Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it kzbin.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.

Man, some archaeologist is gonna find that lure thousands of years from now, and when they look into the internet archives for it's origin, they will find this video, and your face will be there right alongside your lure. Congratulations my friend, you're immortal.

[@MrBlack0950]

You say that like you're sure he isn't already immortal. There's no way to be sure of such a thing.

Fun fact As a metamorphic rock, it is very resistant to heat. In fact, soapstone is often used for casting metals, such as lead, pewter and silver. It has also been used traditionally for cooking pots, pizza stones and other cookware, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, and even tobacco pipes.

[@prestonward7533]

I never knew soap stone came that soft. When I was a kid in the 40's kitchen sinks were made out of soap stone. Shop sinks were made out of soap stone also. I never tried but I know it was too hard to carve with a knife. I'll have to look that up.

[@proxcuber4741]

Top marling bait lines. “One day” “Bj ponds” “Chip, get out of the strawberries” “Pike!” “Be free” “It’s o-fish-ial” “Superglue and baking soda” “Work sharp” I prolly missed a lot of other lines😂

[@melazmusic]

Had my grandpa help me make some pretty cool school projects using soap stone (inefficient axes,model sized huts and all sorts of wacky stuff) always imagined it being like a piece of soap lol. So satisfying to watch someone working this amazing material!

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

The reason behind this lure giving you such a workout is most rocks having a very high relative weight even underwater, like metals (lead and tungsten for example), making it have much more resistance under water. You can basically go by "the faster it sinks, the harder it's going to be to reel in."

[@markmurdock1804]

This is a first “I have a rock” sounds like Patrick Star to me. Are you gonna use that to shower Mr. Baits.

Now that you say every noise isn't a fart, now we'll assume every noise IS a fart until you say otherwise. Also, did you get my Chip bait?

[@davidmattingly1574]

Just got to the end of the video. You DID get my Chip bait, but not the note! Well, 'twas I who sent it, as a thank you for teaching me baitmaking. I'd watched you for a while, but when quarantine hit I decided to try too. Thanks to watching you do it dozens of times, I found I already knew a bunch of the basics. You should know the Chip bait doesn't actually swim great. You should probably move the line tie. It was really fun to make though!

Nate, I have a tip for you. If you get snagged, you can attach a 2 liter (half gallon?) soda bottle onto your line and float it over the spot where it snagged. It allows you to yank it upwards and unsnag it.
