That’s one of those baits where you just have to tell yourself you’re not gonna get a lot of bites. That’s a trophy bass/musky/pike lure. Gotta have a few of those to offset the practical baits and that’s why I love this channel!

[@drinkthekoolaidkids]

I've seen 4 inch bass hit a 6 inch stick bait

[@Happyhandcannon]

Get to a big lake (Spirit Lake, Okoboji) this spring when the toothy critters are spawning in the shallows. Pike, Musky or giant Largemouth Bass will gobble that thing right up! If you put a blade on the "chin" of the head, it'll do the snake wiggle. Nice job!

This just ended up in my recommendations, most likely because I watch a lot of “hand made” videos. I don’t fish. I know nothing about making lures, but the title intrigued me. I watched, and I was amazed! The amount of artistry and hard work that goes into a lure astounds me. I realize this wasn’t a usual lure by any means, and now I plan on educating myself more about lures so that I am not as ignorant the next time I watch one of your videos. And yes, there will be a next time because a 44 year old woman whose idea of the outdoors is a well tended garden just subscribed. I did it is because your craft is exceptional, and you are far away from a guy “in his garage making lures.” Now I need to go watch older videos and catch up.... 👍

You say your just a guy who makes baits and videotapes it. You are the epitome of what SO many people in the world today want to be. You have a talent. Don't laugh too loud, other people may want it. You are an independent, you have no boss (except, maybe Chelsea and Finn), you have no clock-in or clock-out, you are doing something you love, and you are keeping 100k subscribers happy, by giving THEM a break from all the work-related crap they have to put up with. Keep up the awesome work!

Dude you make so much more than baits... These are tools that our fathers used, not only to teach us to fend for ourselves, but to create lifelong memories with us. Learned how delicate our ecosystem can be with lures. We all can hopefully one day pass these lessons and good times Down to our kids and possibly grandchildren... You create the lures that are passed down through generations as heirlooms. Not the big box store kind that lack quality. The good lures that last, and in time will tell stories and teach lessons. The next time you feel like you “just make bait” you think about that. You’re an artist, and I am greatful that you allow us to watch as you create your masterpieces. Merry Christmas 🎄

I have been subscribed for a very long time and this milestone is so amazing to see you over come. I am greatly appreciated for you to make that mission #marlinbaits

[@doctorprotazoa4131]

Just a few ideas. 1. It’s way too big. The first one you started was a much better scale to work with and fish would be way more likely to hit a juvenile snake. 2. Bind it all with one of the inner strings from a length of 550 paracord and drill a cavity into the tail piece so that you can knot the end then fill in/sand the cavity. The cord is EXTREMELY strong and the knot will make the whole bait strong enough to add hooks down the body. I’d keep the front hook, add one in the middle, and one on the tail. 3. When snakes swim their heads remain stationary while the rest of their body moves and the head is slightly higher than the rest of their body. I’d make the head stand up a little and make a second thick section to put the 90 degree lip and weight on so all the action starts behind the head. Just a few ideas, LOVE your work, keep it up!

[@parkergibbons1473]

Cody Lefler just for #3 is usually just venomous snakes. Sometimes watersnakes will raises their heads but usually just cottonmouths.

[@parkergibbons1473]

Matt Jones not to be that guy but it’s venom not poison. And yes you are right any snake that eats food in the water has to put its head underwater...but they never put their head under when just swimming unless spooked

[@m00n.ch1ld.19]

I don’t think you would catch anything with that because the colors are to trick predators to think it’s VENOMOUS. but it’s not.

[@devmike]

yep, if you get real close to the snake the elliptical cat-like-eyes pupils are a great indicator of which snakes are actually venomous Q( ^_^ )--O non-venomous snakes don't have elliptical pupils

[@devmike]

@@shahiraomar4229 It's only wrong if you can prove that non-venomous snakes have elliptical pupils too, those two examples you gave are highly venomous

[@brandoneargle4494]

@@devmike night snakes, lyre snakes. Both examples of harmless colubrids that have elliptical pupils.

[@devmike]

@@brandoneargle4494 Most poisonous snakes have a pupil that resembles a cat's; an oblong shape with peaked ends, like a slit in the center of the eye. Non-venomous snakes usually have round pupils. There is always the exception. The coral snake, a very venomous snake in the United States, has round pupils. Go thump your bible elseware, it was a joke.

[@brandoneargle4494]

@@devmike haha that's hilarious, im a herpetologist. I don't think you could have read me more wrong. And you are incorrect, most boas, pythons, pit vipers, and vipers have elliptical pupils because it suites their method of hunting better. Colubrids and elapids tend to have round pupils because it suites their means of hunting better. There is no correlation between toxicity and pupil shape. Furthermore, you don't need to be rude just because someone gives you an example of how you are wrong, it only makes you look incapable of having a decent conversation. If you would like to learn more you can send me a message, I'm always available to educate those who wish to learn. :)

[@ChrisS.WyoBraska]

I'm late as hell with this comment, and first I'd like to say I love the content ( just recently discovered this channel), but to answer the one question around the 29:45 mark.. no, snakes don't die in the winter. They brumate, which is best described as their metabolism slows to a crawl, so they are simply in a deep relaxing state, but on warm days, even during the winter, they'll come to the entrance of their den and soak up some sunshine. I figured I've learned a lot already from this channel, might as well throw some information your way. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to more great videos. The long-eared sunfish is by far my favorite.
