Lure Making with Vegetable Wood

I’ve had these old okra stalks in my backyard since last year and I’ve been really curious if the wood from it would be any good for lure making. My final conclusion is that it’s a pain in the but to work with because the middle is semi hallow. It’s quite buoyant but if you want buoyancy just stick with balsa lol. Hope you enjoy the video.

An accurate thickness gauge to put your pen on is a PACK OF CARDS, just add or take away the cards from the pack to get your desired thickness. The cards are also excellent to cut your own template's from because they're waterproof and last for age's!

[@TreysArt]

Great advice I’ve never thought of that.

[@juderyan1284]

That's brilliant!

@@TreysArt Ya must have heard people say....."He's got all the gear but no idea"...well I think I'm the opposite "All ideas but no gear" 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂 Some kind person burnt my shed/greenhouse down last March... Just one big ball of fire when my wife woke me. Lost all my tools and machinery, 40 odd years of collecting them gone in minutes, Found out my insurance only covered household contents😭 now 60 so too late to start over again. I think that you're the first person I've told about the cards. But it definitely works and so easy to do. Add it in one of your videos, loads of people would thank you and share it with their mate's 👍😷👍

As always i like the creative and simple way you create your lures. especially in this one the paintjob with waterpainting. so simple but the effect is just great. guess i will use it on one of my next sinking stickbaits. and dude the joke with tha good stuff made my day...hellyeah😂🤘

[@pitbullcustomlures1917]

[@jacobnowicki3790]

love your channel man thanks for the inspiration. i just started making lures myself. your channel is seriously underrated hope it blows up soon 👍

[@TreysArt]

Thank you 🙏

[@Faganronan]

Okra is related to cotton so that's why its burning, crazy glue will do the same on wool or cotton

[@TreysArt]

Interesting, I didn’t know that.

[@brentonclarke]

Nice lure. Checked out a few of your other videos as well. I'm looking to make some lures as winter down here in Australia at the moment. Liked and subscribed!

Nice lure

Btw hit up a friend that uses a mig welding machine for .035 or .030 mig wire especially if they have any in stainless steel , thats my go to wire for this application

[@TreysArt]

I don’t know anyone who welds besides me but I only have a little flux core. I just use precut stainless wire I get from a guy off eBay.

[@wayned5872]

@@TreysArt maybe u can pickup a 1 pound spool of ss mig wire? Try harbor freight if 1 is close by

Great effort, i think ur okra "wood" is too spongy & pourous , might be a good candidate for a pressure pot & epoxy to harden it , this might also make it sink ..just a idea

[@TreysArt]

Yeah it’s quite porous lol but the superglue actually made it hard as a rock. More pain than it’s worth just stick to balsa if you need the buoyancy 👍🏼

[@josueilg]

what is this white powder? Very beautiful work, congratulations!!

[@TreysArt]

Baking soda

[@campigomez]

Hi. What is the white powder you use to cover the holes?

[@TreysArt]

Baking soda. It hardens instantly when mixed with superglue.

[@steevefishingbzh23]

Sorry speak french ! Ou tu trouve la super glue en grand volume ?

[@TreysArt]

The hardware store I go to just happened to have it in this size. You might be able to find it on Amazon.

[@peytoncopelandshow433]

What kind of expoxy is that?

[@TreysArt]

Devcon 2 ton
