Making a FlatHead CatFish SwimBait

[@Hazmat1223]

Not gonna stop asking for a yellowfin tuna lure: Edit thanks for all the support guys!

[@Northernguy_alaska]

World record

Tuna steak

[@mattramsey5080]

I would love to see that paint job

[@FishguyVR10]

Yes we need a tuna lure

[@ericpettyfishing]

This is the best bait channel on youtube. There is no comparison

Medium rare steak with coffee for lunch is the most American thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I love it

[@MrMiguella]

Swap out the coffee for beer and it's Aussie

[@Sladefishing]

@@MrMiguellanot just aussie also American people having beer with steak here is more common than coffee with steak 😂

[@CarolinaAnglingCo]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Your eye for painting is incredible. You're one heck of an artist and lure maker. You should make an Iguana lure! They're everywhere down in South Florida. I bet giant bass would destroy it!

[@carpNcoffee]

Possibly the greatest ad I've seen for anything ever! 😂😂

[@brettjones220]

Snakehead lure sounds fun

[@R-Tipp]

I think it would be funny to try to recreate those old lures you made into real working baits. Especially the clothespin one.

[@justicehopper7724]

Always amazing to watch the baits come alive. Keep winning thanks for sharing your gifts.

[@DjBolt11]

As a professional artist, I first started seeing your videos as background sound until I caught interest in your technique, especially the super glue and baking soda. Which I’ve now used in my process as well. Incredible what you can learn from different forms of art! Now I wait for new videos every week lol great work! A puffer fish would be fun to make or a manowar ! As a floater

[@Danicer043]

You should try a betta fish wether plastic or hard bait I think it'd be dope. Love your vids btw!

[@Red_Cat4888]

Ooh, a soft plastic betta with the long fins…..gorgeous idea

[@baitchuckin]

HA the way you covered up that scratch with Super Glue and Baking Soda... 😂 We should just call it The Bait Maker's Bondo at this point! LOL

[@davidbardwell712]

oh, i was panicking! 17:30

[@jeremiahkari7615]

Gotta love when Nate posts a video on my day off 🙏🏻

[@mcteer]

When that burr bit came out of there on the big mistake i could hear the drill press snickering and softly saying "You'll learn your lesson and come back to me." LOL!! ..... WOW!! That splatter masking fluid technique was a great idea and worked great!!! You always say it's hard to get random. Well that came out wonderfully random. Looks great. ..... im afraid that action and the ditch will not end well for the Flat Head.💀🙃

[@carsonhaney7888]

Been waiting months and borderline years for this one, i almost dropped my phone in shock when I saw the name of this video, fantastic work as always 😎🎣

[@eherogaia8545]

Never in my life have I wanted a lure so bad……brings a tear to my eye to see such a beautiful bait being made😢❤…..you do amazing work

[@derekoliver7045]

Spencer Bauer needs this one, gotta go catch a flathead with him too

[@felipeivlozano8016]

Your skills are getting better with every video keep it up

[@Flarexxxx]

Im sure Spencer would love this odd cave cricket

[@dlmsarge8329]

I thought of Spencer too!! Spencer and flatheads just naturally go together!!

[@kiwi_comanche]

Dude the narration is magnificent. I'm close to tears here 😂 Thank you ❤

[@jakasacer7862]

Make a wels catfish next. It has an interesting tail that would give a good action in water. Would be exciting to see. Great video btw keep it up❤

[@mikeoxlong4663]

That would be so cool in soft plastic the action would be crazy!! Or hear me out a soft plastic replaceable tail on a jointed swim bait. I feel it could be feasible to reinforce the soft plastic with a 3D printed piece and make a mold to shoot the plastic around it maybe something for epic bait molds to take a look at lol😉 I think Nate might appreciate the challenge or the comment at least😂 much love keep up the outstanding work!!

[@outdooraddictiontv5325]

Showing those Baits you started with gave me hope😂

[@johanrodvik]

Flatheads are my favorite game fish! Best fight in my opinion and I've caught a handful of musky

[@derekbturtlehuntin789]

Be fun to see you remake a couple of those old baits, with the same idea in mind as when you first made them. Like people do with old drawings. Then vs now, or 12 years later. Been watching for a long time, and your consistent great attitude is inspiring and motivational. Thank you

[@PascalMiller]

Nice to hear that you wrestled!! My high school wrestling team made It to the state finals last week!!! Wish me luck!!

[@vharrald]

I brought this idea up to you a few months back, I'm glad you finally decided to make it Nate

[@gavinvo410]

I think this channel in underrated

[@joeyyoshizumi]

Your videos always inspire me to paint more realistic lures!!! Keep up the great work!!!

[@biggametracker1]

Need a saltwater bait series to see what bass will eat, tarpon, snook, redfish, sharks, dolphin, whale, the list goes on and on and oh specially finding nemo

[@richshackelford5793]

Nice looking bait Nate, you should try and make a 6” soft plastic bullhead

[@65FullMoon83]

I suggested a bullhead bait of some kind before, but Nate didn't bite. It's a good idea imho.

[@CrawlingBdog]

This man has taught me more about fish than I will ever need to know but it is neat

[@CockMcBallsddd]

Ah u just need to start fishing man. . .you can never know too much about fish when you're chasing them. . .

[@CrawlingBdog]

@@CockMcBallsddd I fish every second I have a chance to fish

Chester copperpot, the key to catfish baits.

[@hanksbaits]

What an awesome lure. Loved the vid!

[@eddiehuske]

You should make a saltwater lure like a mullet swimbait

[@johnnyleach7152]

Soon as I saw it I new it was a flat head, looks fantastic.

[@luthergodwinyopp1248]

Id also like to thank you for getting me into baitmaking myself. I made my first homemade bait out of a wine cork, bottom off a coke can and some steel bbs . Cork wasnt the best choice lol. My screws pulled out but amazing action

[@devonhochstetler2349]

Every time I see your lures I just have say wow

[@shakeandbakepaul]

Good old hydro dynamics at play here, every object will take the easiest path thru water, the average Glide Baits are a lot higher than they are wide, this gives them the side to side movement. With that catfish being flat and not very high the less resistance was over top & underneath the lure, allowing it to move up & down thru the water column, also the 2 pectorals then worked as a diving lip. A very cool build none the less, and a failure is only if you don’t learn from it 🤷🏼‍♂️ really enjoy your tips, techniques & carving skills👌

[@richjageman3976]

Have you made a guy on a kayak with spinner blades for the paddle?

[@gregwright392]

Sweet bait! One of my favorite fish to fish for!

[@Guiltyme]

Nice to see you are looking good again. And wow that bait looks amazing. im so impressed over your talent

[@redknights2007]

A Marling and Solarfall bait making video on the same afternoon. Let's Go!!!!! 🎣

[@Jeeg_Quebec_CAN]

These oblibaitions are gonna be amazin' 🤙

[@NoahSchaay]

that's crazy how good you made it!

[@plzifan3773]

every video you put out is a banger

[@717CatFishing]

I absolutely love this one flatheads are my favorite species

[@NavyVeteran1776]

We need to see those OG baits being fished with at least in one video please!!!!

[@baps5078]

This channel has the most wholesome comment section ever

[@zap2747]

The widemouth blindcat seems like an excellent fish to replicate with soft plastic

[@nugefishes]

you have enough baits to invite Spencer to help make them official. Thanks for all you do. Still waiting on the original art t-shirt.

[@MichaelWilliams-kq1lv]

Congratulations on staying out of the slots and holes with the clearcoat. You truly are impressive.

[@Lowballinoutdoorz]

Man, I'm diggin the color!!

[@GrumpyGillsFishing]

Might be my favorite so far ❤ Can you humor me a bit and make a dwarf gourami lure?

[@chrisphistry5949]

Ok, I think I'm in too deep: I got a little anxious when you didn't let Chip out after your "ONN TO THE NEXT BAIT!" Can't wait to see you make this catfish official.

[@-dystopic-]

Damn that came out fire!

[@jdfightingautism]

Nailed it,,,Love this lure.

[@tacticalviking3773]

38:21 he blinked like a lizard 😂

[@kadenmackey4916]

Absolutely love the videos been watching for years. Recently enlisted in the navy and will be thinking of nothing but fishing and your videos while at basic. Can’t wait to for the stockpile of videos to watch when I’m done though!

[@forgetfulPyro]

Wow, the colors on this one are incredible! I also love how the whiskers add to the overall look of the lure. Have you ever looked into making a coelacanth bait? I think you'd get a kick out of their four lil "legs"

[@Tubewatcherdude]

“Dude, I’m gonna call flatheads granny cats from now on” and thats how fish get 20+ names. Very nice lure

[@reelsandwheels1]

Haha the lunch segment was great

[@syndican_]

Another bait, another inspiration to make my own lures! ❤

[@AdventureIndiana]

I once was fishing a top water rapala. It was a silver and black minnow, real old skool lure, maybe an inch long. Had a flat head catch fish just destroy that lure on the top. Never got him to in, but he was a good 10 pounds I bet. It was quite a thrill. Beautiful lure. Reminded me of that good fishing trip with my dad. Wish we landed that fish, but he was the one that got away

[@Jakeblaze98]

Been waiting for this!!! Love fishing for flathead and bass!

[@sanchez9761]

loved that lil lunch montage lol nice touch

[@AquariumFun-sy2jt]

B-roll has leveled up! :)

[@hanksbaits]

Such a perty granny cat

[@ratedredneck96]

I have a huge fascination with catfish so i love this video. I love catching catfish and keeping them as pets. I bought a redtail catfish a couple years ago and bought a pool for her so now i can put other big catfish in it with her and have a real cool predator pool full of catfish.

[@Seralemar84]

Another banger video! First of all, I've been watching you for years. Love your videos, especially the two ranking ones! Secondly, I wanted to suggest a video idea, one that I don't know if you have ventured with. Do a video where you challenge yourself to make 4 lures (a 30 minute lure, a 1 hour lure, a 5 hour lure and a 12 hour lure) that you can test out to see which catches more fish. I don't know, it's just a suggestion. Lastly, I hope you do another outside, on-site lure making video like you used to do. Again, love you're videos! Looking forward to more!

[@michaelbondick575]

Looking better 😉👍 all healed up.

[@Rick-lo5ob]

Always happy when I see a new upload

[@aldyn_edward08]

Another great vid! Nate the Great Bait maker never fails!

[@nolansbaits862]

Yay new vid! Can’t wait to ENJOY!!

[@NewAccount-lm2nz]

You're on a roll, nate!

[@joesguiltyguitar]

Yeah that'll be one awesome looking dirty shark lol I mean shovel head , no, mean flathead catfish lol ... Muddyrivercatfishing Kris Flores would be happy to see this episode 😁👍 awesomeness!

[@jacobkrell7835]

I've been waiting for a flathead catfish!! Keep up the good work! 👍

[@paulsimpson7426]

I think every man needs more recognition for staying out of holes they shouldn't be in.

[@montyyeager1117]

OK.... now thats funny. Entertaining. Love your videos

[@TRINFSS]

Sending Chip some love.

[@baitchuckin]

Another awesome video! You're on a roll with amazing content!! I can hardly keep up with regular videos 😝 Looks like with some practice I bet you can finesse that glide into some good action, maybe on a slow roll, somewhere where there isn't as much current as the river. The way is dived and wiggled in the test tank on the shorter jerks was pretty lifelike of a big fish boiling and turning down. That could definitely trigger a reaction strike.

[@davidpritchett855]

Love this one. It reminds me a lot of an open pour sucker that was one of your first vids I saw.

[@augustonthefly]

Dude the tunes in this episode 🤌

[@baps5078]

You know he's good when he has to make sure its "not all perfect looking"

[@charleshamby575]

It's perfect ❤

[@Northernguy_alaska]

Hello, I am from Alaska and love the videos. Thanks

[@Knabbelbaars]

I always love your video’s! Keep up the good work❤ Maybe a cool idea, make a zander swimbait? Seems like a nice idea to me!😊

[@BoboBellington]

Love the videos keep up the great work!, Also I think a soft plastic bubble eye goldfish would be awesome!

[@Biffo1262]

You store your photos actually on your phone? Wow...how old school is that! So much free online storage about these days I didn't think anyone still did that but there is always the OTG adapter and memory stick old school method as well.

[@agshaggy]

I like it .. funny how different it is the the flat head we have in Western Australia I wonder if the related in some way

[@jacobgamble3302]

I feel like eating a medium-rare steak for lunch is a strange, but welcome flex. Also always a great video when Chip makes an appearance

[@riccochet704]

We catch 20-40 lb flatheads here in NC all the time. Mostly on crankbaits. I ran in to a school of them and was crushing them with a Rapala DT10. Talk about a good fight on bass gear.

[@roguemanoutdoors]

What I think would be kind of funny, would be to carve out a loaf of bread in the package, so a package of bread, you could have the tail be the opening to the bag or something, and paint it in a Wonder Bread color.

[@billycurran9688]

Love the stake and coffee B roll 😂

[@nightdrivers9138]

Amazing work once again !

[@brandonseutter4632]

As a long time timber lure maker myself, I bet if you put the line tie screw eye an inch to an inch and half from the nose on top of the head, the downward angle already there would act as a lip and the bait would have a lot more action. Just a thought. Worth a shot.

[@madmattfishing]

🔥🔥🔥 Love your content. Always great when you upload. Especially on mondays. Start the week off right👊

[@dower85]

I love you MB!!!

[@nickna694]

Thank you for superglue baking soda, I really need that.

[@williamdixon8887]

You should make some other random fishing things- a wooden net, maybe a kayak paddle.

[@JaydenTBYT]

Cool how do you make so much cool lires
