a vintage jitter bug lure from various hardwoods.

[@christophercastor6666]

Early morning and late evening are Jitter Time!! I have a dozen of them and they are my go to for dawn and dusk when top water conditions are right. More fun than anything else while clothed!

[@losatko]

I really love the "all wood" part! keep up the creativity

[@tracipalleria5474]

I gotta say man you make the absolute best Baits ever your work is amazing keep it up

[@paddlehooked4687]

A classic! For me, this is the lure that got me hooked. The lure I got my first fish on a lure with. In May, I made my first Jitterbug (carved it as a beetle and covered the back shell/wings with glitter so it’s now a Glitterbug). Was excited to take it out and… it sunk. Sort of happy to see even a veteran bait builder like you has the same frustrations occasionally.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Messing up once in a while is good for you. It means that you still have things to learn. Thanks for watching 🙏

[@pontoontri-hull156]

I've made a couple Jitterbugs. I cut some brass sheet and hammered it to a cup shape for the lip, then stamped the names of the recipients in the brass. However, your all wood design has, hand over fist, way more wow factor! Too cool!!!

[@andyprest]

Nice build 👌 let's us know if you caught anything 👍 Please can I ask, when you apply the top coat epoxy do you let the first coat fully cure before applying the second coat? I heard you should never do that because it can cause problems down the line with separating 💁🏻 I was told to apply the second coat before the 1st coat has cured? Any thoughts please

[@kbye5323]

Yep hat is amazing! Beautiful work as always!

[@ZachRussell.W]

It’s cool seing one made with a a wooden lip , gives it a different feel and I like it a lot ! Great video!

[@redknights2007]

Beautifully done. Deserves a place on the fireplace mantel.

[@marnixvenema3661]

Beautiful bait! A little big for trout out there in K-country though maybe?

[@colossalbasscustombaits5963]

Real vintage style! Super nice!

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Still use my gitterbug from time to time. Made my own Crawlers and man do they get slammed!! Hoping to sell them soon! Great vid!!

[@JohnJames.]

Awesome work, I really need to build something

[@bigcheesedog2645]

I just rescued a jitterbug I had left at my folk's place 30 years ago can't wait to try it again.

[@SolarfallBaits]

They are great fun to fish with for sure.

[@jtj2560]

Lovely looking lure 👊🏻

[@scottb4767]

That's a beautiful looking bait, also looks like the action is spot on!

[@turdferguson5300]

Make a jitterbug life jacket for the first lure, something in an orange May West style should work. :) Always glad to help ! That lure is too nice to use. It needs to be in a display case.

[@Loneman_OG]

I haven't been fishing in over 30 years and probably have no intention to do so again, so why do I get so _"Ooooo, a new SolarBaits"_ video? 😄 You have an obvious talent and produce some incredible creations, oh, and your lures aren't half-bad, either! 😂

[@SolarfallBaits]

Thanks for checking out the video

[@1234younghnn]

영상 잘 보고있습니다 갑자기 김치가 나와서 놀랬습니다ㅋㅋㅋ

[@SolarfallBaits]

me and my wife love Kimchi

[@chrisweiss6363]

How do you find the time to go fishing?can't go off forgetting why you do what you do.🎣

[@FishandCreate]

Awesome work man!! Love the jitterbug!🤘🔥

[@Danmcg73]

Amazing build, beautiful job 👌

[@alexanderdragomirov7051]

It's not boring shoot more fishing videos as well it's fun to watch how you make the lures and then test them in real life scenario

[@RyanMclain]

No definitely not boring to see you try, or succeed catching something on your lures.

[@nolanpeter2748]

Another enjoyable well made bait video

[@MarcosMVlures]

Do you have the link to the podcast interview that you made? By the way, we are waiting for a new video, keep them coming!!!

[@SolarfallBaits]

Just google made to cast podcast and you should find it

[@Itstheminiatureguy]

Great work. Do you have a website we can buy from ?

[@SolarfallBaits]

Not yet

[@lurefusion]

Looks Awesome👌

[@brianjones866]

Awesome save 🤙🏼 fish it at night 💥

[@brandonmyers4078]

Looking forward to this 🎣

[@leonpajak6415]

Wow amazing!!!!

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

The action is stupendous. I laughed out loud during several parts of this one. DANGEROUssssss. For the wood body that sank, would adding balsa plugs to it counter the sinking nature of the wood?

[@SolarfallBaits]

I did think about that too and it might work but I'm not sure.

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

@@SolarfallBaits I tried it with some black cherry wood that sank on me. It helped but in the end I needed way more balsa than what I added. The Cherry overpowered it and I had to scrap the project.

[@antonvanmessem10]

Just obsesed by your square bill crank, may I have the paper draw please please please 🙏🙏

[@selectnull4459]

I think that even if it sinks IT could still be floatiNG for some time when pulled

[@supermadmax-e8l]

Делаешь воблеры из твёрдого пенопласта??

[@Obblers]

Olisit lyönyt pistepuikolla kerran tuohon mahalenkin cup washeriin, ennen ruuvaamista, olisi tullut silmää miellyttävä kuoppa silmäruuville. Nyt tuo lenkki jää, omaan silmääni, turhan ylös. Muutoin kyllä hieno viehe ja video!

[@SolarfallBaits]

Hyvä tipsi, kokeilen ens kerralla totally mainitsemaasi pistepuikolla lyöntiä

[@kanny5175]

Very cool 😎

[@IanTanLK]

18:19 MJ would be proud...

[@pastmasters9591]

Nice man!!

[@pjc5437]

Beautiful

[@sciscia79]

I also enjoy building lures, but on a skill scale from one to a hundred, you are 100 and I am 5. However, when it happens to me that they don't float, that line from Kurt Cobain always comes to mind and I hum it like this: "If it floats then it is not A bait like we had thought". Smile a bit and try to find a way to correct. Nice work Mikko.

[@BrownBaitCo]

Amazing!!!

[@pastmasters9591]

I wonder what kind of action you could get with a lip like that on a rat?

[@SolarfallBaits]

Probably fairly similar as you would on a jitter bug

[@KabarmancingGatezbuntonz]

Amazing bosquh

[@aslmx1918]

Freaking epic!

[@tyronneemmanuel4844]

I challenge you too as I challenged Marling Baits, to make the soft vibes lure, it's the Zerek Fish trap 65 mm, if any of you make it then I will believe you're the best bait makers in the world.

[@mikewasniewski4048]

18:18 dangerous yes but could be good video.

[@Heimo_vesa]

Mitäs epoxia muuten käytät vaappujen pinnoitukseen ja käytätkö sitä sekä pohjalle , että pinnalle

[@SolarfallBaits]

True coat epoxia käytän yleensä pohjille ja maalin päälle.

[@Heimo_vesa]

Voisko epoxi hartsi toimia samaan tarkoitukseen, sitä saisi 1.67kg 59 eurolla.

[@WladimirNSO]

Круто 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@billyallmon5039]

Snakewood is a very Denice wood it doesn’t float very well

[@SolarfallBaits]

I’m aware

[@АМУР-щ5б]

Супер !

[@СЕРГЕЙСОБОЛЕВСКИЙ.Воблерыручно]

Привет .Давненько видео не было .

[@heikkimaenpaa222]

Oikeesti. Saako tuollaisella uistimella kalaa?

[@SolarfallBaits]

90 vuotta ne on näitä puskenu ulos joten luulis että ne toimii myös.

[@heikkimaenpaa222]

@@SolarfallBaits Ok. Ekaa kertaa vain näin tuollaisen vieheen.

[@minhadventures]

Good for collection but fail to the plastic one. Wood is more heavy than plastic & it will lead to the light action like it is showed at the end of this video.

[@SolarfallBaits]

That really depends on the type of wood. Balsa wood, basswood, apache wood, tupelo wood are much lighter than most plastics.

[@minhadventures]

You are right but the wood you use is heavy for sure. By the way, if you use all the mentioned light woods, I do not thinks the mouth of the lure is strong enough.

[@SolarfallBaits]

@@minhadventures that's why I used the harder wood for the lip part. The original is made from stainless steel btw and weights very close to my wooden one.

[@Heimo_vesa]

Mitä ruiskua käytät. Ps teet kyllä uskomattoman hienoja vaappuja

[@SolarfallBaits]

Käytössä on tällä hetkellä iwata highline ja iwata custom micron

[@Heimo_vesa]

No ilmankos on niin hyvä jälki ja tietenki miehestäkin kiinni
