I’m over 1000 miles away and I can hear Marling Baits laughing along with you.

I don't know about laughing, but i definitely heard a loud "Thump" where I'm sure MB fainted when he said baking soda and super glue is for amateurs lol

[@topmario14]

I've had other BPM baits kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!

[@jessebolton3423]

Also love how you put your baits on a gravitational roller when you're applying your epoxy that shows how much experience you actually have I've seen so many people just apply epoxy but myself I like to use a gravitational roller like you're using there because it helps the epoxy to move where it needs to move to and not just sit in one spot

[@anthonykinrade8642]

I only visited here because Marling Baits said you were a Master Baiter. He was right! stunning work!

[@easyaussietarget3355]

I don't feel bad paying over $150 Australian dollars for 1 popper anymore...the amount of work in this is unbelievable. Just save my rage when a GT I can't stop goes under the reef. Great craftsmanship!

[@TrevorF03]

I glued a drill bit into a golf ball, then taped/glued sandpaper onto it. It was a large popper, so a golf ball worked pretty well! Nice work!

[@Penner_Baits]

Beautiful! I love the detailed paint schemes that you do on your lures. The blue and green on the back of that bait go really well with each other. It was cool to see you use the Canadian toonie cuz I too live in Canada 🇨🇦 keep making amazing lures👍🏽

[@AaronHendu]

I always preferred the "split down the middle" approach to bait making. It allows for the wire to be run exactly how you want, and also allows for weight channels to be in the exact spots you want. Can even do loose lead shot so you can do rattle baits easily. We have big pike here everywhere I fish for bass with crankbaits, so through wire is just the best design when it comes to getting the odd 20lb pike. Even when it's not needed, it gives you that extra bit of confidence that your homemade bait is not going to be the weak point in the setup.

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

It's great that the bait is unique and has a high artistic imagination in coloring and finishing

Thank you so vary much for you ministry it starts my day off looking up. Hope Chris will recover rapidly you need her directions. Your Brother in JESUS Rick

[@jaakkoteppo8376]

I've used both "Bondo" and CA + soda and the problem with some bondo brands is that it might shrink after some time when the bondo layer is thick, CA + soda does not shrink. Epoxy repair putty would be the optimal solution for plugging the lead holes.

[@ismetbagrack9304]

If I want to buy it for a fee, is it possible to send it to me?

[@bojensen8051]

You are the master. I´d love to see it in a fishing situation and how it pops on the water. That is , when the water softens up in the spring.

Just recently thought about lure making and your woodworking is awesome. What tools are a must for beginners just starting out?

[@SolarfallBaits]

the very basic tools for shaping wood. a hack saw, rasp, a hobby knife of some sorts, some sand paper in various grits and stub nose and round nose pliers.

do you use this lure for pike look like the size of the lures we use here for musky

[@kerrypitt9789]

There is a colour used in dying Yak Hair called "Herring Back." It would probably take a bit of experimenting but if a guy can get it, that would be a great colour to use. I need to get an air brush set up next, would you have a suggestion? You make beautiful lures, I'm working with fewer tools but I will get there, thank you!

[@SolarfallBaits]

I personally really like iwata airbrushes. Even the budget options are pretty high quality in terms of build quality

[@85krink]

Dang shots across the Marling bow!!! All joking aside you and him are my favorite bait channels on KZbin. I can only hope to make a bait as perfect as either of you!

Really nice job there as always amazing talent 👍👍👍👍👍

[@TobyCreates]

Haha! Great bait! As a Marling and Solar Baits fan, I take no offense from the baking soda shots! The great thing about bait making is that you can really do whatever you want with it as long as it works. I believe baking soda/ superglue method is so popular because if you are making lures, you’ll most likely have super glue on hand, and almost everyone can grab some baking soda out of their pantry without having to go out and buy bondo

[@SolarfallBaits]

I'm just poking a little fun on nate. Hes a good guy so its all just some friendly banter. Anyway i've been pretty active on the forums before facebook and instagram i've never came accross the method until i saw it in marling baits video so he could be the originator of the method

[@markay779]

@@SolarfallBaits If I remember correctly it was recommended to him in a youtube comment.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

@@SolarfallBaits Baking Soda and superglue has been used for packing up the slots in guitar nuts if the top action on a guitar is too low ( a buzzing string or two ) it's been used for decades and I've used this formula myself twenty five years ago as I found it mentioned in a guitar repair book. It's used because it's dense and tough, perfect for Good sound resonance. It's tough to file so for a filler on lures I personally wouldn't want to use it unless for something that needed that extra strength, I'd prefer using bondo as you did or car body filler which is pretty much the same as two part wood filler ( smells the same and sands the same ) we used it in the wood shop where I used to work 👍

[@chaseanderle6330]

Hey bro could you send a link to the epoxy clear coat you use pleaseeeeeeee

[@Crooks103]

This is incredible. That would work really well for bass fishing here in the UK. (sea bass)

[@OldCowboySongs525]

Wow, I never thought about using Bondo that looks like it works really well, and cleans off really easily how long ,do you have to wait for it to dry?

[@SolarfallBaits]

Yes you have to wait maybe 5 minutes for it to harden

[@jimpelocy5356]

Do you do the airbrushing in the garage when it is cold? Or does that ruin the paint job?

[@SolarfallBaits]

I never paint in the garage

[@evankeller4253]

Do you prefer volume to volume or weight with the adjusted ratio when using TrueCoat?

[@SolarfallBaits]

I do it by weight

[@Fbarts]

There is an attachment for a drill press that acts as a wood lathe if you're interested.

[@SolarfallBaits]

I'm aware of it

[@jasonc3522]

Would a cove bit for a router work for shaping the face?

[@SolarfallBaits]

I wouldnt risk it to be honest. Those bits have a sharp cutting edge and you probably would want to use a bit that has a rasp edge to avoid accidents.

[@insomniahobbies]

I know I'm about two years late.....but for the popper "mouth" I've used a large button head bolt with a chunk of sandpaper glued to it.

[@SolarfallBaits]

That would probably work very well. Too bad I didn't have any handy at the moment of making this video.

[@novaenricarter705]

Do you think the trick you did with the weight using the rubber band would be practical in making smaller baits? Because my biggest problem in bait making is figuring out how, and where to weigh it

[@SolarfallBaits]

It should work in any situation

[@novaenricarter705]

@@SolarfallBaits Thank you for the input!

[@novaenricarter705]

@@SolarfallBaits you should make a tips and tricks video. I know it would be great, I learn so much watching you

[@barrykoch7084]

Good job! However if I can make a suggestion... Why dont you seal the wood with a thick superglue? Ten times faster that Olympic wood sealer displayed in this video. You can still add the epoxy afterwards if you wish, but a thick superglue would do the trick I reckon. Unless you have a specific reason of course.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Im sure the glue would work. The reason why i used the deck sealer its because its very watery and will penetrate the wood better.

[@SolarfallBaits]

You can use various clear coats. Easiest is probably to use nitro cellulose varnish or just use spray can clear coat they will do an okey job. That being said the Best results you will get with epoxy.

[@localguy8]

That’s beautiful thanks for sharing your technique 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🖖🤩

[@agentsixx4343]

Where can I order this

[@dsberube]

You can let the lure sit still while applying the epoxy and after you can turn on the spinner. You were stressing me out trying to paint it on while everything was spinning
