya never know when you’ll need it! Thanks for watching! Soli Deo Gloria indeed!
Love your channel and love the Prayer. Thank you.
Thanks man, glad you enjoy it!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Awesome! Dude, that big glitter is perfect for frogs and salamanders. Great idea. Thanks again.
Glad you liked it Glenn! It’s always rewarding when an idea works out!
Awesome frogs. That extra large flake really does lend itself to a frog well.
I thought so too! Looking back one more quick stir may have suspended it better right before the shot… spreads it out better in the baits, but that may also just be me nit pickin :) Thanks for watching my friend!
Everything in nature has a random pattern. That large flake was awesome in the frogs. I can finally contribute something 😂. I love to use clackers on my buzz frogs but I also fish a lot of dirty water down here.
Glad you liked it! Clacker is a good call - I winder if they make them in various sizes? Would need a downsized one for this size wire form. I may have to look!
Love the big black flake!❤i use something simular for a trouwens patern. And i really love the fishing part in the vid. Cool!!❤❤❤❤
Awesome, thanks! The big flake worked out on this one! I don't use it often but when the bait is right it can really do the trick!
Good fish my friend but best of all great prayer. I hope you and your's are all well. God Bless.
Thx Gary, truly appreciated!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Really good color, Adam !
Appreciate that Guy!
Looks great Adam, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching Rich!
Man that Apricot with the orange hologram flakes would be an unbelievable fluke color for flukes. Redfish would eat that up! That second bass hit was cool.
I was thinking a bluegill belly paddle tail. But I’m a freshwater guy up in MN. It’s a great color!
100%! First time using Apricot and it did not disappoint!
Killer application as well! Apricot in that same Gourd… I bet that would be tasty! Gourd may well be my new favorite orange, dynamite pigment!
Thanks Adam
Sure thing Matt, thanks for watching!
They look awesome! Very nice!
Thank ya much!
Amen!
Soli Deo Gloria 🙏🙏
Man, you are probably in the top 3 soft lure making channels on TH-cam, very good quality videos, and you are always genuinely enthusiastic about your work! Keep on going!
P.s. for a second I thought you'd have taken out the triple injector! 🤪
Man, I really appreciate that - humbled and grateful that you’re enjoying the builds!
Awesome video! You made me just buy both of those colors from Lureworks!! Awesome stuff!!!
Good stuff, thanks man! I’d reduce the saturation a bit in the Pump/WM next time… my 1/2 test before the video mislead me a bit, LOL. I get 15 is right on to get more of the WM to show. But that Gourd… holy cow, what a color. Definitely my favorite orange thus far… like hands down!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft That's so weird because I've looked at Gourd before on the Lureworks website but it looks YELLOW on the website. I guess that's why the color demo series is so valuable. Thanks again brother!!!
Down here in Central Florida the really good buzz bait action starts around the beginning off October, nicely done 👍
I got a couple buddies killing it on buzz baits now. Sadly I'm not good/great with a buzz bait.....
Yet.
Sounds awesome! Florida in October - I bet it’s just about perfect
Chuck N Wind!
Amazing work as usual!
Thank ya sir! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looking good
Thank ya much!
Love the Buzz-Keel molds!! I use the 3/8oz ones quite a bit. Great video as usual and nice catches 🤙
Thx man! It was a toss up for sure… 3/8 or 1/4 - I knew both would be close to what I wanted, but that darn 1/8 for river smallies just looked too good, so I opted for the smaller. I got some 3/8 0.050 wire forms in, filed out the channel a bit, so hopefully the 1/4 “swims” as well with the big blade!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft I have no self control and bought both molds lol. The smaller ones work really well but I havnt tried with the bigger blade on them. Just a little tuning of the top wire and you can get them to run straight and true
Tip!!!! I do t think anyone has done a video on!!! For that mold… if you pour enough of them? It gets old cutting the wire form. I figured out where my wire keeps hitting at on the mold. Put it under my drill press and just took enough off on each side of the mold to match the rest of the indent for the wire. Caution!! Only drill out what you need to. Because then your wire form might be able to move a little more in the cavity (gravity). Then No more cutting the wire every time you pour.
Yup, definitely an option!
Good thing about making your own baits is you can re-melt them and go again
Very true! 👍👍
Amen.
🙏🙏
Another great video my fellow Adam. Just fished a smallmouth tournament yesterday.. 98 degrees, with heat under it got about 104-105... but the bite was great early... caught a situation 21 inch (5+ lb) smalljaw to start the day on top water, sadly not a buzz bait... not my strong suit
Still a win, congrats man! That’s a beast of a smallie!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft appreciate it. I think we both know who caught that fish. I happen to be there at the right time. Heckuva fish to experience a catch for sure . Thanks for all you do sir.
@@adwhite804 yes indeed :)
Great looking build. Really like the color of the bottom. Do you k ow why they can’t cut the wire forms to fit the mold? I actually stopped pouring the buzz keel because it was frustrating to have to cut every wire form. Love the way they run though. Love your videos brother!
No idea why the forms come like that, super weird, I agree. Small price to pay for a nice rig I suppose. Totally agree on the belly color - that Gourd was next level good! Thanks for watching my friend!
Heeeyyyy! I got the same SNAILTRAIL scale . Weird, guess most Adam's think alike
LOL, indeed! I love that thing, especially the ability to lock in and log multiple fish. Very cool!
I would love some frogs in that green and stick baits same falake size be interesting in worms
With the 1/8 you should be able to thread the frog over the lead body
Yes sir, that would be killer stick bait combo!
I bet so, totally envelope it with the frog!
@SDGCustomLurecraft 💯 and or swimbait when ther busting on bait
I have a question or a challenge. I pour my own jigs and modify my molds as well. I’ve been trying to come up with a way to get a bigger flat head screw type skirt collar on one of the old molds that has the small ball skirt collar. I like the way the bigger taller skirt collar helps the skirt puff out more. I’ve used a Dremel and made the ball style collar bigger before. Just curious about making the reverse flat head screw skirt keeper. I have some ideas but have not dove into it yet.
I suppose you can do just about anything with enough patience and a dremel!
That was a # Freek’n Kewl Build 🤙
Yeah baby!!
Cool video. What blade size did you get. The small or larger one
Thanks man! The 1/4oz take a C, I believe. The 1/8 takes an E… normal, large size is an A, it’s the one in between.
Can I ask where you get your lead from. After watching your channel I think I would like to make some stuff for fun fishing.
Sure thing! I found my current lead on Etsy. Its been pretty good. Not as clean as other stuff I've used, but FAR better than some bigger online names that sent me garbage.
@@SDGCustomLurecraft not to be stupid but never doing this how do I know what lead to buy? Didn’t realize there were so many options Lol
@@michaelbarbieri9871 not stupid at all my friend! Look for “clean, pure, soft” lead. Some will say “twice cleaned” which is a plus. Pure just means it’s not mixed with tin or other stuff. Soft is similar to pure… no hardener metals added. The pictures of the lead should show nice, silver bricks. If it’s off-color, almost like a rust color, it will has impurities and (in my experience) make a mess of your lead pot. Hope that helps!
@@SDGCustomLurecraft it does. Thank you so much. Absolutely love your channel.
Who put that camera and tripod right in the way 😂😅
Boneheads, I tell ya!
💞Wow🧡🧡🧡🧡💜💜🧡💜
Thanks! 🙏🙏
Trouwens = TROUT. Sorry, autocorrect in Dutch😂
LOL, gotta love it :)
