Making a Deep Diving Crankbait, Making a Lure for Deep Water

[@peparenal]

Thanks for adding the metric measurements!

[@AAE-cg1il]

I ran the shirt color by my official color expert. She said it’s green……..I’m interested in seeing just how the beaver tail will play into this design. Another great episode.

[@JDSawatzky]

It looks like a minty green. Thanks for the video

[@trinidadoutdoors9284]

Another great video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to each video.

[@striperhunter-ic2wt]

Looking forward to the finish! Shirt is mint like you said

[@bigt9341]

Like the theory behind the design shape. Shirt is lime or chartreuse green. My wife and me always sees color different. Can’t wait to see actual water tests. The back shape of the lure looks like a inverted wing with the top surface having more area than the bottom surface thereby creating lift. Great principle application.

[@pakde8002]

Yeah I was going to say chartreuse mint. I'm guessing he lost a bet.😂😂

[@pmm422]

Thanks Carlo looking forward to seeing the results. oh and yes "Mint"

[@carlospaloma9324]

Recently discovered your channel, binge watched a lot of video's. I really like the scientific aproach! You are a natural teacher. Greetings from The Netherlands!

[@EngineeredAngler]

Welcome aboard! Thank you.

[@jorgericardomachadodasilva7663]

Very nice video with lots of good information being shared with us!!!! Take care.

[@brynniebfishing]

Excellent video as always! Looki g forward to the finished lure. As for the shirt, I'm thinking sea foam...

[@stevebrockway4738]

Great design so far. The beavertail makes perfect sense to offset the tendency for the bib to angle down too much. I'd call that shirt color "wedding mint green". I am anxiously awaiting the paint job and testing.

[@sddiymakeitworthit7512]

Excellent job 👍

[@EngineeredAngler]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AceTheBathoundProductions]

Yes, it is!

[@joshskrdla6196]

Great episode. I am excited to see to final testing!

[@EngineeredAngler]

Thank you!

[@rfolsom11]

I think I will make this one along with you. Don't forget the nerdy stuff.

[@pmpkmc]

looks like Mint green (ice cream) to me. "my wife hates it" sound like shop attire to me

[@FrugalFlyRodder]

Neon lime green.

[@AceTheBathoundProductions]

Mint green🎉!

[@jameyfranks5854]

Maybe a Sea-foam green on the shirt color.

[@pakde8002]

But it's got some transparent yellow or maybe I need to clean my screen 🤔

[@kunst-koder-werkstatt4425]

your shirt is neon-mint!!! with some golden scales over it it will look like the back of a young sandeal. nice inspiratition,thank you. at the moment iam working on the total other side, i need a lure that casts in strong wind and hold the line tight, without running too deep or flipping arround. all of that in more or less fingersice, and ca20g. so i made a sinking popper, and it seeams to work. but it needs some more lead and iam not sure where to place it. i think more to the middle,to get the whiggle.

[@EngineeredAngler]

Neon mint...ok. I would add the weight about a third back...good luck.

[@kunst-koder-werkstatt4425]

@@EngineeredAngler thank you. yes,but in the next prototype... in this one is no place anymore. at first i build a simple lathe, for the bodys

[@jamesstewart5371]

Color is lime green may be chartreuse ,would make a good lure color

[@henrikmueller1975]

Another very informative and very good video! I look forward to every Friday 👍Since you inspired me to build bait myself, maybe you can help me. My resin copies have small holes, even after painting with epoxy. How can I close these holes? Tried many primers and varnishes to no avail... 6x epoxy top coat helps but then all the intricate carvings and details are gone. Would be grateful for your help. Some lures I did well, how can I send you photos? Greetings Henrik

[@EngineeredAngler]

Send me some pics to [e-mail]

[@paulrenier1550]

The suspense is killing me. I want to see that thing in the water

[@EngineeredAngler]

Me too...

[@comfortablynumb9342]

Would it be possible to make a bait that runs deep but also with the body in a flatter more natural angle?

[@EngineeredAngler]

Sure...I was trying to exaggerate all the elements that go into a deep diver.

[@paullobwein1632]

Only new to your Chanel and now a subscriber, Love how you think it all through backed by engineering. I realise that’s the idea of your videos but I find it really useful. I have a question and if it is covered in your other vid please tell me and I will hopefully find it but does the physical size have any bearing on depth? I assume depending on type of wood will also but like for like same wood two different sizes everything else the same will it affect the depth?

[@EngineeredAngler]

Welcome aboard! The wood will make a difference if you don't correct for it's difference in density. So, a lighter wood will need a bit more ballast, and vise-a-versa. You should definitely watch the three master class vids, and check out the "crankbait design and build" playlist. Cheers.

[@paullobwein1632]

@@EngineeredAngler thanks for the reply I will definitely watch those as suggested 👍

[@mikehodges802]

The shirt color, (I'm color blind so I'll stay out) once officially decided, should end up in the color scheme of the lure :)

[@EngineeredAngler]

I like that idea!

I would agree with neon-mint. I will have to disagree with your wife - I like the color.

Good job amigo ...
