Thetruth99 wasn’t that the point of this video tho... he’s been using mainly poplar and balsa because they are easily carved and have good buoyancy but through trial and error he might just like cedar(my favorite lure wood) and mahogany better

Love the wood patterns in those baits. That is art my friend!

[@wesleyson21]

Nate, I have to say I came for the pure craftsmanship and art but I stay for your impeccable sense of humor. Never fails to cheer me up.

[@xTechDecayx]

You should build yourself a testing tank. Could easily be made with plexi and silicone. Look into diy fish tank building. Not a hard process. It would be super easy to record action

[@mrjonesy8344]

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he had one at one point for his older videos

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

the creek is the test tank

[@The_ginger_fisherman]

You should make a series where you create lures from random household items. Like broom handle, chopping board, wooden spoon etc. That could be fun

[@walkeroutdoors5984]

You should make a top water bait of a bird with the wings out!!!

[@zelda16596]

It's so satisfying to have all the same bait with different woods. So perfectly done!

[@tdowney36]

Me 20 years ago to my wife when I trout fished all the time: Honey, I am going to buy a new vise and start tying my own flies again.......it will save money! Me 20 years later still tying my own flies: no honey, there is NOT 10,000 dollars worth of feathers and hides in that tying desk! No those are NOT TWO Renzetti vises on the desk and no that is not a new2wt fly rod on the lathe turning, you must be hallucinating dear. Moral of the story, IT IS ABOUT THE PASSION. Don't ever quit what you do when what you do is what you enjoy.

[@FlyfishermanMike]

It's shocking. I've spent hundreds on thread and wire...

[@joemomma45]

Totally loved the fancy camera to see the action of each bait. So much better.

[@paulclare6589]

where is the bass wood Bro,that is the ultimate carving and decoy wood.very buoyant.i would say it would rate between the balsa and the cedar.i use it to make giant snake head lures here in Thailand.

[@jasonleclair7979]

Plus the video name just writes itself. "Catching Bass with Basswood baits"

[@josequervo9786]

I agree. Basswood is a great wood for lures. Plus it has none of the pine hard and soft grains that are so annoying when carving details.

[@oralbone..4120]

Started watching your videos a few days ago and you have quickly become my favorite KZbinr.

[@pauld9530]

try making a lure from pumice stone. would be interesting

[@travisbrewer4998]

😂 I loved the fun fact about walnut husk that quickly turned into “or maybe someone took a dump”.

[@jakeallen6539]

Been watching your videos for a few years now and it's been nice seeing your channel grow so much, since you seem like a genuine nice guy. Also your video have helped my bring my baits to new level. Fallowing you way you paint and carve has been a big game changer.

[@loboel264mag7]

I have changed hooks out on a lot of my baits over the years. Sometimes I have killed the action by going to the next larger size. Some dove a little deeper and still had great action. Downsizing hooks on the heavy baits might improve the action. On the high floaters running a big hook on the belly and smaller hook on tail will tend to get them down quicker. Lipless (rattletrap) crank baits done the same way might give you even more insight. I’m guessing that maple and walnut might do very well. One more thing that this old fisherman can tell you is that if you bought 10 baits the same size color and make of any of the commercial brands and fished them. There would be some that were special the fish would hit them on the bad days. There would be some that the fish would turn up there noses get a case of loc- jaw. Then there will be the bunch in the middle. I have seen tournament guys that would get out of the boat and go underwater to get a special bait back in the winter.

[@teamflanneloutdoors5631]

Legit

[@CrazyQuady]

Awesome, really cool to see the differences between the types of wood! I've been thinking about trying to male some lures over winter and this will help for sure!

[@jeffreylunday928]

I have used basswood on a lot of my lures with great results. Good comparison video. Very educational.

[@aboveaveragebayleaf9216]

It would probably be difficult to make because of the weight distribution.

[@wilektonyfishtanks3308]

Try to make a short and fat lure to test agents a long and thin one

[@realtimeredneck7229]

Love this video man now we know what are the best woods to make baits with

[@zigab.2883]

Use a floro leader so you will get more bites and a sbap swivel to get more action from a lure

[@BeetleBuns]

zi gi have you tried a loop knot? It gives even better action than the snap swivel because of the reduced weight, it's awesome!

[@zigab.2883]

@@BeetleBuns true but you have to retie every time you want to change a lure

[@BeetleBuns]

@@zigab.2883 true... I normally retie anyway cause I'm an ocd idiot, I kinda forgot normal people exist lol

[@tracegorum4243]

I just use split rings

[@davidsalinas5406]

YES!!! JUST GONNA SEND IT!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT!!!

[@JerkofAllTradesTLH]

I feel like the current is playing a role in making them seem less stable than they are. Current is simulating a faster retrieve, compounding your retrieve. Perhaps try this again in some still water, I'm interested to see. I like the idea of denser woods, so adding weight isn't as necessary.

[@richlivengood3021]

Awesome craftsmanship on those crankbaits bud!

[@mpturp]

OH dang cedar's the winner here? might have to collect and dry some of the local cedar and make some baits from it. Who am I kidding nobody's reading 8 month old comments

Nate I have to say when you post a video it really makes my day better.

[@baileybryant9337]

You should do a series about making baits out of everyday items like close pins l, pennies, you could use paper clips as wire

[@blackbirdpie217]

Clothes pins .. used to pin your clothes to the clothes line to dry. The old style might be best they don't have springs just one piece of wood carved into kind of a pincher fork. Some ladies used to make little dolls out of them.

[@sound_scapez]

Appreciate this video, a lot of rainy days lately here in Florida needed a way to keep active with fishing and making lures is one of the best

Marling baits you should make a human lure. It should be a top water lure and the humans arms move like its swimming.

[@byronmoore3892]

Or he could make the arms big enough to catch water and it could have action like the heddon crazy crawler. I think it'd catch fish tbh

I think you learned a LOT more from fishing and trying to fish with every lure than just viewing the action. I admire your determination to get them all done, if possible it would be really cool to see this with every type of test like this.

[@mikee3317]

Love this type of experimental video. Also, I was helping my buddy with a shed and he had some scrap wood left over, which he was planning to just burn. I was explaining that he should try to use all of it that he could to not waste it. Most of what he had left was plywood. This got me thinking, could Marling Baits make a lure from plywood? A plywood lure would be so cool since most of us probably have plywood laying around somewhere. I hope you give it a shot. On to the next wood!
