Thanks for making this video. Making my fist now. It looks great, used a foil tape for scales. Can’t wait to try it. Will be targeting musky at cave run lake in KY, USA.
thanks bro.you make beautiful lures.i make some out of surf foam and works pretty good.just if a big fish bites the foam explodes into pieces.even with strong epoxys.
Thanks, great tutorial best i've seen yet and i have watched a few! i'm thinking of making a pine GT popper so mine will be different but it's good to see how people make them. Pitty everything is so expensive in Australia.
+Daniel Kontor Hi daniel. Glad you liked my video. Not knowing much about GT i think that they will be able to damage even pine. You could consider even harder wood or to cast them in plastic (Polyurethane resin). that can really take some teeth without being damaged. Try to have a look at this movie: th-cam.com/video/kbCk_Mwertw/w-d-xo.html Good luck with the project
thanks for replying! yes i agree but i don't have access to many tools now I no longer live with my parents and i thought pine is a good place to start! never used plastic before and i don't even know where i could get resin of any kind without selling a body part!
+Daniel Kontor He he - Dont think any baits are worth a body part. Use pine and take the scars on your bait as proof that it is working. They can easily be patched up with a few drops of epoxy.
Brilliant video the details on how to make them and and the photography is excellent, i have subscribed keep the video's coming ; one question is will we ever see you lures on sale i think they would do very well. Mike from the UK

Hello Jorgen Greetings from Peru!!! ... I watched some of your videos and I like them a lot... you are very creative, tidy and organized...congratulations for your work...I like to do my own lures as well, I found it as a very passionate hobby. Here, it is very rare to find an angler who do its own lures... Would you please tell me what was that liquid that you mixed with the epoxy in your danish version???. Also you talked about the hardness of the epoxy you use, would you please give me a little more of details of what are you using? Thanks in advance and have a safe fishing...Antonio
Hi Antonio Thanks, i am happy that you like the video and that it has inspired you to do your own. I think that the hobby of doing your own fishing vary a lot from country to country. To me its is a hobby on its own. This liquid in the danish movie is alcohol, but i dont use that with the Envirorex epoxy as i seems to work fine without it. The full name of the EnviroTex epoxy is: "EnviroTex Lite Pour-On High Gloss Epoxy". You should be able to find that on the net. Hope this was helpfull Jorgen
Hi Gavin. I make all stencils by myself. Quite easy - just find a piece of plastic a cut the desired pattern into it.

Hello! I very much enjoy watching your tutorials and have learnt a great deal from them. Thank you tremendously for your dedication to lure making and for sharing your knowledge with the world. I do have a question to ask of you. Balsa wood is not available in my neck of the woods, do you have any recommendations on alternate wood types that I can use to substitute?
Thanks for the kind words. You can use almost any kind of wood. The advantage with balsa is that it is very light and easy to shape. If you havent tried, the look for shops that sell materials for model airplanes and ships. They use balsa for that. Otherwise pick any kind of wood thats available, and you will just have to adjust the amount of weight if you folow my plan. Good luck
Love your techniques. How about to make a "diver"? Everybody is just making gliders. But also divers are great for pike-fishing. Like the Suick or other classics.

Hello Jorgen from sunny Stockhom!Great video sir, I am very new to the lure building scene but since I live not too far from you I could ask where you buy your certain materials, namely the "Pour on epoxy" and the straight wire to make the internal wire form as well as the lead weights. I have everything else but these three items are eluding me. Please help!
+Ross Seward Hi Ross. I purchased the pour on Epoxy on E-Bay from UK, but i know there are shops in Sweden that sells an product like it under the brand C&W Lure Epoxy. The wire comes from www.bleigussformen.de, but you can use stainless welding wire as well. I make my own lead weights with lead from a company the purchases and recycle old metal. Locate one of those a see if they have some. Hope this was helpfull. /Jorgen
Hi I know it's an old vide I had this pdf years ago and have misplaced it. The link doesn't work is it possible for you to put a link up again please for the jerk pdf. Thanks
Really Great videos! Ive just started making ny own jerkbaits, similar to urs but slightly bigger. I wonder if there is any specific formula to calculate how much weight i should use? Very thankful for ur answer. /hannes
I don't think that there is an easier way than putting them in water and see how much they can carry. Especially with wood there are too many variables to make an useable formula. Even the same type of wod has different density, and with cutting and sanding the bait will have slightly different size each time
@@SplishSplashFishing okay, sorry for asking so silly questions but should i put on o layer with epoxy before i put the wood in water? Im using balsa...
@@hannestornkvist2628 Not a stupid question at all. Yes it would be a good idea to seal the wood before you drop them in water. The wood won't be damaged, but will have to dry a while before you can paint it. Mayby you can find a varnis that dries a bit quicker than epoxy for that layer
using other wood such as white cedar, or other non sappy ( as in pine ) soft woods native to your region, would allow you to make a more neutral buoyancy bait "slow sink" without using a lot of weight that would reduce the action of those want to make that type of jerk bait.. just a thought :)
I'm aware the harder and heavier wood would have some advantages, but also disadvantages. The bait would be much more durable and need less weight added. On the other hand they would be harder to shape, and with the balsa the posibility to place most of the lureweight very low in the bait, will make the bait very stable vertically. If you want your bait to have a lot of "bellyflash" the last would be a disadvantage. I guess in the end it depends on what bait you are making.
True, and Im fishing for Bass mainly .. dont have pike in my area.. do have some musky not far from here .. pike do want things a little different than bass or musky .. but bass sure do like jerk baits :)
Jorgen, one more question... what kind of knife did you use to carve the holes for the lead??? it was very sharped ... I thought it could be some kind of scalpel...
When I made 3d eyes from the epoxy, I am using epoxy but after some time, it turns to pale and lose glossiness. What is the reason for this?. Using your advises, after hot stamping my jigs, I coated my jigs one layer of epoxy, now, I can apply zebra glow stripes easily, thanks by the way. Another question is about glow pigment paint, how can I spray this paint? What kind of binder must I use, am I use a thinner? There is no information about this in internet. And the last question, during buying epoxy what kind of epoxy we must select?
Hi Batuhan. There are many different qualities of epoxy, and they age differently. Try different ones to find one that stays the same over time. About glow pigment, I do not have much experience with that, but you should use something that is a very fine powder. Also make sure that you airbrush has a fairly large nozzle size - like 0,5 mm. I would mix it with some sort of clear coat. I buy my epoxy from Easy Composites in UK - Top quality i think. Good luck
+Andres Moreno Hi Andres. You must have misplaced the weights somehow. The weights should always be bellow the middle of the lure. The closer to the bottom, the more stable the lure will bee. I like mine to be able to tilt a bit when I jerk, so the are placed a bit up. In your case they must be above the "floating center" of the lure, thus making it go belly up. If you are at the state where you put it in water, it is not easy to rearrange the weights. So I'm sad to say, that you'll probably have to start over. Good luck.
+Splish Splash ... thanks a lot!, i'll try it again and i'll put the weights near of the bottom, and well i think i'm gonna start again with your templates, in my lures i use 4 lead balls with 3 gms each one, it's ok that weight?... i'll let you know how any news haha and of course i have to say that you're welcome to fish in the beatifull beaches of the venezuelan caribbean, regards!
+Andres Moreno .. If you follow my sketch, and make the lure the same size, you will need more weight. The point where the bait becomes sinking is 25-26 gram. Good luck with the project
Dylan Price Hi Dylan. Generally you need compressed air to use an airbrush. Normally this involves a compressor, but there are some airbrush sets that uses compressed air from a can. However in then long run, a small compressor is preferable, and you can get beginner sets that are not that expensive.
Wow, that's amazing.. I'm really considering getting all stuff and try it myself. My only consideration- what is lure's finish weight? As I'm fishing on light rod 2-10g casting weight it looks quite heavy for me. Do you do smaller jerk lures at all? Or do you know where I would be able to get drawing for a smaller one? Believe making all myself by existing small lure and get it right could be a nightmare
You should definately make you r own lures. This lure ends up at 35 g but you can make smaller and other type. Just check out some of the other movies in the channel
very impressive. I can't find those micro bubbles in my country. You think it will work if I substitute it with some styrofoam powder? What kind of epoxy do you use for topcoat ?

GODT! :) ja jeg tænker på det du bruger som vægt og hva metal det er... jeg er virkelig klar på at lave mine egne efter at have set din video! vil den blive for tung med alm træ?
Jeppe Quist Hej Jeppe. Man kan bruge hvidmetal, bly eller andet metal med den samme vægt. Dog fylder bly og hvismetal klart mindst i kroppen. Du kan købe det i en produkthandel (Et sted der køber og sælger gammelt metal) og du kan smelte det på et almindelilgt gasblus. Du kan godt bruge almindeligt træ, men det er noget sværere at forme, hvilket nok gør at det ikke er det letteste at starte med. Balsatræ kan man købe i hobbyforretninger, og det koster faktisk ikke det vilde. Super at du vil lave dine egne - Det er jo det det hele handler om
hi, i'm just wondering what cameras you use. i could see a gopro, but what type were the others. fantastic video by the way and the lures look brilliant.
Hi Robin. The GoPros are both Hero 3 Black, and the last camera is a "cheap" Sony videocam capable of recording HD (1080p) I don't remember the model, but it is nothing fanzy
The lures will take some damage along the way, but I usually just give them a drop of 5 min epoxy, and then they are ready again. The brown one on this picture has caught 50+ pikes and still lives on: scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/15039631_1341667742550581_5836728614612862383_o.jpg?oh=073523948bb5bcb341832edd1957a9f6&oe=58F2C6A2 The brown and green on this picture is balsa, and the others are plastic (resin). If you want harder baits, you should consider making them in plastic. Start by watchng this movie: th-cam.com/video/kbCk_Mwertw/w-d-xo.html
Alright, looking good! How much do your lures weight? I’ve build an example lure which was around 45 grams and it was floating when dropped one the water but dived when jerked. I use Sapiupira wood (little brother of mahogany) so for that lure I used around 10 grams of weight. The wood is quit hard.
I casted those myself i a plaster mould, but I think you could even use a "wood mould". Place two pieces of fairly hard wook up against each other i a vice. Drill a 7 mm hole along the gathering. Leaving half a hole in each piece of wood. A mould like that will work for a few castings
Nice - Feel free to upload pictures of them to my facebook page at facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/ I love to see viewers projects which I in some small way have inspired to
Hej - Fantastisk guide, efter et par års geddefiskeri nu er det vist tid til at lave mine egne jerkbaits og tailbaits, det eneste jeg mangler svar på er hvad træet hedder på dansk, også hvor man køber en air brush og hvordan den lige fungere? Har du evt. link? På forhånd tak for svar :)
Ja da se at komme i gang - Det giver virkelig en fantastisk vinkel til dit fiskeri. Træet jeg bruger i denne film er balsa - Det kan man købe i mange modelfly forretninger. Bare søg på balsatræ eller balsa plade i google. Airbrush kommer i mange varianter lige fra de billige fra feks BilTema til de helt dyre. Jeg kan anbefale airbrushshop danmark, der har alt til airbrush og er super til levering og kundeservice. Der findes utrolig mange giudes til airbrush maling på youtube - prøv at se nogle forskellige, så får du en ide om hvordan det gøres
+Scott Beebe Hi Scott. If you download the sketch from the link in the text to the movie there is a part showing the wire. Cut that one out and place it on a piece of wood. Drill holes through each turning point, and put a pin of approx 3 mm i each hole. Then you have a rig to bend the wire. Hope that is understandable. Good luck

This is in regards to all of your lures. How do you determine how much weight to add to a lure to get it to float properly, suspend properly, or sink properly? I have tried several different equations, and cant seem to find a good equation to determine this. I have come close but not sure if the weight is going to fit. Here is my example: Lure weight - 15g Lure Volume - 30ml or 30cc equation weight divided by volume (15/30 =.50g/cc) the weight of water is 1g/cc so currently the lure weighs half as much as the water. so it will float. This means i will need 50g/cc of weight to make it neutrally buoyant. adding 50g of weight is WAY too much. This does not work. the weight required to make it float just at the surface is about 14.9g. I found this out by hanging a string with weights from the bottom of the lure. I want to know if you have a better way of doing this. Thanks again Paul!
+caseyjtovey Hi caseyjtovey I think You have got the formula wrong. You should not divide the weight with the volume. If you want a weightless lure in water, it should have the same weight as the volume of water it displaces. In your example it should weight 30 g like 30 ml of water. Total lureweight of less than 30 g will make it float - Like you discovered 15+14,9 = 29,9 is floating
pikefisher1000 Hi PikeFisher - From time to time I have sold some of my Jerks, but I am unable to compeed with the prices of mass-produced lures. In fact the price will be something like £15-20 + shipping. If this doesnt scare you, just return, and we can discuss further details. Regards Jorgen
+Paul Connors I dont do many "The Jerk" in balsa anymore as it is a bit easier to make the plastic version. However I think i have a blank or two, so I could make one for you. However you have to be aware that my prices are not competitive with mass produced lures
Hello, I have a series on my channel called "What to watch Wednesdays" where I feature a playlist of videos from other youtubers who I have either learned from, been inspired by, or entertained by.

@@SplishSplashFishing okay, sorry for asking so silly questions but should i put on o layer with epoxy before i put the wood in water? Im using balsa...
@@hannestornkvist2628 Not a stupid question at all. Yes it would be a good idea to seal the wood before you drop them in water. The wood won't be damaged, but will have to dry a while before you can paint it. Mayby you can find a varnis that dries a bit quicker than epoxy for that layer
using other wood such as white cedar, or other non sappy ( as in pine ) soft woods native to your region, would allow you to make a more neutral buoyancy bait "slow sink" without using a lot of weight that would reduce the action of those want to make that type of jerk bait.. just a thought :)
I'm aware the harder and heavier wood would have some advantages, but also disadvantages. The bait would be much more durable and need less weight added. On the other hand they would be harder to shape, and with the balsa the posibility to place most of the lureweight very low in the bait, will make the bait very stable vertically. If you want your bait to have a lot of "bellyflash" the last would be a disadvantage. I guess in the end it depends on what bait you are making.
True, and Im fishing for Bass mainly .. dont have pike in my area.. do have some musky not far from here .. pike do want things a little different than bass or musky .. but bass sure do like jerk baits :)
Jorgen, one more question... what kind of knife did you use to carve the holes for the lead??? it was very sharped ... I thought it could be some kind of scalpel...
Hi
Yes it is a scalpel, but you should be able to use any sharp knife with a thin blade.
Jorgen
When I made 3d eyes from the epoxy, I am using epoxy but after some time, it turns to pale and lose glossiness. What is the reason for this?. Using your advises, after hot stamping my jigs, I coated my jigs one layer of epoxy, now, I can apply zebra glow stripes easily, thanks by the way. Another question is about glow pigment paint, how can I spray this paint? What kind of binder must I use, am I use a thinner? There is no information about this in internet. And the last question, during buying epoxy what kind of epoxy we must select?
Hi Batuhan. There are many different qualities of epoxy, and they age differently. Try different ones to find one that stays the same over time. About glow pigment, I do not have much experience with that, but you should use something that is a very fine powder. Also make sure that you airbrush has a fairly large nozzle size - like 0,5 mm. I would mix it with some sort of clear coat. I buy my epoxy from Easy Composites in UK - Top quality i think. Good luck
Thanks@@SplishSplashFishing very clear explanation. I am keep going following you. You are one of the best
Great work! Bravo!
+guido andreoni Thanks
Hey man that's a great video, I did my own lure but i don't know why swim invert, i mean with the belly up, how can i correct that?
+Andres Moreno Hi Andres.
You must have misplaced the weights somehow. The weights should always be bellow the middle of the lure. The closer to the bottom, the more stable the lure will bee. I like mine to be able to tilt a bit when I jerk, so the are placed a bit up. In your case they must be above the "floating center" of the lure, thus making it go belly up. If you are at the state where you put it in water, it is not easy to rearrange the weights. So I'm sad to say, that you'll probably have to start over. Good luck.
+Splish Splash ... thanks a lot!, i'll try it again and i'll put the weights near of the bottom, and well i think i'm gonna start again with your templates, in my lures i use 4 lead balls with 3 gms each one, it's ok that weight?... i'll let you know how any news haha and of course i have to say that you're welcome to fish in the beatifull beaches of the venezuelan caribbean, regards!
+Andres Moreno .. If you follow my sketch, and make the lure the same size, you will need more weight. The point where the bait becomes sinking is 25-26 gram. Good luck with the project
I was wondering do you need a air brush compressor for the air brush thanks
Dylan Price Hi Dylan. Generally you need compressed air to use an airbrush. Normally this involves a compressor, but there are some airbrush sets that uses compressed air from a can. However in then long run, a small compressor is preferable, and you can get beginner sets that are not that expensive.
Wow, that's amazing.. I'm really considering getting all stuff and try it myself. My only consideration- what is lure's finish weight? As I'm fishing on light rod 2-10g casting weight it looks quite heavy for me. Do you do smaller jerk lures at all? Or do you know where I would be able to get drawing for a smaller one? Believe making all myself by existing small lure and get it right could be a nightmare
You should definately make you r own lures. This lure ends up at 35 g but you can make smaller and other type. Just check out some of the other movies in the channel
very impressive. I can't find those micro bubbles in my country. You think it will work if I substitute it with some styrofoam powder? What kind of epoxy do you use for topcoat ?
Make a test with the styrofoam before pouring into a mould. It might react with the resin. For epoxy I use Envirotex Lite.
Olá, sou do Brasil e tenho assistido os seus Vídeos, que vem me inspirando bastante, pois
gosto demais da pesca e com suas dicas, vou com certeza fazer as minhas Iscas artificiais e poupar um bom dinheiro, pois aqui no Brasil são bastante caras, se tiverem a qualidade e o carinho de quem as Produziu, parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho e obrigado por repassar seus conhecimentos. Um Abraço.
Hi Durval. I don't speak portuguese, but Google translate helped me. I am very glad you like my videos and I hope you will make some great baits. Good luck
Olá de novo, fiquei feliz por ter respondido, tambem conheço muito pouco o Inglês, mas o Google tradutor, tem sido uma mão na roda. Você ganhou um amigo e fã do Brasil, continue o seu excelente trabalho com essa beleza de simplicidade. Um abraço.
Hello can you say me where to find stencil for a great finish like you? Sorry for my english i'm french....
+Remi M Hi Remi. I make all my own stencils. If you want to try the one in this movie, check out this movie: th-cam.com/video/QN6G6bE-Pw8/w-d-xo.html In the text bellow that movie you will find a link to download a copy of my stencil. By the way - Your english is fine. Good luck with your lures
Where do you buys your balsa wood from
Shops that sell items for model planes usually has it. Try searching for "Balsa Plates"
hey
rigtig god video
kan man købe det der ten eller hvad det er nogle steder?
hope you are danish :D
Jeppe Quist Ja jeg er dansk Jeppe :D Tænker du på det jeg bruger som vægt?
ja undskyld tænker om man ikke kan få det færdigt og hva metal er det du bruger?
GODT! :) ja jeg tænker på det du bruger som vægt og hva metal det er...
jeg er virkelig klar på at lave mine egne efter at have set din video! vil den blive for tung med alm træ?
Jeppe Quist Hej Jeppe. Man kan bruge hvidmetal, bly eller andet metal med den samme vægt. Dog fylder bly og hvismetal klart mindst i kroppen. Du kan købe det i en produkthandel (Et sted der køber og sælger gammelt metal) og du kan smelte det på et almindelilgt gasblus.
Du kan godt bruge almindeligt træ, men det er noget sværere at forme, hvilket nok gør at det ikke er det letteste at starte med. Balsatræ kan man købe i hobbyforretninger, og det koster faktisk ikke det vilde.
Super at du vil lave dine egne - Det er jo det det hele handler om
Can I ask where you got the lead bar from?
I cast those myself in a plaster mold. It's a bit of work, but once its made you can quickly cast a bunch of bars.
hi, i'm just wondering what cameras you use. i could see a gopro, but what type were the others. fantastic video by the way and the lures look brilliant.
Hi Robin. The GoPros are both Hero 3 Black, and the last camera is a "cheap" Sony videocam capable of recording HD (1080p) I don't remember the model, but it is nothing fanzy
How does these lures keep up when catching big pike? Balsa wood is quit soft, does the lure get easy damaged when the pike bite them?
The lures will take some damage along the way, but I usually just give them a drop of 5 min epoxy, and then they are ready again. The brown one on this picture has caught 50+ pikes and still lives on:
scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/15039631_1341667742550581_5836728614612862383_o.jpg?oh=073523948bb5bcb341832edd1957a9f6&oe=58F2C6A2
The brown and green on this picture is balsa, and the others are plastic (resin). If you want harder baits, you should consider making them in plastic. Start by watchng this movie:
th-cam.com/video/kbCk_Mwertw/w-d-xo.html
Alright, looking good! How much do your lures weight? I’ve build an example lure which was around 45 grams and it was floating when dropped one the water but dived when jerked. I use Sapiupira wood (little brother of mahogany) so for that lure I used around 10 grams of weight. The wood is quit hard.
The Jerk is just bellow 40 g when floating
very nice
Félicitations de la France ! :)
La Mème mais préfère ceux de brubru is fishings
Hey
Good work
What do you use for surface coating ?
Sebastian
+Sebastian Mazur Hey. I use Envirotex Lite epoxy, which gives a nice thick coating.
+Splish SplashTanks
Thank you
How many layers you need?
+Sebastian Mazur - For Pikes normally around 5-6 layers including the 2 before the painting
A lot of these layers
Thank you for your answer
How did you make those lead bars? Or did you buy them? I can't find 7mm lead bars online..
I casted those myself i a plaster mould, but I think you could even use a "wood mould". Place two pieces of fairly hard wook up against each other i a vice. Drill a 7 mm hole along the gathering. Leaving half a hole in each piece of wood. A mould like that will work for a few castings
+Splish Splash Ok, thanks for your answer.
Beautiful!
+MotoAndy Thanks
What size treble hooks do you use?
My favourite for this lure is Owner ST36BC in size 1.
+Splish Splash ok thanks I'm trying to make my own jerk baits!
Nice - Feel free to upload pictures of them to my facebook page at facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/
I love to see viewers projects which I in some small way have inspired to
how thick is the balsa wood?
+johnny davis The balsa plates in this movie is 8 mm ~ 1/3 inch
Where is the water action of this lure?
This lure has a nice s movement even with even retrieve, but it is also very jerkable
Hej - Fantastisk guide, efter et par års geddefiskeri nu er det vist tid til at lave mine egne jerkbaits og tailbaits, det eneste jeg mangler svar på er hvad træet hedder på dansk, også hvor man køber en air brush og hvordan den lige fungere? Har du evt. link? På forhånd tak for svar :)
Ja da se at komme i gang - Det giver virkelig en fantastisk vinkel til dit fiskeri. Træet jeg bruger i denne film er balsa - Det kan man købe i mange modelfly forretninger. Bare søg på balsatræ eller balsa plade i google. Airbrush kommer i mange varianter lige fra de billige fra feks BilTema til de helt dyre. Jeg kan anbefale airbrushshop danmark, der har alt til airbrush og er super til levering og kundeservice. Der findes utrolig mange giudes til airbrush maling på youtube - prøv at se nogle forskellige, så får du en ide om hvordan det gøres
Fedt, tusinde tak for svar!
do you have a template for the Wiring part for the jig ? Thanks!
+Scott Beebe Hi Scott. If you download the sketch from the link in the text to the movie there is a part showing the wire. Cut that one out and place it on a piece of wood. Drill holes through each turning point, and put a pin of approx 3 mm i each hole. Then you have a rig to bend the wire. Hope that is understandable. Good luck
Nice video and awesome work. The Links in your bio doesn´t match.
+donak1982 Sorry I forgot to fix those when my website was closed. I will reply to this once they are fixed, or you can send me your email, and I will mail them to you
+Splish Splash That would be nice. Could you send me your stencils,too? May i have your email adress?
+donak1982 The links are active again. If you want to write to me regarding something else, use facebook: facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/
Hi, do you sell any of your lures?
+Ibrahim Al-Dabagh Hi Ibrahim. I dont have a real production going on, but I do sell a few lures now and then. But I can say right away that my prices can't compede with those of mass produced lures. If you are still interested, then catch me on facebook - facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/
Hur mycket väger varje bly del?
ca 24 g - Der er et link til tegning med vægte i teksten under filmen
Hej hvor køber du din epoxy i små bøtter/flasker er stor fan af dine jerks så vil prøve at lave dem selv:)
+marius bie-olsen Hej Marius. Jeg køber det selv på nettet. Jeg plejer at købe her: www.amazon.co.uk/Envirotex-Lite-Pour-On-Sealing-Bottlecaps%20/dp/B005E2OU5U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1400669720&sr=8-1&keywords=envirotex+lite
Men hvis du synes det er for stor en potion, så søg efter Envirotex Lite på Amazon, det fås i mange andre størrelser. Vær opmærksom på at 1oz = ca 27 gram
Held og lykke med at lave dem
+Splish Splash mange tak:)
+Splish Splash is it ok if I sell these
+That Dude do I send you money or what
If you mean that you have made you own lures based on this tutorial and want to sell them, then sure go ahead. The lure isn't copyrighted in any way. But I would love to see your lures, so please find me on facebook and send me some pictures: facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/
what thickness for the balsa do you use?
+Chris Horton baseball Hi Chris - The balsa used in this movie was 8 mm ~ approx 1/3 inch
Hvilket træ bruger du til disse underværker
Det er balsatræ - Meget blødt, men super let at arbejde med.
Very nice Video, want to start making my own lures after watching your videos!! Can you tell me the name of your holding device for the painting-job in your plastic-tub??? Greetings from Germany! I added you on facebook
+Enrico Laase
You should - Its great fun, and nothing beats catching fish on your own lure. The device is called a "third hand" and is used for soldering.If you can't find locally, the you will find plenty through google
+Splish Splash Thank you!!! I found it :)
Hi SplishSplash! Could you say me the final weight of this jerk?
just around 40 g depending on how high it is floating
hej hvorfor skaffer du balsa træ henne
med venlig hilsen lasse
Hej Lasse. Du kan finde balsa i de fleste hobby forretninger der sælger modelfly. Prøv at søg efter balsaplade i google og find en butik i nærheden. Hvis ikke det lykkes for dig, så skriv igen, så kan jeg finde et link til dig. Vh Jørgen
Great Video!
what type of wood is that.
Its balsa that is very easy to carve, but you can use other if you adjust the weights
This is in regards to all of your lures. How do you determine how much weight to add to a lure to get it to float properly, suspend properly, or sink properly? I have tried several different equations, and cant seem to find a good equation to determine this. I have come close but not sure if the weight is going to fit.
Here is my example:
Lure weight - 15g
Lure Volume - 30ml or 30cc
equation weight divided by volume (15/30 =.50g/cc)
the weight of water is 1g/cc
so currently the lure weighs half as much as the water. so it will float. This means i will need 50g/cc of weight to make it neutrally buoyant. adding 50g of weight is WAY too much. This does not work. the weight required to make it float just at the surface is about 14.9g.
I found this out by hanging a string with weights from the bottom of the lure.
I want to know if you have a better way of doing this.
Thanks again Paul!
+caseyjtovey Hi caseyjtovey
I think You have got the formula wrong. You should not divide the weight with the volume.
If you want a weightless lure in water, it should have the same weight as the volume of water it displaces. In your example it should weight 30 g like 30 ml of water. Total lureweight of less than 30 g will make it float - Like you discovered 15+14,9 = 29,9 is floating
Hi I am a pike Fisher man from Ireland can you send me some off your lures love your work
pikefisher1000 Hi PikeFisher - From time to time I have sold some of my Jerks, but I am unable to compeed with the prices of mass-produced lures. In fact the price will be something like £15-20 + shipping. If this doesnt scare you, just return, and we can discuss further details. Regards Jorgen
can I purchase one of these lures from you ??
+Paul Connors I dont do many "The Jerk" in balsa anymore as it is a bit easier to make the plastic version. However I think i have a blank or two, so I could make one for you. However you have to be aware that my prices are not competitive with mass produced lures
+Splish Splash I don't mind paying for quality I live in Ireland so how would I pay ?? and a tiger perch pattern would be perfect 👍👍
+Paul Connors Could you catch me on facebook (facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/) or leave your email, then we can arrange the details
Doesn't the "wooddust" get into you're pc's?
+joestinof Probably, but I usually go outside when I sand the balsa lures. The light dust just goes everywhere :P
Hello, I have a series on my channel called "What to watch Wednesdays" where I feature a playlist of videos from other youtubers who I have either learned from, been inspired by, or entertained by. This week's topic is all about hand crafted baits and lures. Would you mind if I add this video to this week's playlist? Thanks for the great videos, amazing stuff!
Hi EatnLunch - For some reason you comment had ended up in the group to be reviewed, and I had missed it. Sorry about that. Guess I missed that week about crafted baits, but if you want to put it in you playlist another time, feel free to do so.
Hey no problem. I'll just go ahead and add it to the existing playlist, thanks!
Great Job !
Hi could you reply all the materials asap please
Dylan Price Hi Dylan. I have added a list of materials to the text below the movie, as I thought it would be something others might ask.
Thanks.
awesome
hey good deal i will thank you
Wow!!
Thank you!
Are you from Denmark, fordi det er jeg, syntes nemlig at du lyder lidt dansk :-)
+ZalmonHD Ca. så meget fra Danmark som man kan være :P
fedt, syntes nemlig godt jeg kunne høre det :-)
wauuu et flot arbejde
I use a dremel and a drum sander .. lil messier but I cant cut my self lol
With balsa that is very soft you have to be very careful when using a dremel.
I make balsa baits .. I shape with dremel all the time :)
You must have a steady hand ;-) I expect it can remove a lot of material in no time
I use a dremel flex shaft, allows very precise control .. if using just reg dremel would be very hard to do :)
Actually think I have a flex shaft to my dremel - Just havn't used yet. Maybe I should try
Good job thune you
u are the best
can i use the brand Amazing Clear cast ? easy to get it in my country. thankyou.
Thanks - I try :D
Video simply great! Baits made great! It is like what you are doing. Thanks for your works. Is it possible to your e-mail address, which would write to you personally? Thanks again for the excellent work and video.
+Виталий Малиш Thanks - Just drop me a message on my facebook page - That is the easiest way: facebook.com/splishsplashfishing/
Splish Splash Great! Now there is an opportunity to write to you personally. Thank you.
ok ai like and ai luck more veeerykood sory my english
great video! music? sucks!
if only i got a dime for every time he said "ehhh".................
You would be a rich man. I am well away of it, and has really been strugling with that in all my later movies :-)
