Lets make a lure out of sand...Wait, What, Sand???

[@SolarfallBaits]

Hey fellas since i seem to have failed to make it clear enough in the video what clear coat i used i'll add it in text here too its Cab Coatings Hard. I probably should start adding texts in the video when ever i say i use a spesific brand etc . thumps up if i should do that?

[@corneldelport7490]

Thank you for that . Always wanted to know . But that is like asking .Who came first ..ADAM OR EVE .

[@SolarfallBaits]

@@corneldelport7490 this is not a very well known fact but its is a fact. before Adam and Eve there was Steve. Steve had a bad habbit of getting a little too friendly to the animals ( you know what i mean, dont even try to tell me you dont) in the garden so God zapped him dead with a lighningbolt and decided to start all over again but then Eve fucked it all up again and they got booted out from the garden never to return.

[@stevenmccrickard1401]

Just a thought, could you carve the wood first then add the wire then mold the sand directly to the wood? It seems like it might be faster and easier and might even eliminate the need for the tin can. Thanks for your videos, I always enjoy them.

This might also work using old blue jean cloth soaked in epoxy. Kinda like making knife scales.

Very creative - great airbrush/paint work!

[@pedrolguzmanjr.1621]

It always very good to watch videos about making diffrents lures

[@Finnmark2013]

Should be strong enough only using sand and epoxy. But cheaper to add on balsa wood? Great idea.

[@prafullarwade]

That is some serious workmanship dude.. pretty sure it was worth it..

[@AutoAgentcoza]

Next time you use super glue to stick line ties, just sprinkle baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) on top. It hardens like an epoxy plastic and can be filed and sanded. Keep building layers of superglue and sprinkle bicarb till it's covered. Super strong and can be used to plastic weld just about anything. Try it!

[@SolarfallBaits]

You dont really need that, the mix of sand and epoxy is already plenty strong.

Hola que tal amigo espero y puedas darme detalles del material que ocupas para cobertura de señuelo.. Que es resina completamente epoxica? O que material es?

[@eochaid286]

If you're making a symmetrical template, fold it in the other direction and draw half of it. Then you only have to make one cut of half of the design rather than cutting it out twice.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Sure but i don't think the time gained from that makes that much of a difference in the end.

great paint job. Love the process.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Very nice lure , Mikko , .......and absolutely creative !

[@SolarfallBaits]

thanks Dieter im not all that fantastic with spoons yet so there is plenty of room to improve. btw if you still remember the spoons you send me years ago, they have worked wonderfully in my area, caught a quite a few pikes with them.

[@61diemai]

@@SolarfallBaits I remember , that I had sent some spoons to you , but do not remember the particular models anymore . I'm happy to hear , that they have worked for you , anyway . Regarding spoon fishing and also spoon making , I have always been focussed on heavy spoons , since the waters I used to fish , were up to 15 m deep and I wanted my spoons to run as deep as possible . But today I also see a need for slow sinking , yet sufficiently heavy for casting , spoons like the ones , you've kindly introduced i this video . Years ago I had made experiments with spoons made our of such two-component repair clay : www.amazon.de/2-Komponentenkleber-Befestigung-Rollenhalter-Seifenspender-Accessoires/dp/B004KQV1TO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_60_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DKETDG14YHMESJ8SQCB6 Sadly this stuff is pretty much expensive , but sometimes they sell no-name products in discounter special offers , which come quite a bit less compared to the brand name prices . To render the clay spoons heavier(the cured clay itsself is quite light , but still heavier than water) , I had gathered lead chips , filed off a chunk of lead with a coarse file and evenly worked these into the clay before finally creating the spoon's shape . One has to be very quick in doing so , as the processing time of the mixed clay ist only a few minutes before it starts to set . Made two spoons this way free-handed , using a mold would have surely been of advantage , ...one of these spoons turned out to work great , the other , a more slender one , got too heavy to wobble well .

[@SolarfallBaits]

I have used that very material before just not on lures though as its rather expensive and i tend to keep the expenses low. Its more challenging to make due with less tools and gadgets and keep it ghetto

[@christosioannou8459]

what is the type of knife you are using for crafting? How can i find it?

[@SolarfallBaits]

Just a normal hobby knife that you can find from most craft stores

[@alezando9378]

Very interesting lure. Is your air compressor maid out of refrigerator compressor?

[@SolarfallBaits]

yes i believe so, if your interested this is the model i use www.pk-pro.de/H-S-Aero-pro-HTC-20A-230200

[@jackreeves3001]

Very enjoyable, I love your humor. And the lures aren't bad either.

[@jimbo4612]

instead of sand use fine metal shavings from a machine shop. These shavings can be colored as well.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Sure that could work too unfortunately i dont have a machine shop

[@jimbo4612]

@@SolarfallBaits There is a company online called "ETSY" which sells fine particle metals including cooper,brass and other such metals for craft projects. One bag goes a long ways for lure making. These make super material for lures as they catch enormous amounts of light and cause the lures to flash brilliantly in the water. You apply them just like you did with the sand

[@jimbo4612]

Another way to add tremendous flash is to buy a sheet of holographic foil and use a hole punch to make multiple small discs. These discs then can be layered in rows on top each other starting with the bottom to top and will make fish scales . Then add the finish coat when all the additions are done Similar lures with such scales can run as much as $ 60.00 or more as there is a market for them all over the world. Musky, pike,Zander, Nile perch, Barramundi . Peacock bass, anglers to name just a few from the different continents that want high quality lures.

They also work fantastically for pike in shallower lakes and ponds, especially in the summer, when the weeds are high. Really like using those, when the pig softplastics I usually use are, well, too big.

[@plasterbrick2011]

I made one by weaving wire together and covering that in 5 min epoxi, rotating while it cured. The construction concept worked pretty good, but the shape i made was terrible. Might give it another go though!

[@DjDolHaus86]

When you cut out your template you could have saved yourself a step by folding the paper the other way and then cutting it out. Also if you want to sort mixed sand/particles try either vibrating it or repeatedly tapping the container to make the large particles rise to the top and the finer grains sink to the bottom. Cool lure though, well done

[@SolarfallBaits]

Yeah i can see how that would have been more efficient, but im not mass producing these so i don't mind one extra step.
