Whenever I'm getting frustrated trying to make a highly detailed bait, I like to be reminded that a fish's mentality is basically : "Ooooo something shinny! Imma eat it."
Thanks for the Friday lure ,you were brave drilling those holes and holding them with treble hooks attached. One of my co-workers told me used old CD' s on piece of monofilament for attracting fish when spear fishing .
This is definitely who you are!! FrankO the inventor making lures and items out of backyard scrap or material people kick around or throw away. Great idea, video and lure. Congrats!!
Great video, I'm definitely going to give this a try. If people are looking for other applications for cds, TA fishing has a video where he uses them as attractors for sea fishing, no modifications, just a string of old AOL discs.
Great re-purposing. Love the flash. Reminds me of an Erie Dearie used on Lake Erie for walleye fishing and small mouths. Would get a bit on the down drop. All about the flash. Good scurf look fishing on the lake and catching the bass.
Considering the fragile CDs, how about using a lead crimp stinker on the edge for an eye? A gentle crimp and some UV resin should hold it. For those like me who would break several while trying to drill so close to an edge of brittle plastic.
@@EngineeredAngler I am also working on fake fish. I am watching you with pleasure and I really like your projects. I don't speak English, unfortunately I translated it :) If I knew English, I would have given you more detailed comments. I'm looking forward to your new projects. Goodbye.
Great idea Franco! Lots of uses for CDs, I just made a bunch of reflectors to keep the birds from eating the grass seeds I put on the lawn by attaching a CD to a coat hanger support with a piece of bead-chain. Last year I made a secchi disk (for checking water turbidity) from a CD and a bell-sinker. Fun stuff! How about a blade bait? The hook hanger and tie-point could be loops of wire epoxied into plastic body.
very cool little lure. great job. in my early days of making lures, i used to bust a cd, to get all the reflective film, to use on lures. that was before ALL the various choices that are available to us now. and, i used to use a paper hole punch to pop out circles from a cd, and those were my first variation of lure eyes.

From old CD's..... never would have thought. I do have some toothbrushes though that the dentist gives out that look a lot to me like preying mantises!
Great looking lures! I went through a lure making phase a long time ago. Going with the idea that shiny and flashy would help attract fish, I carved a fish (lure), head and tail but with a helix for the body. The wire ran straight through the body which allowed the helical section to spin as it was pulled through the water. After applying a terrible paint job, I glued on strips of a reflective material similar in appearance to the CDs you used. For one of my first lures it looked great moving through the water and it really flashed the light. I caught several bass with it despite the spinning action causing the line to twist something terrible (I used a cheapo barrel swivel). I lost that lure but I still have the prototype.
nice little lures. but you can thermoform cd's too, and create hollow bodys,or bended spoons. and a special lure from the baltic coast, an inline/linethrough-spoon. its nearly the same like yours, i would just take lead as spacer and a small tube in the middle straight through. if you stopp the retrive it will spin and sink sideward. like the westin 360°, snurrebassen,praeston. they are casting like a bullet,catch every thing great, and the fish cant use the weight of the lure to get of
were you get that small scale pattern? Fish tank would be awesome to share what action that has an the ones that was mistakes to get to the point finding the style to catch fish would have been awesome show the process of lure making
Здравствуйте. А делаете ли вы такие приманки, как blad beits. За счёт чего они работают? К сожалению Ютуб почему то перестал разрешать перед комментариев. Удачи в вашем творчестве
My wife: ' honey, i can't find our Italian opera CD.. do you know where it is? 🤷♀️ Me: i really don't know! 😉 Great idea Franco! Thanks for sharing and caring..🤝
Wonder how those CD’s would work crankbait lips ? I might have to try A few and see how durable they are. I could also see using something like this as a blade for a spinner, might have to give that a try too.
Hello Franco, very nice lure, it would be nice to watch the action in the water, I might make something similar for saltwater micro fishing, there is a similar video of the Handmade fisherman channel here on you tube, instead of the cd he uses a coke can, worth watching his videos.
I don't know how to private message so I need to ask here. I'd like to learn how to determine the density of wood. Its probably in one of your videos but I can't seem to find it. You breezed over it here but I still don't get it. If there is a video that can help will you point me to it? If there isn't one, maybe it's a good episode. Thanks.
@@EngineeredAngler Yeah this just pops in my head it could work for a float A float rig for Spanish macro 2 Like you know how they do the clear floats and the McDonald straws off appears for Spanish I think that little J would work in place of the McDonald's strong
I just made an experimental lure with wood for the head and down the spine to tail and lexan for the belly in the style of a crank bait. It floated nice but my question to is how can I get to swim straight it leans to the right I have one 1/4 ounce slide weight near the head in front of the hook I tried adjusting the line tie and hook hangers and style couldn't get it to be upright I added a1/16 ounce more too. Do you think that will stabilize it
crazy colors👍👍 but some people told me those disk break easy, is it true? can it hold if i accidentally cast it to a rock? (not that i do that. maybe once ;)
I see I am not the only one who does this sorry I mean dress up the hook and epoxy a ball on it like it a sin here yeap they did burn down my house and kill my cat over it LOL I have heat the CD up just to foam it to the shape of a spoon yes bearing why to waste them yes the mechanic's shop has hundreds of used bearing of any size too they think I an NUTS but this NUT employee's them and pays them too laughing working dairy farm and grain farm too as long as they make money for me and the girls are happy and give milk all I am asking from help NO, I do have an awesome staff working 24/7 for me so I can play around with other things too as long Mondays are meeting days, not Wednesday my day off like I have a day off have a larger hobby shop have few 3D printers and CNC machines in here gets used a lot hen designing parts for what every

We don't see new ideas in lure making that often. So this is a perfect implementation of one of those new ideas.a good idea. Well done.
Thank you.
Thank you for the ideas
You are so welcome!
Another masterpiece..love it🍻🎣
Thanks again!

these are beautiful 😁
Thanks
I have a load of old “useless” cd’s that I was about to toss when I ran across this video. You have sparked some ideas in my fishy brain. Thanks……
Glad it was helpful!
Amazing workpiece 👍
Simple and effective. Nice work. 💯
Thanks you

You could...but you'll be surprised how workable the disks are
Great idea!
Exalent work Bravo👍

This is such an awesome idea! Definitely going to make some of these,
Please do!

Very cool! And clever.
Very clever idea...betting it would do better than a Little George !!!
Hey! there's an idea, combine it with a tail spinner.

Blade baits are coming back , they were popular 20 years ago, nice job Franco, throw bigger hooks on it & toss it to bluefish
I find used-up gift cards and old credit cards make great thin stock

True Craftsmanship!!!
When do they go on sale ?
Would this work for trout? I would like to see a Yo Zuri Pins minnow style lure build! Awesome build once again!

Here is a play list of lure making videos, I go through every step of the build...enjoy.

Awesome as always! I wonder if CDs would make good crank bait bibs?
Yes they do.
@@EngineeredAngler that’s great, I thought the plastic may be too brittle and shatter when it scrapes bottom rocks
The material could also be used for inlays.
Good idea 💡
Grandpa use to take a house spoon cut handle off drill 2 wholes an bam fish catcher
Brilliant idea! Im gonna make some of these, probably w/o painting but with some fancy eyes
Sounds great!

My wife: ' honey, i can't find our Italian opera CD.. do you know where it is? 🤷♀️
Me: i really don't know! 😉
Great idea Franco! Thanks for sharing and caring..🤝
Don't use your wedding video CD!
Oops... 😄
Try putting a drop of epoxy on the CD material to make an eye.
I'd like to see what you could make from chopsticks you'd get at a restaurant or take out.
Sure...I definitely can't eat with them.
Like VIB
I would think the optimal design would be a Flat sided lipless crankbait
Maybe...but it would take a much thicker body I think. It might actually work....
Wonder how those CD’s would work crankbait lips ? I might have to try A few and see how durable they are. I could also see using something like this as a blade for a spinner, might have to give that a try too.
Those are exactly my thoughts....I think dive lips are a real possibility.

Go to my "design build from scratch" playlist, pretty much all my full builds show how I do it.
Do you think this J would work under a popping Cork For speckle trout
Dude! That's a must try! Expect to see it in the next fishing vid.
@@EngineeredAngler Yeah this just pops in my head it could work for a float A float rig for Spanish macro 2 Like you know how they do the clear floats and the McDonald straws off appears for Spanish I think that little J would work in place of the McDonald's strong
Can the cd be bent and shaped into spinnerbait blades?
It can, but you lose the holographic film
I just made an experimental lure with wood for the head and down the spine to tail and lexan for the belly in the style of a crank bait. It floated nice but my question to is how can I get to swim straight it leans to the right I have one 1/4 ounce slide weight near the head in front of the hook I tried adjusting the line tie and hook hangers and style couldn't get it to be upright I added a1/16 ounce more too. Do you think that will stabilize it
If it is a crankbait with a lip...you probably have a misaligned lip. You can't fix it with weight.
@Engineered Angler Lures Franco thank so much
Can a CD be used as a square bill or is it to weak and will break
You can use it but, I wouldn't attach the tie on eye to it
crazy colors👍👍 but some people told me those disk break easy, is it true? can it hold if i accidentally cast it to a rock? (not that i do that. maybe once ;)
Well..I cut drilled and sanded it...not really that brittle.
Spoon ?
Maybe...😀
You are a very cool dude, with a ingenious mind, count me in as a subscriber, thanks.
Welcome aboard! And thank you.
I see I am not the only one who does this sorry I mean dress up the hook and epoxy a ball on it like it a sin here yeap they did burn down my house and kill my cat over it LOL
I have heat the CD up just to foam it to the shape of a spoon yes bearing why to waste them yes the mechanic's shop has hundreds of used bearing of any size too they think I an NUTS but this NUT employee's them and pays them too laughing working dairy farm and grain farm too as long as they make money for me and the girls are happy and give milk all I am asking from help
NO, I do have an awesome staff working 24/7 for me so I can play around with other things too
as long Mondays are meeting days, not Wednesday my day off like I have a day off
