Making a Bladed Jig that LOADS the BOAT! (Shop-To-Water)

[@richshackelford5793]

Thanks for sharing Adam, that is a nice looking trailer and it matched up perfectly to the chatter bait.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thx Rich! I think it all came together!

[@TheCopperVillageAngler]

Never disregard fisherman’s luck! Just shows that you can sometimes do a lot of things wrong and still catch a nice one! Great lure build! Thanks for the video!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Very true! I'm certainly grateful as well!

[@brib_brib_brib_bri]

I was totally roped in by this video, soup to nuts. I love that it covered the whole journey, and had no idea that it was gonna do that. From nothing to a multi-faceted bait, plus the fish catches in one video. This inspires so much creative drive. Thank you.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Love this man, thanks a bunch! I'm enjoying these "full story" style videos - may mean less content as they take longer than a 15 min build-only, but I think they are worth it in the end!

[@baitchuckin]

Awesome video Adam!! It's such a great bait mold!! Those colors though!! Oh my!!!! Killer job on the Pigment combination!!! Cheers Brother!!!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man, truly appreciated!

[@N2TW_customlures]

When I’m on my kayak I use a paddle holder on the opposite side of the kayak as my paddle and angle it to where the net is just in front of the pedals and the handle is in the holder on my left side. And fantastic baits as always 👌

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thx man - another paddle holder for the net! That's a great idea, appreciate it!!

[@artfowler8702]

Adam, beautiful looking bait. As great as it looks in the video, I bet it’s even better in person. Love the bladed jig/shadderbait combination. Watching you catch was fun but nothing tops your instruction and demonstration of the finer points of net handling

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

LOL 🤦‍♂️ - some of my best work right there. I hope everyone was taking notes. You know how hard it is to get JUUUUST the very tip of a net wrapped around 1 guide? That's gold man! Pure talent.

[@davidscales8614]

Here's a couple of tips. When your painting blades, use a heat gun and hold the blade with needle nose at the attachment hole and only hold it above the heat gun only 1 second per side. You just want the blade to be barely hot.....just enough a light coat of paint will stick to the blade. It will have a Matt finish before you bake but will smooth out in the oven with no dripping. When I use the holographic stickers on the chatterbait blades or on the body of blade baits (like the silver buddy), I dip them in a cheap automotive one part clear. It will seal the sticker to the metal. You can get a quart of the dupli color clear at most automotive stores. A quart will do thousands of baits. I sell several hundred of the silver buddy knock offs (Do-It mold) to a local bait store every winter. No one has ever complained about the sticker coming off.

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thx man!

Good looking chatter donkey. I need that in a bit smaller presentation most days . Don’t get out in deeper water as much as I’d like. But I’d say a 3 inch version would slam on the river no problem. It that this size wouldn’t slam as well.

Yes sir! I’ve made them down to 1/4oz skirted and 1/8oz naked (just a plastic). They definitely get bit!

great job must be a ton of fun to play with all those cool tools. that was one of the best shads for color I've seen and you're like 3 drops oh maybe 2 and a bit of flake and just nail it. do you reuse what's left over and go darker or is the gel super cheap?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Thanks man, truly appreciated and glad you enjoyed the ride! Yeah, the leftover plastisol can be remelted to make more baits. I try to use it all… sometimes I combine with other colors, or even throw a bunch of similar stuff together to make something new. You are correct - TONS of fun!

[@fishingoutsidethebox]

I see a problem with the hook angle on this lure, it could possibly be the reason for a few missed fish. Of course the ones that engulf it will get the hook and stay pinned but I would tend to think more of a standard round bend would have a better hookup. My humble opinion. That aside this was a fun one, thanks for sharing this lure build!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Appreciate the feedback, thanks! Funny you mention the hook angle, just last night I was fishing this bait again (different location) and flexed it back just enough to make the point parallel to the body... not enough to compromise the hook just less of an angle. It was a pitching jig bite last night so I didn't fish the bait as much to test it, but I liked the look better and its sure to improve the hookup ratio! (BTW, I like the ewg style when using this trailer due to its taller profile - a more classic round bend doesn't provide as much bite). Thanks again for the comments and for watching!

[@AlIsUpOutdoors]

Shad “profile” but I’m willing to bet if you shot that in a rainbow trout pattern you’d smash the big pike and Muskie!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

100%! Lot of possibilities with this one!

[@christopherblevins1968]

This is my second (project) video, and you've got a brand new, full-time viewer! I love making things and making baits looks like a hoot. (You know what's coming next...) What would you suggest a noobie to buy to get started? If you've already answered this, please guide me to find your response. Thanks!

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Welcome to the community! Where to get started depends on lot on what you want to build and how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go! Lead molds, lead pots, hook options, powder paints, vise to tie vs rubber bands, skirt material options... then there's the soft plastic side with molds, microwaves, pigments, flakes - its a crazy world to jump into but a very rewarding one!

[@BOSN_BAITS]

So new to bait making and was wondering on a laminate could you do floating blend on top and sinking blend bottom and what would be outcome

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Interesting question. You could try, but you'd need to experiment with temperature. Reason being, the durometer is very different between the two (sinking being thicker most likely) so they won't flow into the mold at the same rate. To even them out you'd likely need to shoot the floating blend cooler (to "thicken" it) than the sinking. That's all a guess though!

[@BOSN_BAITS]

@@SDGCustomLurecraft well I haven’t started pouring yet I make wood and epoxy lures and paint blanks Just getting into plastics and I was ballasting a lure while watching you and few others when the thought came to me cause in my mind if you could do one of the shad or the other new mold if you get weightless ballast right and side rig like a texas I think it would slay

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Definite potential! An open pour would be another option... but they do "shrink" as they cure at different levels... that may pull the layers apart. Hard to say!

I need this mold! Where can I find this bad boy

Alpha Pigments offers their colors in 1 gram, 5 gram and 25 gram quantities. How many cups of soft plastic can be made with 1 gram?

[@SDGCustomLurecraft]

Oh man, that’s a great question. I’m so new to the stuff I honestly don’t know. The sampler pack I bought varies… 5g on the less expensive stuff and 1g of the pricy. If I can remember, I’ll take a 5g and see how many 1/8tsps I get. Thus far that’s produced some saturated baits, so you could get 2x that at 1/16tsp for less saturation. Do my best to figure that out soon!
