Tools, supplies, lures, art.. anything!
If you made it with your hands, and it's okay with you, I'd like to show your work and shout you out in a video too.
I think 20 minutes is the perfect length for your videos and i loved how you included your significant other in your video today. Great work brother.
Next suggestion: Salamander?
You are probably one of the greatest designers dealing with this business ... maybe some of them are your knowledge ... but none of them worked with such love and an open heart like you ... thank you! I want you to succeed in everything you do! You deserve it!
You really are highly imaginative, talented,& artistic when it comes to problem solving and constructing your projects. Very entertaining content!
You have a black belt in keeping it real!!!!! Mad skills
I just wanna see this man catch a fish
Bravo super
i just wanna see how the lure moves in the water
I love these videos. I get to see some incredible craftsmanship, fishing, and hear Tyler Childers and other good music in almost every video!!!
Over the past 2 days ive probably watched like 6 hours of your videos. Its been super relaxing for me. I shared a few videos with my best friend who is over seas with the military 😊 your unintentional comedy is so much like ours. You have a real talent keep up the good work bud!
I'm grateful that you show the real side of fishing and don't gloss over everything. Fish don't bite every day. It's ok that you didn't get a bite... It has NOTHING to do with the fantastic craw you made. So inspired by your channel.
That is beautiful! I’m always impressed by the incredible craftsmanship. I binge watch and begin to realize my mouth is dry because my jaw is dropped on every video!
Im seriously in love with your dog 😍 i cant help but smile when i see him just patiently watching you work 😋
Knowing you listen to Tyler Childers makes you an even better human being. Keep up the mad lures mate.
Love the Sturgil playing in the background.. Oh and the bait is pretty cool too.
I think it’s nice that you take the time to like everyone’s comments 👍 great guy, god bless
After watching one of your video's, I've become slightly addicted to your channel! I've always wanted to create my own baits, and after watching your amazing work, you are definitely an inspiration!
That was Awesome, you get better with each one and I love seeing you get excited with how it is going. Keep up the great Work.
"Honey get the camera off me". My wife tells me that all the time too. Now I do it just to annoy her. :) Great vid and a great looking bait!
The action is epic
Your lures are so realistic and amazing!!! Especially this lure!!!
Awesome reflex on that crawdad! Favorite video yet. Thanks for the tip on the hook hardware.
Dude! Crazy craftsmanship and artistry on all your baits! I really enjoy watching your vids! Yes I know Bob Ross not personally but grew up watching him and still watch him! You are the Bob Ross of lure crafting! Thanks brother! During summer I do ok at night for bass lol
Wicked carving brother. You are a great craftsman.
Wow I looks so good in those colors. I just knew they would work. Glad u went with it
I have never been fishing before, but i'm subscribing to your channel because ofbthe amazing lures you make. The detail you add is amazing.
Honestly one of the most unique channels on YT, keep it up!
U just dont back down from a challenge very inspiring
Outstanding Craftsmanship !!!
Great Lure Indeed !!!!!
Cheers

I was wondering, why is your videos (i watched like 5 of them today, for the first time) so good; but now I know. You have great style and there is no annoying background music. Keep on! ♥
And you inspired me to maybe try again make some lures. :)
Looks like my shop.. Intelligent, creative people are messy there's no way around it.. lol love your channel..
I love how the bright color scheme came out on this one, all of your baits end up being little functional pieces of art, so cool looks like half of the fun is in building it like a lot of other modeling hobbies. keep up the great work also I like how you are only relying on the lures and not powerbaiting or anything it seems like a better challenge that way of fishing
This is awesome it combines two of my favorite things art and fishing
Man how did I miss this one? Sir u are a hell of a craftsman
you are a true artist,i make musky bucktails,love the hobby and satisfaction of it
Wow bro that really turned out amazing. Love the color combination you really out done yourself this time. This is my second favorite the turtle you made is still my favorite so far.thanks for the video and keep them coming.
The action looks awesome
Amazing bait man! Hell of a lot of detail in that baby.
I'm in love w that crawdad lure
I enjoy watching you make all these. I see everyone gives you stuff for not catching actual fish. Hey if you can't catch them, make them right!
Totally mental! Fantastic Job! Only suggestion I have (hind sight being 20/20 and all) I would have added is a glass rattle tube or 2 to the inside of the bait. I loved the action on the bait. Thought it was extremely realistic. Good thing I’m not a 10 lbs. bass or you would have had me at “Hello”
Just like every bait you make, this one looks great!
1: WE NEED A SNAKE!!!!!! 2: you should make fishing videos with all the baits you have made
Raptor that would be lit
Thats what I siad
Love that lure !! Looks amazing
I always find cleaning the shop to be kind of relaxing
How are you so talented?! Wish I was as talented as you!
your lures are incredible, Very happy I found your channel. And I want your dog. lol
Fishing around the Waterloo/CF area was pretty slow too. Been too hot lately. Lure looks awesome as always.
Hey dude! I enjoy watching ur videos and its cool how u can make lures so realistic.
That lure looks amazing in the water. Would be perfect for Murray Cod here in Australia.Great job !!
LOVE your videos! I've done a LOT of studying on crawdads as bait for bass fishing... Crawdads actually change colors based on water temps during the year, dark black in early spring, red during hot summer and blue towards the fall so you want to pick your lure colors depending on the time of year. You might have better luck with those blue and red colors in fall?! Also because your claws float, that's a "defensive position" for crawdads and the fish seem to tend to strike less often with the claws up unless they're really hungry, so you could try adding a hair more weight to the claws. Another thing is when the fish strike they usually inhale the crawdads quickly which bends the claws backwards out of harms way, so you might have better hookups with a single hook in the body of the bait with the hook's tip on top to keep it relatively weed and snag free... Cheers! Keep up the GREAT videos! "ON to the NEXT BAIT!"
Love the crawdad bait. That would be awesome here in the Tennessee River with smallmouth bass. You are very talented. I really enjoy watching your videos
I was waiting for the next vid!! Epic lure and great paint job! Keep it up!
I’m really diggin the finished craw-duct 👍🏻😎
Wow I mean Wow u have so much ideas for lures Best TH-camr!
I like them ALL I cant pick just one LOL, awesome work, CANT wait to win one LOL
I think it's cool that you use a utility knife and that you can make lures with such detail. I saw in the last vid that someone was confused why. You have inspired me to make some lures and I also use a utility knife.
wow the action was sooo perfect!
Great job looks amazing!!!
In front of us is presented the most unrated channel on TH-cam ps love the vid
Wow good job man what a talent you have
You are the best. You dont explane too much.
Looks so real. great job
Bravo for this new creation, it really looks like a crayfish! Bisou of France
That bait looked amazing would totally purchase one.
the action on that lure is great!!!
That is one sweet lure! Great work!
Lure looks amazing 🔥🔥🔥
I would love to see you make a poppin frog lure! This crawfish lure looks sick the swim action it has looks great! Keep at it I wanna see more lure you make!
You gotta love his dry sense of humor, lol. I bet that ends up being a great lure, what the fish didn't want today, may work tomorrow, that's fishing.
This is my favorite paint scheme yet...
Good morning, GOAT! Turned out real nice! Have a good day.
This is really cool I have a creek in my backyard with a ton of crayfish/crawfish/crawdad (what ever you want to call them). Keep up the good work. 😁
Mudbugs👍
Crawpappy😎
Keep it up! Your vids are very inspiring and I might be a lure creator in the future🤗
One of the best channels I know
I NEED TO BUY A CRAWDAD LURE FROM YOU. THATS WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR.
The action on this guy was perfect
Awesome man, I wish I had your Talent to do things like that. Can't wait to see what's next.
I love these vids ur lures are so detailed and professional 👍👍
You're a true artist
Yes! Looks good man! Can't wait to see what you do next. Keep it up!
you have a divine talent
what an amazing beautiful bait
very well done
Impressive bait! I love it! And I am impressed with how u climb in those flip flops!😀😃
cool little bait, i think the hooking percentage/potential would increase alot more if you just went for a single hook on the body of the crawdad.
Thanks! Bet you’re right. Was thinking of all the different ways to change the hooks up after losing that fish at the pond.
that got to sting a little it looked like a good fish.
The that you didn't lose your bait in 12 hrs makes it a amazing vidio
Dude... Beautiful looking bait!
the hornet is still my fav :)
Dude you deserve more subscribers
maybe the hooks couldn't get a get hookset because the arms were limp? amazing looking bait though
Your to good wow very nice. Keep it up the good work. You have a great weekend comeing up keep smiling and gkd.
you make such lovely baits. keep up the great work
Oh my goodness, I know that song in the background. That’s my favorite song!!! LADY MAY!!!!!
love the action on the lure
Man that’s an amazing lure!
I knew where you were fishing looked familiar! I'm from Mount Vernon, IA! I live in New Mexico now, so its a shame I can't come fish with you!
Nice looking bait. great video dragonfly next
Helen G. Pitts what does that have to Do with anything?
I just started watching your videos. Your amazing! I subscribed. You definitely deserve it.
Awesome video bud! Love the craw
Nice job greetings from Germany I’m a big fan from your channel
I was literally watching some of your older videos and waiting for this one to drop lol
Love your work, and your dog ahah
Saw the fish you caught in another video, I believe the light saber video. HUGE!
Crayfish, as my local area calls them, swim backward as you had this set up however the tail is also where fish hit them. I believe having the line tie at the end of the tail isn't a good place for it. That's where the hook point should be or at least a hook point should be. If you build a crawdad lure again please consider putting a hook point at the end of the tail and another one right where the tail meets the body, maybe a 3rd in the middle of the tail and the line tie top center of the body. In my opinion and experience with using live crayfish as bait that's the best way to rig them. Hookup ratio's are in the 90% range that way. Fish don't go after them from the front they go after them tail first.
This is a great lure! It had great action! The line tie placement is why I think you didn't get any hits. The line's in the way of where fish hit them.
