Size 4! Can’t believe I forgot to mention that in the video haha

@@BakerBuilds it happen s bro jjiji ... I have a KZbin channel in Spanish, I do bass fishing and saltwater fishing.I started it 2 months ago the name is j.c 153 fishing can I feature your lure in my channel ??

[@pontoontri-hull156]

Zach, you did such a good job on this lure. It sure would be great to see more builds like this, especially since it is in the Channel's name. I really like the process of creating a lure, but don't watch very many 'painting only' videos. That's why I came back and re-watched this one!

[@BakerBuilds]

Nice job, with great detailed information and thanks for the pattern, can’t wait to try it 👍🏼

[@henrymanttan6759]

as someone who's very new to lure making i would like to thank you for making it very easy to understand

[@redeyestones3738]

You skipped the part I was waiting to see. And that was how you fasten the links between the two segments. And by the looks of it, being that the end is one of the most watched parts of the video, I wasnt the only one

[@Fishing-gs9ku]

Bro..... hands down the most valuable and well put together video you’ve done.

[@BakerBuilds]

Thank you!

[@masterchief7265]

This is awesome. Thank you for supplying a free template. I want to try this out

[@mirsadmemic5863]

Job about shaping taill is wright, Simple an great way. Resto of it is like you have to have this, then, then this which which cost good money and space. It could be done on much more simple and chippers way. At end ended there is good idea how to make tail simple and wright. Good job !

Thank you for the Video and stencil, learned a lot from making your lure, as mine was no where near your quality it's probably the best I have done, really enjoyed it.😊

[@aimlessdude9735]

This was very informative thank you

[@JG_23_]

Well I had no issues with your plans up until when I cut it and your “about 45 degree” angle wood was actually a lot closer to 30, which I didn’t realize until I cut into one of the holes where the weight is supposed to go so that really sucks A LOT. Because I’m gonna need to go in and try to somehow re glue the saw hole and everything

[@tomc.outdoors993]

Awesome video man!🤙🏻

[@BakerBuilds]

Thank you!

[@robgiberson8309]

Incredibly informative build video, very well put together and produced, I have never built a swim bait this actually may make me try lol, the only question I have is, how did you determine the amount of lead in each hole?

[@BakerBuilds]

Thank you! Trial and err for the weight until I got it right lol. I have a ton of test baits I did until I got this pattern down. Only thing you might do differently is add less weight in each hole if your wanting it to sink slower. Each piece of wood is different and more so when it’s hadcarved. You can drill out some weight after if you want it to sink slower 👌

[@4ryanthomas]

Bro Baker, I just subscribed… great job on your video… I like that you teach each step. By the way can you tell me what size and kind of hooks 🪝 etc.. I’d love to have this swim bait!!!… do you do giveaways??!! :D

Thank you! I used size 4 Eagle Claw treble hooks 👍

[@Jose.liranzo]

Hi, love your work , I make lures as a hobby as I am retired. What kind of wood did you use for this lure on this video?

[@sxezaki]

Poplar

I’m going to try one! If it isn’t too embarrassing ill post it to your “tackling the dream” Facebook group.

[@JG_23_]

Can you please make a video how to joint the two pieces together? Maybe it is obvious but I want to be certain of how I do it

[@fabesfishing]

He made a mark with square & then drilled the holes. Just use super glue or epoxy to fill it & screw the eyelets in. Same with the head & tail sections .

[@JG_23_]

@ how do you link the two eyelets together?

[@fabesfishing]

@@JG_23_ make one eyelet first then place the next wire in the eye & make the second eyelet.

[@mmpcustomlures1772]

Looks great! What type of camera do you use? That footage is smooth.

[@BakerBuilds]

I am not sure where you are located but I have two working bandsaws to get rid of. You can have your pick -- free to you. Beats a coping saw.

[@shaynekendall7051]

Hey bro just have a question for you if that's ok, what brand of a lead melting pot are you using? because I want to buy one to make my lure making soooo much easier instead of trying to work if out with split shot sinkers

[@gabifishing642]

Impressive video well done, I subscribed to your channel.

[@BakerBuilds]

Hey thanks!

[@brynniebfishing]

Really enjoyed the video. Looking forward to your paint job. I've been messing around with making gliders lately, and never seem to get the weighting just right. Out of curiosity, how deep do you drill? And is the amount of lead critical to the action? Keep the great videos coming!

[@BakerBuilds]

Different amounts of weight and placement can make a huge difference in the action, especially if your trying to make a suspending bait. I’m drilling in just over a 1/4”. All depends on the action you want. I’m still experimenting with different weight placements haha

[@brynniebfishing]

@@BakerBuilds thank you. I've been doing the same. I just can't seem to get consistent results. I'm not sure if it's because wood can vary piece by piece, or if I'm removing more wood from one to another, or what... It's frustrating at times!

[@kevinburton3619]

What type of glue or export do you use on the hook eyes and the joint?

[@BrothaAustin]

Whats the right moisture level of the wood for a basic balsa squarebill?

[@FishItLures]

The eyelets that you use on this do they ever get pulled out from the fish once you glue them in?

[@BakerBuilds]

So far I have never had one pull out. I have bent hooks or bent the eyelet but never one coming out. Definitely a matter of how much epoxy you can get inside 👍

[@Mark-ij5mp]

Hi man I had a quick question if you could drop some knowledge on me please. For all of these baits you paint, would it work the same on metal spoons and other metal baits? That’s what I am wanting to paint. Thank you.

[@BakerBuilds]

I haven’t tried painting metal baits yet. But experience with painting other metal I would say you need a slightly roughed up surface for the paint to stick and a good clear coat. Not much help lol. I do see people doing that all the time tho. Definitely something I want to try 👍

that diagonal cut that you made on the wood glide bait is not a 45 if it were it would cut into the hole where the lead goes. Im talking about where the bait is segmented. You mention that it was a 45 in video ,

[@83mrlock]

Ive subscribed also by the way great channel bud this will be my first lure build

[@BakerBuilds]

The top and bottom portion of the template needs to be longer due to the curve of the bait. Not sure if that makes sense but when I had them all at 4” the top and bottom wouldn’t reach front to back when glued down 🤙

[@seanp9157]

Dont use tungsten putty! I tried on a few of my first ones and it eventually caused problems. When I first saw the stuff I was like this stuff is perfect. But when it's in your bait and it's a warm summer day, the epoxy gets softer. That means it can move around easily and whatever you used to seal it in will start to fail.
