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

[@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!

[@anthonykinrade8642]

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

[@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👍🏽

[@browntownadventures]

"There's many Marling Baits fans gasping for air..." as I sit here with mouth agape. I died a little on the inside, but then I saw how easy is was to shave that Bondo off with a knife, and my faith was restored in you.

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

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

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

you're welcome

[@annebrowne5868]

Stunning popper. Children of Bodom was a nice touch too

[@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.

[@peterchessell28]

That maccy lure was to say the least impressive you sir are a master. I made a similar tool but used shot blasting grit and epoxy cut like b.....d.

[@jonnygranville281]

That paint job is incredible 👏

[@judyfisk9657]

Great artistry mate love the finish you get . The cup for our popper can be easily made with a modified spade bit done in 30 sec ready for sanding give it a go

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!

Thats awesome to hear. Just focus on having fun with the hobby, your skills will develop while you play around with stuff. No one is a master when they start, it takes time. 😉

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

[@NurAlamsyahBuyung]

[@slowpancing3750]

[@muhdharith2790]

masterpiece, can you list the tools that you use

[@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

[@SolarfallBaits]

Haha sorry about that, it's just my style of doing the epoxying.

[@dsberube]

If I'm not mistaken you have a ryobi bandsaw. How level is your bandsaw bed? My bandsaw bed is totally unlevel where the slot is for putting in the blade, one section is lower than the other.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Mine is fine, you might wanna jerry rig it somehow or if you can just return it

[@colossalbasscustombaits5963]

I fitted pieces of flat bar to pull the table to be flat but it is still a little cruked but much better than before. Mine is a little underpowered for the size lures I make but gets the job done. Great video and keep up the great work!

[@jessebolton3423]

Bondo or super glue and baking soda either one is a great technique but I think using Bondo with wood I think it's a better idea now super glue and baking soda on some other type of materials yes no problem but the way you're using Bondo I like that technique a little bit better because I do what I do watch other channels of other bait making and this is my first video of yours because of a gentleman I think it's a Marlins Vapes suggested your channel of how great of a Marlins bait suggested how how much more experience you had at doing this but I have subscribe to your videos this is my first video with you and I love the way you're doing this because I work with wood myself and I love the carve out my own lawyers it's just as I don't like not lawyers lures I like to I don't like to use my own pace because I only make one of a kind and I'm scared I might lose it so I use them as keychains or conversation pieces until I get enough courage up to use one but wonderful video you're excellent Craftsman

[@turdferguson5300]

That popper looks great. Believe it or not some of my baits catch better before they are painted which could mean two things. One they never see a plain wooden lure or two I'm a shitty painter. When Dad was alive he said I was an asshole for not taking his friends fishing so I paint a silver asshole on my baits. They just wanted to see where I was tournament fishing so I don't think so.

[@karimtetouanfishing3047]

Very Very nice work brother 👏 👍 Regards and my salutations from Tetouan. 🇲🇦 Morocco

[@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.

[@kahulitv4139]

Hi great making DIY popper lure Im from Philippines and i love popper fishing, i hope i can get one of your made popper hehe

Idk i was about to go ham in the comments after the baking soda superglue remark. Not too sure about you now tho -.- marling all the way

[@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.

[@PENFOLD1962]

Ya a Poet & didn't know it! Beautiful lure that's for sure! 👍😷👍

You have a wonderful channel where you share your experience and wonderful lures in great detail, thank you very much! I have subscribed and I will watch your films with interers.

[@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.

[@gabrielaguiaroutdoorwoodwo786]

I might try using that stuff instead of baking soda and super glue cuz that looks a lot easier to work with

[@avianfish8732]

Baking soda? Wha! Crystalline structure, gets wet it will dissolve. I used wood glue and sawdust. Woks just fine, stronger than crystals.

[@SolarfallBaits]

I don't think baking soda and super glue will dissolve in water. Not that it matters to me since I used epoxy to glue the 2 halves together in this video

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.

[@alinthekeys]

Not trying to be the safety police but you should never wear gloves and use a table saw, only bad thing can happen!! Nice job on the popper.

[@SolarfallBaits]

I would normally agree with you but it was -10c in the garage and -30c outside when i did the cutting so i went with comfort instead of safety.

[@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.
