As he makes the tail, I imagine him saying "I don't got time for bills" great action with the lure, well done

[@TinyBoatNation]

I actually had to get some custom ordered because they take so long to make

[@Casper-sb7gm]

I always watch your Jon boat mods but this was what I was looking for to repeat my lures thanks for the videos, motivation, and inspiration.

[@8.21productions9]

this is such a brilliant idea. i’ve been considering making my own baits, but couldn’t afford to go out and buy all of the tools i’d need to do all of the wood working. I never considered making a resin bait. I feel like making a resin bait offers you *easier* options for adding rotating hook hangers and shit like that. not to mention i’ve been wanting a gill style glide, and I don’t really care for most of the ones on the market, and the ones I do like are either $100+ or never available, or both. so this is definitely an awesome option. and it helps i’ve got a hobby lobby pretty close to me. thanks for posting this video man. edit: have you ever made any soft baits? i’ve got an idea on what I want, I just have no idea how to go about making it. lol. edit2: if you want more precise paint, you can buy different caps for different types of spray paint. you can get thin caps, fat caps, and stencil caps that offer a really precise spray. just something to think about.

[@karmacombetch]

How did you split the bait?? Pretty important part left out for a glide bait.

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Been looking for a video on how to make a resin bait and damn I gotta get into this. Thanks bro.

[@daveempty6237]

I love this video. People complicate shit too much. I want to make these and I don’t even fish as much as I should!

[@Cressyconqueso]

How did you split the bait and make the cut outs for the eye screw things? Like...the process.

[@michaelandrews4819]

Exactly!!

[@BionicBunV.1]

Should be simple enough…I mean not to sound blunt, but seems pretty easy to me. Probably just glued in an image of an eye to the cavity any made a half sphere of clear resin, and super glued or uv resined that on top of the picture in the cavity. As for cutting the body in half like that I’m not sure though 🧐.

[@THTactical]

@@BionicBunV.1 thanks for the help!

[@DCONLEY666]

@@BionicBunV.1 Not to sound blunt, but He meant cutting the bait in half at angles where the joints are and adding the screws with eyelets known as screw eyes. He doesnt show that part, and in my opinion besides weighting it properly its one of the most important processes

[@fireantfishing]

Finally! 👍👍 great stuff

[@seankirkpatrick4363]

Great video but should do more on the mixes and why you did it or how or what for resin and microbaloons and also how you made the notches for two piece bait

[@TinyBoatNation]

It's coming. I'm making a solid series on it.

[@Lancesitton]

nice. should use a paint brush or horse hair for tail?

[@kvandaele82]

This video was great! If you make another video can you focus a little more the weighting process please! Again, great video !

[@outofbody6797]

bruh what dont u do. love your channel, youve taught me HELLA shit.

[@TinyBoatNation]

I try!

[@capt.ricksparrow255]

Excellent tutorial... thanks for the tips

[@chasechristopherson9940]

You do a very good step-by-step instructional video but you missed a step on video of how it is that you cut your mold in half your master mode the Sculpey mold can you please make a video on how it is that you separate the two halves of the master mode

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Dude!! I am so grateful I saw this!! I started airbrushing baits for fun during covid. I want to eventually develop my own glide bait line as I’m on disability after beating 2 cancers so I need something to keep me busy during the winter months! This was a huge help! Love the modeling clay idea as I don’t have a clue how to work w wood! But I thought I’d have to figure it out! Now I can do it this way, develop my lure and then maybe do a wood version when it’s time to mass produce. Thanks for this!! It made a huge difference to me!! Appreciate ya jj

[@taylormoore4991]

Prayin for you brother. I’m gonna try and start making some as well! God bless!

[@TinyBoatNation]

That's fantastic to hear! Keep it up.

[@TacoDudeYum]

I'd defiantly buy from u

[@jmcfishing430]

Amazing work !! Thanks for showing us!!

[@apparaoapparao]

Awesome video Struggling to get my lures weighted/balanced. Guess I should make one with no weight first, then play around with weights and locations with tape Then drill holes in bottom patch with water weld. Then on subsequent lures I can use sinkers on toothpicks to place them where they need to go inside the bait while resin cures Made mine with feathered treble tail-didn’t have time to make a separate tail.

[@MrBobbysmithinhouser]

If your close on weight just add wire to your hook to get it suspend the way you want.......same with crankbaits also

[@taylormoore4991]

Great looking baits brother. God bless!

[@adamvvs2644]

How many times making the mold did it take you until you got it right? Thanks for the cool info

Ok, so I was watching a swim bait making tutorial, then someone (you) referenced it "differently", yeah that swim bait just isn't the same! But thanks for the great tutorial on making swim bait!

[@GrandLakeUnderWaterAdventure]

My dad and me had talked about making our own lures then he got sick and we never got to. He passed just before Christmas '22 and he showed me this before he died and said this is the video i need to use because he said "this guy seems to know his shit". So i think im ready to see if i can do this. Just wanted to say thank you.

[@TinyBoatNation]

Thank you for watching! Sorry to hear about your father. Producing a lure for the family would be an awesome feet to achieve.

[@eyesonyou6352]

Everyone here who's interested in making eyes with household items I invented a way that is very easy and fast: buy a pack of clear thumbtacks cut the handle of the thumbtack off and keep the tip paint the broken stick part whatever color you want the eye to be bore out holes in each side of fishing lure and glue the Thumbtack heads with pupille inside of fish do this after painting clear over the eyes and it will have a in-depth effect that actually comes out looking realistic

A stainless steel metal rod. You can find them at a hardware store

Have you tried the paint brush tails yet?

I have not. They absorb water and throw off the baits natural movement. You have to tune your Bait specifically for those tails
