Making A WOOD Fishing Lure To Catch GIANT FISH!!!

This tragic yet exciting video follows the process of me hand carving and painting a wooden fishing lure completely from scratch! I recommend watching this video completely as a lot of things happen (particularly in the fishing portion!) I really hope you enjoy!!!

Keep up the good work

[@codyoslin6594]

Marling would be proud. Well done.

[@johndixon5323]

you are a decade ahead of most bait makers. I see your stuff getting collectors interested very soon. keep it up 👍

[@terrywade7346]

Well done young fellow

Belle realisation une fois de plus felicitation.

[@juderyan1284]

Hey Nolan, keep checking back to see if you have made a new video. Hoping you can find the time to get back to it, would be great to see another build 🙏

[@jorylyons6172]

More lures, Nolan. You have skills

[@JesseG085]

Sick lures! Better to have them and lose them than to have never had them at all.

[@transporter1273]

love your videos man! started making lures just recently and get a lot of inspiration from you! Keep em comin!!

[@Jacob_Mckinlay2023]

Awsome lure! Keep it up!👍

[@barbarascholes5035]

Enjoyed this video!!

Welcome back! It's wonderful to see you fired up again about fishing and bait making. I was agraid you had given them up. Your slim, lipless minnow design is obviously something special, as demonstrated by the strikes it consistently draws from big lake trout. Congratulations on hitting just the right combination of shape, swimming action, and coloration. The highly carved, as-yet unpainted baitfish replica you crafted is a true gem, one that puts you up there with our friend Mikko in terms of skill. I hope you'll show it to us again when it's painted. Best, Chris P.S. Here's a trick I use to firmly clamp wooden lure bodies into my vise without damaging them. Just get some scraps of 1"-thick pink or blue Styrofoam insulation board. Cut from these a couple of rectangular pieces somewhat larger than your vise jaws. Use double sided tape to attach the strips of foam to the jaws. You'll find that you can clamp down on wooden lure bodies as tightly as you need to without marring them. As you tighten the vice jaws, the foam will, in fact, form itself to the contours of the lure and hold the bait surprisingly well.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope to make more! Great suggestion too! Have a great day!!!

[@Kawabunga900]

Those baits look amazing. Well done!

[@scottb4767]

Great job, really evolving into a skilled bait maker/fisherman!

[@AdrianGutknecht]

I think he should start uploading more I love his vids comment below ⬇️ if you agreed

[@jackchien3391]

If you don't want to lose your favorite lures, you may want to consider making resin copies

[@nolansbaits862]

That’s my plan. I already started the master.

[@barbarascholes5035]

Good video!!

[@johnrice4307]

Your lures are beautiful art, and your dead-pan delivery/commentary is hilarious. Don't feel as though you have to fill every second of video with inane chatter. Your saying nothing with a blank yet exasperated expression when the compressor unexpectedly turned on was perfect, as was the look on your face when you lost the lure. No matter whether lure making, video-making or fishing, do what you enjoy and you'll do just fine. Thank you for the instruction and the entertainment--both top notch.

[@johnrice4307]

You are friends w/ my grand-daughter. Please call me when you have a spare 5 minutes or so. (Am guessing you can figure out the number to call.) Thanks.

[@nolansbaits862]

@@johnrice4307 Thanks so much! Yeah I know Athena! I also know Ryder from lifeguarding. Do you think I could email instead?

[@costasnetwork]

I'm really impressed with your lure-making! Real talent in aesthetics, design, and paintwork. A piggy tail is a confirmation that the knot was pulled. I believe you are possibly using the easy-to-tie Cinch Knot? My grandad taught me to take it one step further, and do the Improved Cinch Knot which is as easy to tie, just one more step is required. No more piggy tails since then. 🐽

[@nolansbaits862]

Thank you! I I am actually using a even further improved clinch knot where you double through the line tie. It has been super solid with every application other than this.

[@marckimmerly8427]

I caught a 4 lb. large mouth last weekend with the lure you gave me. Keep on being a great student and lure maker! Time for you to catch one of those Cayuga Lake giant Salmons!

[@nolansbaits862]

That’s amazing! Let me know what else you can catch! Thanks and hopefully I can!

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

The airbrus technique must be a senior I like

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

THANK YOU SENIORS

[@xdxd7707]

I love seeing and collecting lures more than i love using them (because i dont have much lure fishing places at the moment) and all i can say is that you deserve more subs

[@tannernabozniak5196]

Tip: Attach to pieces of soft wood to your vice. It won’t damage your lures then. Great video. Glad to see you’re back

[@jorylyons6172]

Hope that you get back at it

[@Penner_Baits]

That’s awesome man. Too bad you lost it, but it’s great to see you’re making lures still. I too haven’t been making as many lures as often as I used to, but I’ve been forcing myself to make some lately. And I completely understand the whole not knowing what to say to the camera thing, which is one reason why I haven’t been posting videos of my lure making any more, it’s just too difficult to film and make the lures at the same time. Awesome that you are still able to do it though. Keep up the amazing work 👍🏽 (lol, I feel like I sound like and old man saying all that stuff, but oh well)

[@jagmeet97]

this is great to see! keep it up man this is some inspiring stuff! Any way to purchase your lures?

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

as satisfying as it must be to catch a fish on a lure that you built from scratch, it has to be twice as devastating to lose that lure / = at least a fish had it and you didn't just break it off casting or lose it in a tree

[@juejck4485]

Omg fish On amazing by 🇲🇾

[@snoboardsam]

Lure = yes

[@Wheresthefishadventures]

Love the video when you don't know what to say put a music overlay

[@lurefusion]

Hey Nolan just wondering how you are going thinking of making any new baits?

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

20:49 PAIN.

[@nolansbaits862]

Yup…..

[@AdamMiharaFishing]

@@nolansbaits862 have you played with the weight placement at all? I made something similar to this and used a flat-sided bait with only the top rounded. Horizontal tie. Centralized heavy weight. It has an incredible movement when retrieved.

[@terrywade7346]

Nolan come back and do some video's we miss you.

[@nolansbaits862]

I do want to! Times my enemy!

[@jackchien3391]

Lure giveaway sometime?

[@timmyfontenot7104]

Do you like the tungsten powder over lead? I am thinking about switching to the tungsten powder ,but was not sure how well it works.

[@nolansbaits862]

It definitely doesn’t work better than lead. But it’s much safer for me and the environment if I lose it. So I definitely prefer it! Some of them are better than others. I actually prefer the t-pow from amazon over the Alumalight.

[@LouisDech]

Where have you been ?

[@LeviVanSluijs]

Hi

[@lslure]

Hello,i have a question about truecoat epoxy,in what ratio do you bag epoxy.

[@nolansbaits862]

True co has instructions in the box. 32(x)/37 x= how much you are doing.

[@nicholasiverson5123]

what color shift paints do you use, what brand?

[@nolansbaits862]

They’re called Chameleon color shift paints. I got them off eBay.
