[@Flarexxxx]

Yessss finally brother its been years Edit: literally sent a screen recording of the intro to 35 people allready 💀 time to find something else haha, been making the cave cricket comment since the earwig was teased

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

That's awesome 👍🏼 congrats on getting a bait shout-out. Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@Flarexxxx]

​@@nathanhoveyaquatics oh im allready working on it haha

[@el_mosito]

time to find a new bug!!

[@Flarexxxx]

​@@el_mositoyour damn right it is!

[@jhulbe]

I admire the persistence.

[@mikewhitman745]

I'm glad to see another dog on the channel. I do miss old Chip, I've watched his video 50 times by now.

[@thomascary1752]

I'm 72 years old and you just CRACK ME UP! I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD! When you showed the "ACTION" in the tank I was dying laughing! Thank you, you are a BRIGHT in my lonely world. Sorry I don't mean to be a Debbie downer. But after my wife passed I don't have many laugh outloud moments and YOU SIR MADE MY DAY

[@KelseyDrummer]

His reaction to the action was priceless! I enjoyed it as well.

[@baitchuckin]

When you open up KZbin and see a new video from Marling Baits, ya know it's gonna be a good day. Thanks for everything you do Nate! Cheers brother!

[@veggier8362]

You’re reawakening my fishing addiction. I blame you for all the fun I’ll have

[@nghtguy13]

I snort laughed so hard I almost choked myself 😂 there was a piece of dust or hair or something on my phone and "fishing" had a "t" in it instead of an "h" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg. That was the best laugh I've had in so long. Haha

[@murffree7767]

I lure crickets every time I make a joke.

[@carsonhaney7888]

I’d love to see just a basic lizard lure! I think top water would fit it, but I know you’d come up with something good, glad to see more critter creations, keep it up!

[@clairehaney502]

A green (Carolina) anole would probably be good! Small little guys but very recognizable!

[@an_english_aussie3578]

My wife said her laptop was running slowly, and I said maybe the storage is full, and she said all of her documents are stored on One Drive, and I went “wh-hu-hu-huONE DRIVE” 😂

[@GwesleyKing]

I love that you're teaching your skills to your kids! So great! He's gonna be an O-fish-al baitmaker for sure! Great bait once again.

[@bhda]

It’d be cool to see an episode (maybe anniversary special?) with your top 10 … most fish catch’n… yeah; coolest looking.. top 10 best action, etc, etc.

[@tomasznojemsky792]

That blowup moment... thats absolute fishing satisfaction... flawless... your own lure... send it there... comment it and seeing it on the camera - BLOW ... and perfect hookup - SUPERB!

[@austinbelden5679]

I love crickets for live bait too. Side note, your voice is soothing and I commonly fall asleep watching your videos 🤣

[@johnharder5618]

Interesting idea I have started using either foam or rubber worm plastic for legs and arms The foam legs are lite and are glued to the plug body For a sinking crawfish plug I made a mold and have been casting the crawfish pinchers out of plastic But I add a strand of stainless wire in the pinchers with a attached #2 single hook I catch a lot of the bass on single hook

[@SkoJo712]

Awesome work dude! I'd love to see you make a northern pikeminnow, that's usually what I catch on the river here in the pnw

[@Scrotchkins]

I started a job in injection moulding last Monday. You're the reason I even know what it is. 👍 Pretty cool.

[@smacked88]

As soon as I started watching the video, my wife talked about how much they scare her, then that was a fun fact, love it!

[@artimusbranesample9072]

If you haven't lived with them, the "fear" seems irrational. They jump at your FACE. Teeth or not, an ugly thing on the floor that jumps at your face is STARTLING! ;)

[@robkoons1891]

Wow. You've come so far from where you started. This is a complicated and detailed lure

[@matthewgerathy2]

Hey brother. I really love your videos. I make baits irregularly. Just finished my first batch in 5 years 😞 😅 but your posts keep me interested in the hobby, and the latest batch are my best by far. I'm sure I absorbed a lot of info from you from my last batch to now so, thank you. I can't remember if you've commented on this before but the line tie on the cricket looked to be pretty far from the lip. The legs on this baby were big but I wonder if moving the line tie right down to the lip would've produced some wobble? 🤷‍♂️

[@bobpoulin8044]

Riverside cooking makes any day amazing.

[@skylaryoung3750]

I built a pretty nifty UV box for finishing the cure on my jigs, 4 60w UV lights and the box has a chrome vinyl on the inside to reflect the light. Cures pretty quick and no worries of debris or bugs 🤙🏻, lights are all wired to one single switch

[@laylend8632]

Oh my God you just made my day. Thank you!

[@SevenOneNiner]

Have you heard of a Rainbow Cricket? Their colors are insane. I saw one for the first time in my life out here in Colorado. I know you've now made two cricket lure videos, but you know what they say.. third times a charm!

[@gabesfishingadventures9747]

I just made my first lure and you were my biggest inspiration.

[@kayaking_bigfoot361]

One of the first 5000 to view 🎉 Love the baits and videos keep rocking it😉

[@Triple87]

Definitely rate the baits every time. Humans like charts. 📊 😂

[@michaelbondick575]

I’ve caught fish with green toy army men. You said it you can catch fish with anything. Cave cricket looks great.👍

[@MrGumoz]

Is it possible to make a bait completely out of clear, hard resin? Something like the hot plastic mold method pore let it harden, possibly polish it almost glass-looking, then joined with some form of light on the inside. I think it would be a perfect nighttime fishing bait and might possibly be super reflective under sunlight as well.

[@OragamiTobichi-bi6lh]

Looks very nice I love it. My friend and I always watch ur bait videos. We are interested in buy some of ur baits. Anyway ur the best and I want to see u soon cause I'm a major fisherman to. Hahaha. Ur the best and ur creative and very talented on making baits.

[@cole_peterson]

Nate your music taste is the same as mine. Ive heard, Colter, Brent Cobb and all the typical culprits. But RHCP just locked in😂

[@duneydan7993]

Superglue baking soda is back! WOUUUUHOUUUU

[@jamesvesely1984]

A flounder lure would be dope!Sideways swimming and all haha

[@MyMrFroog]

What kind of action would a soft plastic cave cricket have?

[@kingstonyang563]

Always a good day when you post!

[@LoganLittle94]

You’ve become my new obsession! Awesome stuff, every video! Any plans to make a RoosterTail? I feel like you could own that.

[@eskepan]

You should get a polarizer filter for the camera you use to film yourself fishing. It'll remove the water reflections and make it easier to see through the surface.

[@Unruh1087]

Big cricket is a great idea. You should do a psychedelic frogfish. It would fun to paint.

[@DerekPetersonLives]

I wonder if the bubbles are caused from moisture being added during the painting process In some way steam/air is getting trapped and forced to release. Just my thoughts as it's been mildly consistent, I wonder if a hairdryer with some aluminum foil in a wind tunnel shape would make a enough of a kiln.

[@AZbone]

Such a cool bait. Do a Palo Verde beetle next. They live here in Arizona and get to be 4+ inches long.

[@scottwynkoop4200]

As a fellow Marion resident and amateur mycologist, I love mushrooms. Thanks for spreading those spores so well!

[@AidanIsler]

Been watching for a while… appreciate everything you do! I’d love you to make a leaf lure…….. time for a real fishing challenge

[@Hunterman21-wy6vb]

You should make the michelin man!!!!!!!!!

[@SouthpawDavey]

Maybe try a mole cricket. These things are crazy looking I have them on out garden.. They will eat all the seedling from the roots up.

[@jflbrown5869]

I think a mudskipper bait would be a cool one they have some nice colors

[@DezandKelc77]

You should make a Golden Scarab Beetle! It would be an interesting FUN FACTS and I think top water lure would work great!

[@nuggetmn]

your lures never disappoint!

[@redsweekendwarrierchannel6682]

hear me out for a second...... three piece swimming godzilla bait were the dorsil plate stay on top of the water like in the movies

[@TheDeviIDogg]

You should do an old school beer/coke can style lure. I tried making one with props inside that spin to make a noise and some with BBs to make it rattle

[@darkmareiii4902]

Went fishing today using a storm minnow swimbait and got 3 very aggressive smallies. Came home to this video it is a good day

[@ClaringtonMusic]

I never knew a catfish could pounce so hard! That’s awesome!

[@Mattism78]

Stumbled on your panel via a comment on Reddit. You’ve caught a new subscriber

[@frachiascio5027]

OHHHHH THE PERFECT ENDING FOR TODAY😍

[@charlesbyrd7999]

Another super awesome bait can't wait for the next video thank you so much

[@luthergodwinyopp1248]

If u could use that and make a mold for soft plastics in brown. Like i think it would be worth redoing the legs to kinda flap Love ur content bud. Those ponds u go to are insane with food pellets. I been feeding these hubrids for over a year cus their just fighters

[@lawrence9217]

Like the fun facts. A lot of freaky on this bug lol😂

[@tobywagner7443]

I want the hat lol hell yea it's about time

[@rjmyerscough]

Hes giving in guys! Me next! Im having to go back to last video everytime to see the amount of videos ive asked for zebra pleco bait! Show us your skills that we love!

[@oxide_actual]

Also if you ever revisit. Topwater popper with this shape would be solid. And it would look like a cricket struggling. Especially since the legs keep goin

[@65FullMoon83]

That was COOL! A Cat On A Cricket Lure! 😎👍

[@zerofiveadventures9179]

I hope you can make a wooden (floating) jump frog, wobble frog or bubble frog that we use here in the Philippines and in some other parts of Asia like Thailand and Indonesia. Do it marling baits style. 😁

[@bryankerckhove6873]

Best bait for trout I've ever used

[@dantuck5552]

You should probably make a cicada before the year is out. Seeing as this year is so big for cicadas...

[@taylorbaker4019]

Man been askin for years for the lighting bug lure… u teased me with the led eye bait!!! Can’t wait!!!!

[@abigailison9750]

*gets KZbin notification* *sees Marling Baits* (most exciting thing ever) *slowly dies from internal fear of cave crickets*

[@hmongkid12]

This kinda gives me an idea. You should try to make a swim bait with a retractable hook where the hook hides near the end of the tail and when the fish bites, it goes up. Basically a weedless but a hard bait instead of soft bait

[@potatomanz6486]

This is a great birthday present

[@unknownwonderer667]

Marlin love the videos, would you do a wooden wake bait lizard with a soft plastic limbs and swirly tail ?

[@potatomanz6486]

Can you make a lure of the Australian tiger beatle. Please?

[@danielnystrom6117]

"even if it looks like it could leave the orbit" 😂😂 thanks Nate, i spit coffee on the floor!! 😂

[@nghtguy13]

Cave crickets would be one of the scariest looking bugs if they ever became car sized. 😂😂😅😅 They gross me out every time I see one. Lol

[@fishingwithscooter264]

My man is back!

[@adhdandme]

I’m gonna need you to make an audiobook on something boring like carburetor data sheets. To fall asleep too. I’m too interested in fishing, but I have fallen asleep to your videos. LOL

[@cubwolf4900]

love the vids also you should make a 5 inch minnow profile glide

[@10XBULL]

Lol, " it's a general human instinct to poke things" . I'm an official member of the " fuck with the fire club"

[@bustabigbass6627]

Very well done!!!

[@samphilipp4997]

Demo Ranch had cave crickets for days👍🇺🇸

[@haisyburner5603]

Yay new video

[@suicidalxsalmon8200]

I’m going to need the uncut full build video so I can watch and listen while going to bed lol

[@Antimabufudyne]

This might not do what I think or if my brain is just wondering too much but I had always wondered does the lip placement affects the action to a wide degree, let's say just right after the joint, would it back twitch more then the front or would it just swaddle out of control, but to degrees with this cricket's legs maybe this might fix the lifeless it had

[@paulfuller493]

Hey bud cheers from Australia. hey maybe make a lure out of the handles of Ur paint brushes u use . Just a thought lol .

[@moochington]

These things plague my basement (NY), neat to see how good of a bait they may prove to be.

[@william5125]

Have you ever heard of caplin? That would make a killer looking bait

[@jamespalmer4727]

I enjoyed the detailed narration about this bug. By the way, I also enjoy the way you speak to the camera. It is unfortunate that you did not use compound eyes on this bug.

[@krmulliger]

I love the idea of you giving a “_-fishal” rating to each of your new baits, that’s cool!

[@plzifan3773]

its finally here

[@HudsonUrroz]

Loving the content bro

[@jhulbe]

AHHHH BOB SAGET!!!

[@AdventureIndiana]

What if you out the lip on the back segment, right behide where it connects to the front. I dig it

[@justingetty3068]

I think this is the first time I have ever seen you catch a catfish in one of your videos.

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

i get these in my house from time to time - i prefer them to the regular crickets because they do not chirp but yeah they're pretty alien looking

[@izana44678]

its really awesome to se a lure thats a insect

[@mattnorthernmn2803]

Hello again Nate, day whatever of asking you to come to northern Minnesota and fish here!

[@grangusgong3993]

What did you catch the quillback on? I see them all the time whilst wading in creeks and have wanted to catch one

[@matthewrobards2121]

Yessss!! 🎉🎉

[@josep1538]

When i lived in south Mississippi they were in hour well water shead.

[@cylentone]

Maybe you could attach short rubber jig skirts on the sides to imitate legs but not influence the action so much. BTW: that catfish kinda looked like a big, legless cave cricket.

[@leebreaker]

I died at 2:14 😂😂😂😂 “Where am i?” 😂😂😂

[@lachyfish8757]

You should make the Australian Fish, dusky flathead. They have a pretty funny shape which I think would make a great video.

[@lachyfish8757]

There's also a lot of info for fun facts

[@Kieran-fx3jv]

Love you video keep up the amazing work

[@twolf1693]

I wonder if having soft plastic legs would help it with the action

[@cedricneys2124]

Make a northern pike minnow aka white fish ❤❤
