Your a True Craftsman. There is no better feeling , when you ketch a fish on a homemade lure

[@TreysArt]

Thank you

[@browntownadventures]

OMG!!! 🤣 The certificate is awesome. Can't wait to put one in my shop. Another great video!

[@TreysArt]

Glad you like it 👍🏼

[@andregosselin9170]

Nice looking bait! Great action in the water!

[@TreysArt]

Thank you 🙏

[@CUZNZFISHING]

This video inspired me to make my first bait. Thanks

[@TreysArt]

That’s awesome!!! I’m so glad to hear that 😁

[@daveschibler3465]

Thanks for dumming things down to the basics! Sometimes after a while we try things that take us away from just making a lure, by complicating designs and body styles. Thanks also for the free certificate! I’m also doing printing one for a buddy! Keep up the great work and vids man! 🎣👍🏻🇨🇦

[@juderyan1284]

Nice lure, really nice action too. Downloaded the certificate, will go up in the shed lol

[@funkyfresh2695]

Stunning craftsmanship 👌🤙

[@juejck4485]

Amazing thanks you master from🇲🇾

[@af4od02]

It is not going to get cool til November. Nice lure. You should build up a casting rod sometime.

[@rayrieder2380]

Man you made a great lure brother! Great job🎣👍

[@TreysArt]

Thank you

[@WoodPigeonOutdoors]

Yeah.... Thought i missed it... Nice job brother... Hell they talked about global warming... Here we get nuclear winter... It was 10°C this morning... Roughly 50°F in your terms... Glad to see you didn't loose this one...

[@TreysArt]

Haha yeah easy to keep them when you don’t fish them lol

[@ozzieguillen1109]

Extremely good action. Nice job

[@stephen579]

I started to watch this video and thought to myself, yes I could do that too if I had those tools, but I have to sit with a piece of wood and a sharp knife and whittle away at it until I have my shape, then sand it down with a piece of sandpaper, then you can truly say you made it yourself.

[@TreysArt]

Yes is a labor of love but I enjoy it.

[@skiclark8541]

Thank you for this outstanding video! Why do you seal the wood then use paint over it?

[@TreysArt]

Sealing the wood keep water from soaking into it

[@skiclark8541]

@@TreysArt thanks but why do the seal first then paint over that is it so it can’t soak through the paint from inside out?

[@TreysArt]

Yes. It’s just a protective measure to make sure the wood stays safe and dry. Usually I top coat my lures with epoxy but any small hole or crack could cause water to soak in.

[@jorgemendoza2013]

Very good video.

[@TreysArt]

Thank you

[@pault22pt]

Great video! I particularly like your lure turning jig. Would that concept work for bigger plugs in the 7-9" range? And would it be possible for you to explain explain and give more detail for your lure dryer? Thanks

[@TreysArt]

I’ll probably actually make a new one and do a video making it

[@fundamentalfarmer3787]

Trey this video is awesome can you upload a template i can print as a stencil?

[@TreysArt]

I will try to remember and make one and upload it

[@felixfanorballesterosubeda5511]

Un excelente trabajo campion muy bonito señuelo Felicidades por el certificado de maestro del sebo gracias por compartir tus vídeos saludos y bendiciones

[@TreysArt]

Thank you. The certificate was a joke i made that myself just to be funny. lol Gracias. El certificado fue una broma que hice yo solo para ser divertido. lol

[@tylercasey21]

Beautiful lure. Am I able to download the stencil?

[@TreysArt]

I’m sorry I don’t have a file for it. Just be creative and sketch it out the best you can. 👍🏼 you’d be surprised what you’re capable of when just winging it.

[@tylercasey21]

@TreysArt ok I'll give it a go. Thank you

[@EricOlynik]

Quick question how do I attach the trebles?

[@TreysArt]

Find some stainless steel split rings

[@steevefishingbzh23]

hey hey man top the lure what angle the flap?? and if not what is planned for the rest of a craw?🤔

[@TreysArt]

The lip is at roughly a 45 degree angle

[@steevefishingbzh23]

@@TreysArt merci 😊

[@bozidarmiskovic8815]

i just started luremaking made a mepps and a popper wanna make something with a lip and saw this what sizes do i use? its not said in the video like what is the length

[@TreysArt]

That’s a good question I’ll have to measure that one later when I get home but from what I can remember it was probably about an inch

[@bozidarmiskovic8815]

@@TreysArt thanks for the tutorial sorry i just now saw the comment but i guessed it was about one one and a half inch and caught some crazy pike this season thank u

[@TreysArt]

That’s awesome to hear 🙏 more to come!

[@snowballzz4]

How do you know how much wait needs to be added

[@TreysArt]

I’ve done it so much I can get pretty close by guessing but to be accurate you’ll need to test different weights to see what works best

[@snowballzz4]

@@TreysArt ye but how heavy does it need to be. I saw you testing them all out but how did you know how much weight is enough

[@TreysArt]

Usually input just enough to where it will still float. If it starts sinking then it’s too much. If you’re going for a floating Crankbait that is. Every lure is a little different. It really depends on what type of action you’re going for.

[@snowballzz4]

@@TreysArt aight thanks

[@CleosetricVlyers]

What best wood for making lures?

[@TreysArt]

Balsa is really good. Also I’ve heard Tupelo is good but I haven’t used that before.

[@ronniemartin8391]

what kind of pliers are you using?

[@TreysArt]

I think your referring to the wire bending pliers, not sure what they are called. Just some cheap wire bending pliers from Walmart

[@05_caoquangbach21]

is the color important ?

[@TreysArt]

Yes. Mostly it’s important to try and match your paint to whatever the fish are eating in your area. More colorful stuff is just being “artsy”

[@danialariffishing]

how many grams of front and rear weights

[@TreysArt]

I can’t remember how much I used on this lure. Every lure is going to be a little different. Type of wood and size of your lure makes a big difference too

[@pontoontri-hull156]

Great tutorial man! And another beautiful lure! BTW, The Certificate link didn't work for me.

[@TreysArt]

Ok let me check it out. I thought I had it figured out 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@TreysArt]

Try the link again and let me know if it works now

[@pontoontri-hull156]

@@TreysArt Thanks dude, you got it fixed.

[@davidwright8609]

Can I get a print of this?

[@TreysArt]

Sorry man I don’t have any templates that I go off of with these.

[@ronniemartin8391]

The name of those pliers please?

[@TreysArt]

Wire bending or looping pliers

[@ronniemartin8391]

Certificate 😂

[@ronniemartin8391]

killer lure

[@ronniemartin8391]

And the type of bit you're using?

[@TreysArt]

I don’t remember what bit your referring too I’ll have to look back through the video. If your talking about the one I used for the eyes, they are called forstner bits.

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

Great tutorial except the whole Gorilla Glue issue. Oops! I appreciate that you went out in 91°F Southern Humidity to show us an action vid

[@TreysArt]

Yeah I definitely need to order my thin superglue I normally use. This southern humidity is killer. If I wasn’t so busy I probably would have hung in there and fished longer though.

[@thewarpsyrhead]

On your other channel, it says you’re a former tattoo artist… What made you decide to quit that to make videos?

[@TreysArt]

Well I didn’t quit to make videos lol. I just make videos for fun. As a career it just wasn’t consistent enough work for me.

[@Pirates1621]

You're really good in MASTER BAITING....😂 I SEE your Certificate
