Thanks a bunch, everything's alright now.

Actually they are quite easy to make from a strip of stainless(brass , copper , steel, 1,5 to 2,0 mm thick) sheet metal or even a suitable handle of an old stainless steel fork or spoon.

It would help Do you have any additional diagram, or information on size , shape, angle / bend on how I can correctly make this lure or what tools to use. I have looked & not been able to find any for sale. That would help a lot Thank you

@@anchovyal3606 Sorry , I do not have , back in the day I've mailordered three lures from someone, who had copied them after vintage originals himself. And I had used pictures from an article in a German angling magazine, that was issued in 2006: raubfisch.de/praxis-und-geraete-alte-eisen-bachteufel-765/ The "Bachteufel" was designed by a tackle shop owner from Cologne named A. Schrader during the late 1940's, during the 1950's and 1960's various companies took over the production, yet it is a very rare vintage lure nowadays. The guy , whom I bought his copies from back in the day , is named Peter Taudor, his contact data was stated in that article : Phone: 0049 6439/353 (from abroad to Germany) Email: [email protected] But 17 years have passed since, we don't know, whether he is still selling his lures or if he's even still there. Sorry but this is all, I can do to possibly help you. Nevertheless it is not that hard to make such lures, it does nor even require exact measurements, just a rectangular strip of sheet metal of about1:6 width to length ratio is enough. One does not even neccessarely need a front or rear taper to the sheet metal blank and instead of the angled belly one may also bend a smal half circle to make up for the deeper belly(more difficult in my opinion)with the front and rear end slightly pointing upward. A lot may be left to experiment. As far as for the swimming action, the lure would tightly wiggle on retrieve and on the essential, occassional drop during retrieve it falls spinning around it's own length axis(this is, why I like to attach swivels to the front end), an action said to coax trout strikes quite a bit. Best greetings , Dieter

​​Спасибо и удачи!

Thank you , I haven't been lucky with these so far, seems, it was just another luremaking project of mine.

I find spoonplugs are the worst casting lures...like trying to cast potato chips.

Thank you , but I'm sorry to disappoint you. I've quit on making videos years ago, since I've somehow lost my passion for it. Went through family issues , as I had to take care of two seniors suffering from dementia. They're gone now, but my passion does not return. Also I do not do a lot of lure fishing anymore due to health issues, after almost 43 1/2 years in the metal industry now my bones have become too sore to be walking the water's edge for hours casting lures. I'd rather sit in a chair awaiting my bobbers to get pulled down or listen to strike alarms on stationary rods. So the only tackle I'm making these days are sinkers and chumming baskets , no more lures, and I do not even have a decent camera anymore , anyway. Tight lines still , Dieter

Hay brother Sorry to hear about all this. I wish you good health and happiness thank you for sharing your knowledge with us

I would like to purchase some fishing lures creek devils or other tackle from you if you want to sell them

Good luck with making your own!

Спасибо, с радостью случился

Thank you very much , but I have lost my passion for making videos somehow due to the ailments of life. I do not even make lures anymore and also I do not have the great passion for lure fishing anymore, that I used to have. But this is, because at 60 years of age and being into the 44th year as a machine operator in industrial tool construction my body and bones have become increasingly sore, so that I much prefer to do stationary fishing sitting in a chair and with my rods placed on their rod rests these days, as I can't walk around the lake for hours anymore with a spinning rod. When I do on rare occassions , I most likely carry a small collapsible stool with me to sit on while retrieving the lures, as I can't stand on my feet for a longer period of time anymore without having back pain. Nevertheless I had already briefly considered to make a few videos about casting lead sinkers in tea warmer candle casings or spent ammo casings or about a very successful stocker trout rig, the so-called "lifter method", but I do not even have a camera anymore, as my old one is not functional anymore and intentionally I do not even own a smartpfone. Maybe, some day I will do videos again, but I reckon, that my passion for it has gone forever. Thanks a bunch for your kind comment , anyway. Tight lines , Dieter

Hi Dieter! Thank you so much for letting us all know .As We all have been wondering about you for sometime and how life is. I know it must be very difficult mentally and physically to not be able to do the things we loved. Sorry to hear about your health issues. I love your videos and how you explained everything including the history, details and manufacturing process of how to making these lures. I have view them many times and look forward to making some of the lures. I am grateful that you have shared your knowledge and gift of teaching us all. Thank you so much We wish you the best always. Thanks

@@anchovyal3606 Thank you very much for your kind words, I appreciate them very much. In fact I've just got up from my basement making fishing tackle like feeder baskets and sinkers for the oncoming 2023 season, just no lures anymore. Wishing you a Happy New Year and tight lines for 2023, best regards, Dieter

Большое спасибо

Thank you!

Thank you!

Alles klar, meine und auch andere kritische Beiträge werden heutztage gerne von YT und vielleicht auch von einigen Kanälen(ist aber selten) gelöscht, auch ganze Diskussionen , die sich in den Kommentarspalten entwickeln, sind schon 'runter genommen worden. Ich hoffe , du kannst meine Antwort lesen , denn mich löscht man auch oft auf vollkomen unpolitischen Hobbykanälen , vielleicht ja sogar auch auf meinem Eigenen? Wenn du Email-Benachrichtigungen aktivierst , bekommst du gelöschte Kommentare in dein persönliches Email-Postfach auf deinem PC. Bis dorthin ist die Löschorgie wohl noch nicht vorgedrungen. Aber dieses sollte uns allen zeigen , egal auf welcher Seite des großen "C" wir stehen , wo der "demokratische" Hase heute läuft. Ich bin 60 Jahre alt und werde mich nicht impfen lassen , da ich in der Verwandschaft einige schwere Impfschäden mit Vorerkrankungen zu verzeichnen habe. Meine Frau und ich sind selber vorerkrankt und ich vermisse eine genaue Untersuchung diesbezüglich , bevor die erste Spritze überhaupt gesetzt wird. Außerdem sehe ich aufgrund meines persönlichen Lebensstils eine Ansteckung als eher unwahrscheinlich an. Und mehr als das Recht einer persönlichen Entscheidung wollen die meisten Menschen ja auch nicht, oder? Falls wir nicht wieder voneinander hören , möchte ich mich jetzt schon für den fairen Austausch und deinen Versuch , mich trotz aller Widrigkeiten zu kontaktieren, bedanken. Gute Nacht.

Sorry , but I've quit on making lures and videos, check around KZbin utilizing the search bar on top of page , you should find plenty DIY lure videos of other fellas

Спасибо, я рад ответить на добрые пожелания. К сожалению, я больше не создаю искусственные приманки и не снимаю новые видео. В любом случае, спасибо.

Thank you.

Read my answers to previously asked questions.

Sorry , I do not make lures anymore and I've never made them to sell , anyway.

Wow , a real treasure , that your dad has left to you and your brother . I had gathered mine by swapping homemade lures and off fleamarkets , and Ebay , off course. Thanks for chiming in .

Thank you very much for your positive feedback , this is exactly , why I've made my videos, to inspire fellow fishermen and lurebuilders from around the world. I see , that you seem to enjoy to make duplicates of those great lure models of yesteryear , too. These have provided great fish catching memories for me and occassionally still do . Regarding the "Whirligig" lure , it was never commercialized , thus must be homemade , I have published a series of instructional videos about that particular lure , if you havent' already seen them . Thanks a bunch again , "tight lines" from Schleswig-Holstein state/northern Germany

Hi , there : Here are the two sound-generating spoons , that I had designed(I'm much more convinced of the "Dinner Bell" , I'm just busy right now with making another half dozen to replace losses) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5ypeoaqmNRorpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/moKblHiKoNWAl6c Thanks a lot for your interest and good luck making your own versions , tight lines from northern Germany , Dieter

@@61diemai thank you so much Dieter. It's a great design! Tight lines to you as well!

@@BASSIN101tipsandtechniques You're welcome , if you should have any further questions , feel free to call back in here .

@@61diemai I sure will.. thank you Dieter! 👍

Thank you very much for sharing this picture , I would never have thought of such(I most likely use scissors , maybe that's why ?). Simply angler's ingeniosity! Thanks a lot for sharing !

@@61diemai Be sure to dull the edge of the clippers so it doesn't cut your line... LOL

@@randymorris8740 Certainly , but hopefully they'd still have an edge over the fish then !

Thank you , but it is , like it is.

Thank you very much!

Great to hear , this is exactly , why I made these videos . Thanks a lot for your feedback . But these are not my lures , they are just my versions of lures designed by a guy from Cologne/Western Germany named A. Schrader during the late 1940's : raubfisch.de/praxis-und-geraete-alte-eisen-bachteufel-765/ Tight lines , Dieter

Thank you , .......and excellent lures for summer piking !

Thank you very much , ......I had made this lure for an american collector .

Thank you , ...tight lines from northern Germany !

Hi , Veljko Thanks a lot for your kind words , they exactly describe my initial motivation for having uploaded all of these videos . Sadly I have quit on making lures for myself for some years now , so I also would not upload any videos anymore , but nevertheless it is just great to receive such a response regarding my lure work . I am very happy to hear , that the passion for luremaking , that I have now lost , has been passed on to the hands of fellow luremakers and fishermen like you , as passing on my knowledge and experiences was my general intention right from the start , since I had also learned a lot from fellow luremakers , ....especially in here : www.tackleunderground.com/ www.mt-lures.de/ www.lurebuilding.nl/indexeng.html I hope , that you will also find long years of joy , passion and happiness in luremaking and catching fish on your homemades , ......all the best to you and "tight lines" from northern Germany

@ haff202 Off course , ....a great concept !
