The amount of work that goes into this just so we can watch a 21 minute video…. Thanks man, we appreciate you

[@natereed4115]

So much detail so much skill working for hours just for us to watch a 21 min video but boy is it a good video

[@charlieyeager3645]

Honestly. And to think of the amount he's made that are stuck down in the bottoms of places... ugh. He's a soldier for keeping going after some of those losses. Salute

[@sjoerdvanbaal269]

At this point these aren’t even lures anymore, they’re genuine works of art

[@erintoal2018]

Ya bud!

[@adventuresofamadman9992]

That's why they have the price tag that they have!

[@bobcatbonsai]

That is the truest statement. I can't believe he even sets them in the water!

[@064pointbreak]

Name one fish that can eat an arowana

[@kaidgorringe120]

I've thought that for years. Never ceases to surprise and amaze!

[@CincyFishDudes]

There’s nothing more relaxing and cathartic than watching Nate make a lure.

[@gateauderiz1316]

Arowana nanana. My heart is like an arowana nanana

[@lawrencejones1517]

Okay, you've just completed one of your most insane builds! YOU CARVED EACH SCALE!!! And it swam beautifully! I always look forward to one of your builds, and I don't even care if you catch anything with it.

[@brickmotion8471]

Amazing what you can turn a block of wood into. I’ve been subscribed for a while and I’ve tried making baits. I haven’t gotten the weight on any right but I’m still trying new things

[@george-bl2os]

Good luck mate

[@brickmotion8471]

Thx, I’ve started using leadshot from a shotgun shell and it’s gotten better

[@controlledchaos721]

You've inspire me so much brother I cant thank you enough. Was down and out over a custody battle case and your videos actually stopped me from deep deep depression. Im now carving baits like you. I go back to all your videos throughout the day just to see what you did in certain situations. Hope KZbin is taking care of you because you deserve every penny

[@BigDirtDawg]

keep your head up brother, it does and will get better

[@controlledchaos721]

@@BigDirtDawg thanks brother. Its hard at times but gettimg through it. Just bought me a basscat so im hoping a few rides will cure my situation

[@hammerstoneartifacts4986]

Thanks for sharing. Alot of people feel the same way you do. Defeated. It can be custody. Clinical depression or anything else that grinds you down...Marling baits gives me a minute to breath.... Be cool brother....

[@controlledchaos721]

@@hammerstoneartifacts4986 thanks my man. Was a long battle without seeing my daughter. 10 months and she was 1. Didnt know if she'd even recognize me when I finally won 50 50. I dont wish that pain on my worst enemy. Anyways yeah I flip him on all day even if I watched it already. Chill ass dude that makes badass lures and calms the world down. Lol

[@BasstinG]

Would love to see a Flowerhorn lure! The amount of detail you put in with an airbrush would work really well for a flowerhorn!

[@jclark2872]

Phenomenal idea.

[@skarapeacetalon2800]

It's so cool seeing Fin grow up!

[@williamdixon8887]

“That’s probably best anyways” rolling with the punches, love the optimist attitude

[@gregbudig5014]

The amount of artistry, detail and patience you put into these lures is astounding... and then you tie it onto a piece of monofilament fishing line and chuck it into some stump infested, muddy ass Iowa river.😳😳 You are amazing!! As a dad... though my kids are in their mid twenties, it still makes me smile to see little Finn... that was a sweet crane!! Think about doing a family Christmas video for all us old farts out there... I think it would be excellent!!👌 Take care!!

[@yvessultan6286]

A ce niveau, ce n'est plus de l'artisanat mais tout simplement de l'art !

[@braedentreon2838]

You have to be among the top lure craftsman in the world. The attention to detail and ability to eyeball measurements and shape characteristics is astounding.

[@taurbaby]

Probably the nicest lure on KZbin

[@AdventureIndiana]

Fantastic! The coffin lip was absolutely the right call! I was so surprised to get another video today! Bravo!

[@davidmattingly1574]

Glad to see you're just making whatever you want, both in lures and videos. It seems to be working reaply well too

[@akamiddlechild]

The beginning of the video was SOO GOOD!!! Reminded me of opening credits for movies, where they show random things happening that all leads up to the reveal of the main character. Great job!!!

[@cookie761]

I love it when you carve scales. They're so beautiful and so realistic......good job!

[@jasoncaudill625]

I can't believe how incredible your carving and painting is! Mind blown every single video!

[@gavinlewis003]

I remember the first time that I stumbled upon your channel. It was the "will fish eat a block of wood?" video. You go from literally putting hooks on a block of unrefined wood, and now this. You're just amazing! Keep on keepin' on!

[@Bloatedbark35236]

This is absolutely beautiful but watching you play with your son was just as awesome. Great job Nate!

[@kerrysanders6668]

Also want to say how enjoyable the end segment with your son was, and how alike you two are.

[@jamestboehm6450]

Yo, your skills and artistry are freaking amazing.

[@Aidan-qs8um]

This is my favorite build you've done. Truly is artwork

[@TheArtisticAngler]

This takes patience. To put that much work into one bait can sure get tiring but its worth it every time! Thanks for another great build!

[@whatchadoinwhatchadoin9415]

The detail you put into your work is impeccable.👍🏼

[@brytonwalsh5518]

This is absolutely stunning. Marlin needs a museum for these beautys

[@richardhoops5317]

Been watching you for log time. It's amazing that you still outdo yourself. The intricacies and imagination are inspiring. Keep up the good work.

[@golfincroc8473]

Who else wants to see a big flappy fin goldfish lure??? These baits are amazing

[@xLed_]

It turned out amazing, would love to try something like that for pike

[@aglenrios]

I didn't understand what you were doing with the scales until the last clearcoat, they look awesome. I also love those eyes.

[@kiloknight94]

this didn't even feel like a 21min video it went by so fast, also i can't wait until the first video you and your son make a lure together that gonna be awesome

[@millerandtheoutdoors139]

That ACTION IS DELICIOUS just DELICIOUS!!! I like watching Fin and you play, I’d like to see fin and you go fishing I hope you will make a video of fin helping you make a bait.

[@johnhorne7508]

Ive watched almost every single bait youve put up on youtube and this one is by far the most beautiful in my opinion. You are a master of your craft.

[@RyanMclain]

Well, what a welcome surprise! Two'fer's were proffered, two'fer was delivered. Thanks nate

[@530pat311]

Just in awe you are the best bait maker I have ever followed u just keep making me more impressed I love the time with your son parts he is going to be into big baits for shure

[@DOSHIELD]

Excellent work. Enjoyed the Finn cameo at the end.

[@brandontatum3203]

Beautiful details on this one! Your patience is remarkable!

[@powerangler3423]

I got exhausted just watching all this work. Amazing job 👏

[@TacticoolCraig]

Your boys words of wisdom made this video.

[@leehowell4258]

That’s an incredible bait and the action was just as good as it looks! Well done! And the clip with Finn and you added in was awesome!

[@Seridyn]

your son is so cute, every time I see him I am jealous and happy.

[@BigDirtDawg]

You’re a straight beast. Every major high end swim bait company should take notes

[@jackreeves3001]

Coolest sculpture you've made since I've been watching. Really marvelous!

[@John94709]

Your work is just insane Nate. I can't imagine how your skills will improve beyond this point.

[@roguemanoutdoors]

incredible piece of art. I expect nothing less from this channel.

[@aaronsayers6966]

Saw in your store this bait was for sale and now it's gone. Glad you were able to sell it man.

[@monkeysnott]

My Made it in life goal is to own one of your more detailed baits. That was absolutely gorgeous, I love this channel thanks for continuing to make content for us!

[@joesguiltyguitar]

Those fins look better on KZbin than what they looked like on Instagram.. awesome work.... I really like it !!!!!

[@DannoBanno87]

Man thank you for dropping this vid so quickly. Miss you every Sunday like clockwork but excited for this new style of Marling video dropage!!!

[@TheSwimbaitGrind]

Thank you for not giving up when asking why, you make some of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Your talent is incredible

[@TDMayday]

I loved the sort of “home alone” music at the beginning.

[@rypwilson]

Hello from Des Moines. From the design, to the detail and precision, to the artistry you are the Da Vinci of lure making.

[@romanch2]

Amazing stuff! 20 minutes of pure enjoyment!!!

[@Chokum]

Man another masterpiece, also love watching you and Finn hang out!

[@fedupwithem6208]

Holy carp, this is the second time I've had to search for your videos because they don't come up automatically anymore. They keep bringing up some other bait maker that I have never watched or subscribed to. I'm strictly a Marling guy...

[@wesneal7913]

Just an absolute stunner of a lure. Love the paint job.

[@DeChane369]

The wisdom Finn hit you with the wisdom, it’s crazy little man is what 2-3 years old saying “it did take forever but you can always fish the bait.” You’re raising a little Yoda over there, btw that arowana bait is absolutely incredible

[@mmxcrono]

I'm already re-watching this whole video on the same day!

[@melkbart]

Love the intro music. A new lure tale from the mad luremaker ❤

[@Mr.PeanutSteve]

I can only imagine the satisfaction of somebody asking “Neat lure, where did you get it?” And responding with “I made it.”

[@devinpowers4368]

Not just the best youtube bait maker but also an amazing dad. Still trying to get my hands one at least one.

[@TEDDY-ol5cl]

Just in time can't wait to watch this video we the people need "ONE DAY" shirts

[@hookreelfishing]

I'm always truly amazed by the amount of work you put it. But that also explains why everything you turn out is on the epic level. Great video ++

[@michaelahnstrom9012]

You make a ton of beautiful lures but personally I think this is the most beautiful one you have ever made. Great job dude!!! Love the videos!

[@kayakingfooltennessee1037]

Definitely art! Dude you are a master of your craft!

[@petereinhardt]

Maybe I really like arowana but it feels like you’ve really outdone yourself here. Incredible work.

[@winstonberghoef790]

Incredible well done

[@Stevebenzel]

Absolutely AMAZING WOW

[@johnwilkes4559]

Wow what a piece of art. So much work put into that bait. Great job !

[@xgcatx]

Awesome Arowana! I used to have the larger species in my tank. I'm happy you kept it a top water bait too since they are top feeders. Awesome job! Keep it up!

[@Bigwals]

@Pat Turpen Did you not watch the whole vid? He literally put a huge lip on it and made it a crankdown

[@Zeedubwhit]

Remarkably outstanding...you are the goat of bait making.

[@andrewbender8879]

Amazing job! That is absolutely stunning in its accuracy.

[@Motovation.785]

I would put that in my house as a decoration if I were you it’s absolutely gorgeous. Love it

[@bustabigbass6627]

Great workmanship...very impressed with your patience and control on that lure. Keep it up!

[@pinkgandalf4782]

Faantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!👍 We are now at 20 exclamation points after the "Faantastic". I added a new one for the 19th time! Next video will be the 21th! 🙂 Hope you enjoy! 🤔

[@mattpollis3537]

You're a wizard Harry!!!

[@owenspearing5282]

your son is a beast and so are your builds

[@rasmuskrmmer715]

Beautiful work of art 👍🏼

[@BB49]

Patience IS a virtue!!!

[@shitsngigglez9705]

That little thing you did with the chairs pushing your boy around was very heartwarming

[@rfindahouse]

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that in the process of watching this video, the woodwork was so beautiful that I got lost in a trance and just so happened to involuntarily eat half a bag of chips and two sleeves of cookies. My arteries are dead now, keep up the good work.

[@Panoslrf]

The king of diy would love this

[@richshackelford5793]

All I can say is WOW. Awesome

[@hanksbaits]

Dang! What a perty lure

[@garrisonh]

I don't often use this word, Fabulous!

[@octavioperez8338]

Simply stunning!!!

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

I love this, it looks amazing. Look forward to more aquarium fish .

[@verdakorako4599]

It's quite interesting seeing you make lures that look like non-native species.

[@arobles201263ar]

Talk about an amazing outcome!! Sheesh!!

[@SN-xw4gh]

beauty lure. and the music was top notch. gave off "ol' man marling and his creation seek redemption vibes" haha

[@tlegendz66]

The video I’ve been waiting for from you!! An Arowana !!! Awesome video my man!

[@jacobcastlebury2681]

I watched your videos for so long I feel like I know you like a friend lol love your work man keep it coming I need inspiration to keep making baits

[@ifnotnowwhen6914]

I'd love to see the chair pushing section with the Benny hill theme dubbed over it. Love the videos!
