If you were to use a corn cob holder to try to hold those little pieces of paper while tracing, you may find it easier to place. This work is amazing. Makes me want to try it out. Awesome job.
Great video Mikko. I really enjoyed it. The lure looks amazing as usual. I'm glad to see that you are finding time to make these videos. I'm sure you are busy with the new job. I appreciate you taking the time to make videos like this. I look forward to seeing the next one brother. I have a suggestion for you, would you consider making a golden dorado or another saltwater 🦈? Maybe a hammerhead or a tiger shark?
I've been a sub for about a year. Thanks for the content, you are a very talented carver and painter. Your patience is amazing. A suggestion if I may, to make handling the small stencils easier is to cut the stencil as you did, but use the whole stencil holding the large piece on the body then cutting and marking the parts one by one. This might also help to keep the details perfectly aligned. I'm a retired carpenter, an artist and carver of many years. I have always had difficulty marking the face details symmetrically side to side so I usually free hand them. I'm going to start using a stencil to try to get better face details like you always have.
That's a very beautiful bait! I have appreciation for the more traditional ways you use while making your bait's and it's very cool to watch thanks for sharing! Can you do a jointed deep diving crank?
I have not watched one of your videos in a while. Great build and I am always astonished at the realism of your carving and painting. You mentioned that you favor the epoxy you are currently using. Have you tried any UV resin yet? You can cure it in minutes and continue working.
Great build as always! Thanks! I am really interested in what your take on a realistic spoon lure would be. Something in the lines of the sebile onduspoon, zazaa pike or rapala minnow spoon.
Very nice .... You might want to try changing the weight distribution of the lure just like you showed on your glide baits. Some have kept the weight in the front of lure so that when you stop cranking the lure it swims or shimmies downward. What that lure can do on the drop or fall can be very important.
What an amazing crankbait, Mikko, not only in its superb looks and craftsmanship (as always) but also in its swimming performance. I have to think that with that wiggle, it would be a killer on virtually any gamefish species. Speaking of which, does your job not leave you any time for the fishing you loved so much back in Scandanavia? Or, are there simply no productive waters near your new home in Canada? It would do my heart (and yours?) good to see you putting your lures through their paces in ponds, lakes, and rivers. All the best, Chris
The thing is i dont really like filming fishing and also i dont have a small enough camera that i would want to bring with. Thanks for checking out the video
Always a pleasure watching the master at work, going to try some of these myself. nice job bud. why did you leave Finland. did Rapala ask you to leave because you was putting them out of business? ha ha.
Great build!! I once attempet to make a wooden lure with a chatterbait blade for pike. But all xl , like a body of 16cm and the blade made out of plexiglass fitting the size of the body. The idea was good but I made a mistake with the blade. I think the linety was too high on the blade. Maybe an idea for you play with? Chatterbait xl
Very cool. Curious, why don't you work backwards on the gill plate templates. Start from the largest one, then remove each in turn from your pattern? It would be easier to hold at least.
Thank you maestro!!! Big dub i have it'a about the internal wire. When i try to make lure and make some resistenve prouve the wire deform and sometimes exit from the lure. I think it'a Better bind It or weld It. What you think about? Sorry for my primitive english.... 😶
if that happens you are not using strong enough glue. that being said if your fishing in the ocean some of those fish probably are strong enough to pull the wire however strong of a glue you use. in those cases you might be better off wrapping the wire or even weld it.
Well done! I just want to say that i love the ”tempo” in your videos. It makes them very relaxing, interesting and simply awsome. What sort of 2 part epoxy do you use for topcoat?
Absolutely stunning, how long has it taken you to get this good? What I can't understand is that all of the delicate painstakingly intricate carving is all leveled out by the epoxy!
Woooooooooah, I bet you could do it with your eye's closed after 25+ years! But it obviously shows in your outstanding craftsmanship. Thank you for replying and take care til next time my friend 👍😷👍🏴
Enjoyed this but I'm not doing anymore details carving since I split my index finger knuckle wide open. It was stupid ugly like a big gushing mouth so now I'm too afraid of the blade. Actually I wasn't even carving but trying to split a piece of bamboo. Stupidity is painful.
Insane as usual! Wish I could buy about everyone you do! How did you make your rotating dry rack? I’m just getting everything to start learning wood, band saw, sander, etc. But using auto clear to dry and need to make a rotating dry rack. Any input on how to make one or do you have a vid on it? Thanks bro
It's a little too thick, the lipless gets bit by using a fast vibration, the thicker they are the less vibration thus the less fish. Although you may have something the fish haven't seen before and catch tons. There are no right or wrongs I reckon
Hello! It is always very interesting to watch your videos! I'm wondering, what do you then send with baits, you probably have a lot of them? Maybe you sell? Doing for sale?
Usually i use stainless spring steel. I usually just go by what i think i might catch on a particular lure and have a educated guess what diameter might work the best.
Hope you enjoy the video, what should i make next?
Maybe some topwater lure. Haven't seen you do that. A popper or something like that.
Maybe a spinbate for a big pike?
Whatever you make ill be here to watch it!👍
perhaps some spybaiting lures 😍🤘🏾
A piranha!
The amount of effort you put into your baits is unreal! Always a fascinating watch. Keep up the awesome work 🎣
One of the best looking lures I have seen. Awesome job. God bless!
Terve from Florida! Enjoy watching your videos and watching a true artist at work.
one cannot go fishing with such a work of art; rather it is collectible. still very good.
That is the world's most incredible lipless crankbait!!! Awesome work 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Two baits in two weeks and what a little beauty she is .
I always liked woodworking and wish I had room for all the equipment! Nice video, thanks for sharing.
Next to all other things, that was an excellent carving and painting work. It looks great.
This is not a cheater this is a work of art.
Thanks, Mikko. Always enjoy your videos.
If you were to use a corn cob holder to try to hold those little pieces of paper while tracing, you may find it easier to place. This work is amazing. Makes me want to try it out. Awesome job.
great to see you uploading more frequently!
Very nice detail and great design for your lipless crankbait...carving, paint & eyes = 👍👍👍

Hey thanks for the tip man, I appreciate it.
Wow, You are a true ARTIST!!!! Greeting from The Netherlands.
Can't wait to finish work and watch this....
beautiful paint job❤❤
Fantastic as always Mikko! Thanks for sharing your methods.
Bro I would love to see you make a wopper plopper!
Absolute Master Craftsman
You are really really awesome at wat u do good sir.... yr detailing craftsmanship is spectacular 👌
Stunning work 🙌
Incredible! Love your work and videos, glad to see you are back.
It's official... Your videos are better than marling baits as far as teaching is concerned. Thanks for the step by step tutorial style.
Wooow already new video!!!🔥💪🏽👏🏽🎣
Maybe you can make some wobblers with spiner in the middle section/part that will rotates while retriveing the line.
That's a very beautiful bait! I have appreciation for the more traditional ways you use while making your bait's and it's very cool to watch thanks for sharing! Can you do a jointed deep diving crank?
Wspaniale pokazane i rewelacyjny opis tego co robisz ! Wielkie dzięki !
Awesome paint job I'm working on one myself
Very very cool work man!!! appreciate you sharing with us 🤙🎣🤜🤛

I haven't heard much good things about uv resins so I haven't really used them much
@@SolarfallBaits it is very durable. I use it….but the smell is terrible. I am too impatient for epoxy…lol
So awesome to see a video up!
Fantastic Job Mikka!
Great build as always! Thanks!

Been tyoying with that idea actually
Always enjoy watching your vids !

Thats a good idea i will probably do some more experimentation on this types of lures in the future
THAT IS AMAZING! it looks super great!
Wow, perfection! Congrats 😍

@@SolarfallBaits Don't even think about filming. Just go fishing, and enjoy your surroundings, experience, and lures.
Pretty slick! I know a couple places to use that, not loose it!
What? No baking soda and superglue. Outrageous! Amazing work though.
Excellent work and detail
Another great video, awesome details.
To nie przynęta, to dzieło sztuki. (It's not lure, it's a work of art.)
Beautiful bait, as always.
Great job, plays well on even wiring!
Tell me what kind of airbrush model you use?
Always a pleasure watching the master at work, going to try some of these myself. nice job bud. why did you leave Finland. did Rapala ask you to leave because you was putting them out of business? ha ha.
To put it short. It was because of a woman.
Pięknie zrobiłeś woblera 💪👍

its just easier for me to start from the front

Very cool build. How about a hybrid bait, don't think I've seen you make one before?
Have you tried super glue and baking soda to fill the holes, it hardens instant and is very durable
Great work as always
Good job solar bait
Well done! I just want to say that i love the ”tempo” in your videos. It makes them very relaxing, interesting and simply awsome.
What sort of 2 part epoxy do you use for topcoat?
I use true coat epoxy
@@SolarfallBaits alternative for us still in Europe :-) ?
@@goran79kt im pretty sure true coat ships to europe too
NICE WORK
Cool my friend 👍
So do you have PTTSCSD? As in Post Traumatic Trout Scale Carving Disorder?
How did you know? 😂
Absolutely stunning, how long has it taken you to get this good? What I can't understand is that all of the delicate painstakingly intricate carving is all leveled out by the epoxy!
I've been making lures for 25 or so years
Woooooooooah, I bet you could do it with your eye's closed after 25+ years! But it obviously shows in your outstanding craftsmanship. Thank you for replying and take care til next time my friend 👍😷👍🏴

Beautiful
Looks awesome!
Beautiful!
Those scales though :O
i would like to see you make a big rubber swimbait! :D been thinking about making one myself. but i need to see a pro do it first! xD
Awesome bait!
I'm following your creations, you are a champion. I would love to know what wood you use?
👍👍👍👍👍

fantastic
Another great 👍

You might be right, i dont really have alot of expeience in these types of lures yet.
Hello! It is always very interesting to watch your videos! I'm wondering, what do you then send with baits, you probably have a lot of them? Maybe you sell? Doing for sale?
I do sell the lures i make sometimes on ebay
Can you make small than this one?
I love it,
Any tips on making the eyes straight without a press? I can't drill straight to save my life
Drill a pilot hole first and then use a forstner or a bradpoint drill bit to drill the eye sockets.
nice and detailed bait! could You also share the lure templates when You make them? Greetings!
What part of Finland did you live before coming to Canada. My grandparents are from Alahärmä
I'm from North karelia
Can't pour led into a lure because it's dangerous, but can drill holes in it while holding it.
We all have our lure making strengths. Mine is holding small baits while drilling holes into them.
@SolarBaits What wire are you using for your lures ? How do you figure out what diameter you need ? Amazing work like allways !!
Usually i use stainless spring steel. I usually just go by what i think i might catch on a particular lure and have a educated guess what diameter might work the best.
@@SolarfallBaits Thanks mate !
Вот вам идея сделайте небольшого сомёнка Ну чтобы он сегментный был чтобы у него каждый сегмент плавал двигался
Most pallets are either white pine or poplar
Got some decent oak from a few too.
Riktigt snyggt :)
hi there mate. Great work you're doing and awesome detail on the hand carving and airbrushing.
What brand of Bondo do you use?
The one i use is just branded and sold as bondo which i assume is the original brand name.
@@SolarfallBaits easy done, thanks brother 🤙
