CRUSHING Fish On Homemade Lures!

I'm slowly becoming addicted to lure making. These midwest finesse jigs are without a doubt my new go-to Smallmouth Bass Jig. Not only do we show you how to make them, in the second half of the video we go out and try to catch some fish with them! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching.

Custommmmm City! Send some my way!

5lb Braid // Propane for paint // Candle for pre pour mold "sooting" // Bucktail is as necessary as Maribou

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@johnmagnusson9289]

Use a heat gun to preheat your jigs prior to dipping and make an air bed for your powder paint,

[@joemartin4292]

Hi jay awesome video I just ordered the stuff to make my own jigs but not to sure where to get lead where should I start to look

[@curlyybadger4091]

Putting your jig molds in the microwave, really helps to warm everything up at once. Your mold, your microwave and even your garage with smoke and flames. Really gets you cozy and ready to bang out a lot of jigs.

[@syahrmarkt]

Insane amount of knowledge in this one! Great stuff as always, Jay!

[@JaySiemens]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CoonCreekOutdoors]

Good show. You seem to be the kind of guy that doesn't half ass anything. Couple suggestions to help with your jig pouring, get a cheap heat gun to heat the jigs before powder painting. Next is look into building a fluid bed for your powder paint. It will better evenly coat the jig and save on paint. Great video as always.

[@lannysneva1889]

Post the kayak specs or brand and model. Great video Thanks

[@darrensnorthernlife1184]

Awesome, I’m gonna have to get set up for this at some point!

[@chrismills7940]

Hey Jay! We are taking a stab at jig making this winter. Can you tell me what mask you are wearing in this video ?

[@beanerish75]

Awesome vid 🍻

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks man ✌️

[@brent338]

I use a heat gun for warming up the jigs for painting, works perfect.

[@grahamman84]

Thank you for these videos. Love these so much!!

[@bentleykammerer7984]

Which wire keepers did you get?

[@alexelliott40]

So good!

[@DanielSon69]

Jay- you list/link all of your equipment but no mention of your camera pole/post. What make and model would it be?

[@JaySiemens]

Sorry, my go pro accessories are all ordered from amazon

[@Dreqsa]

Amazing content Jay! Great teacher

[@michiganmike3268]

😎

[@tiefsa]

I need to try this if I ever get to fish Sturgeon Bay area in Wisconsin.

[@xCL2x]

Where did u pickup your production pot and jig molds? Is there anywhere in Canada I can get them? Thanks

[@JaySiemens]

Sorry! I got them from Do-it molds in the states

[@oliverrodabaugh554]

i am loving the bass fishing my friend!!!

[@xavierdubay509]

Great video please more like this

[@derekpiehl85]

Keep the lure making videos coming. Get Sam back out fishing.

[@victorsimonsen921]

u should blacken your molds also.

[@TrevorF03]

Nice Jay!

[@adambartusek]

You’re the man Jay!

[@adventuretimefishinghunting]

The over head view was awesome you could see the big rock! Great video! I've been wanting to make my own jigs!!

[@petedarwin3025]

Great video! Smashed those bass! 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍

[@ChrisAWare]

One way I learned to paint my jigs is to put all your jigs in the oven, get them all preheated for quicker painting. Saw a local manufacturer doing this at a big show. I turn mine to 400 just because the door gets opened more often. Grab each one to dip, let them all cool. Put them back in for the hardening bake. Took me less than an hour total to paint 30 jigs for the St Clair River.

[@lorneboucher6046]

Totally going to get into doing this now that I have a bit of time on my hands lol seems like fun!

[@WaterandIceOutdoors]

Nice work Jay! I've been interested in getting into making my own but I seriously don't need anymore hobbies! Nice video!

[@louis.g7647]

Just a tip that I do, use a candle to “soot” your molds, it helps the lead flow into your jigs molds so much better. You get a lot less miss pours.

[@stefanpreiss2657]

NZ crew checking in

[@parklandangling]

Jay keep rocking it. Love your vids. Love the variety of your vids. Great content.

[@simonwynn8891]

I'm not much of a bass guy more of a walleye guy, my second year going for bass, I like your videos I learn so much from you about bass fishing! My best spot in kenora is tunnel island from the shore, come try it out sometime, that'd be awesome to meet you, I think your best angler I know!!!!

[@themichiganangler4746]

Another great video man! Really cool idea making the jigs then putting them to work! Love your quality content!

[@kyleevans2]

[@adamsmith8533]

Do your jigs come out better when using a " mad hustle " scented candle ?

[@darrensnorthernlife1184]

Adam Smith LoL

[@AndrewOS83]

Siemens with the Brown Town Smackdown.

[@robmartens8314]

Does Ontario open water season start earlier than manitoba? I thought season opener is tomorrow?

[@kristopherkapostins7385]

What was the water temp where u were catchin them?

[@keenanmoore264]

Seeing that snow just gave me PTSD.

[@danberger6638]

Best lead is sheeting in the walls from a X-ray lab when its remodeled

[@sethhanson8139]

How much does it cost to get the tools and such for pouring lead jigs?

[@bolak198]

So not to nit pick but I have a jig making business and you say there is a cost saving but there really isn't, initial cost is high and the molds, melter, bulk paint etc eat the savings till the 4000 plus jig mark.. it the customizable part is spot on.. couple tips. Use a heat gun instead of candles, it's hotter, faster and cleaner heat (allows the paint to adhere better). Screw the pot down to the table (more secure and less chance of spill). Put a block of wood under the spout of the pot so you aren't holding the weight of the lead/mold (more accurate and safer).

[@jacobbrace9914]

What size (2500, 3000, ect) reel are you using with the 7ft MediumLight rod? The rod/reel you were using with the hair jig. Thanks and Great Channel

[@RushVoorhisOutdoors]

I need to make an order from you Haha ,

[@timmichalski2986]

What kind of mic are you using on the kayak?

[@liftedninja1607]

Get a heat gun to heat your jigs for paint. Makes the process go much quicker. Cant wait for more molds myself.

[@geoffthechef]

Like in Monster Squad when the Cool Guy, Rudy(?) makes the silver bullets to kill Wolfman...

[@paulbowkunowicz6960]

[@dylanyarkie9687]

[@Logan.Perrault]

[@jnix112]

Nice! I wish you didn’t take the mask down all the time! Doesn’t sound terrible through the mask... or do a voiceover!
