Lure Build #1(Making a HUGE Rat Swimbait)

This is the start of our lure build videos and we thought we would start with a bang with this 270mm Swimbait Rat.
If we can get 200 likes (thumbs up) on the video we will go and try our hardest to catch a giant Murray cod on it.
Drop us a comment and let us know what you want to see in the coming lure build videos.

This is awesome, probably the coolest lure video I've seen! I have shared this around, hopefully, helping you get over the line for 200 likes. I'm loving the build videos, would you consider doing one explaining all the tools you use, or, better yet, include recommendations for basic tools people need to make, for example a pencil type floating stick bait, or whatever is easy and a good starting lure to make. Just a thought. Thanks for all the entertaining and informative content, I for one appreciate the effort. 😎🤙

Awesome work mate. That rat won't know what hit it. Very informative video on lure making. Keep up the good work.

[@labtrainer09]

I'm SO sorry you're not making and posting lure-making videos any more, You were REALLY good at them, and I always enjoyed and learned from them. Best of luck, Chris (in Maine USA)

[@fishingwithjollip]

Thanks for the nice words. I definitely still want to do them but we’re just to must with normal lure orders to do them. I’ll try and do some in the new year

Nice work Joey. Look awesome. Look forward to seeing future videos. What part of the river where you at. Such a shame to see it so damaged after the floods.

Fantastic Video Mate, and that is a beautiful lure. Learnt a lot and look forward to watching more of your lure builds. Any chance you can tell me what you use to seal your lures.TIA

[@fishingwithjollip]

Cheers mate Any sealer will work just find something that’s compatible with your other products and processes 👍🏻

[@bellagruia46]

What size hook hangers are you using diameter and length?

[@fishingwithjollip]

On this one I think it was 1.6mm wire twisted mate. Cut to desired length.

[@colinfardon5716]

Looks great mate! Nice job

[@fishingwithjollip]

Cheers mate

[@JeremyL7764]

Do any fumes come out of the lead pot? If so how do you ventilate your shop?

[@fishingwithjollip]

Usually only when it’s heating up mate. I have it next to two open windows and out the fan on.

[@JohnGoodwin79]

It'll hunt like all the range does mate, just add water and the picture's will come.

[@fishingwithjollip]

Cheers mate
