Making WIDE Open Mouth Popping Bass SwimBait

[@zanderhibbets]

Dude you are so inspiring, I started making baits about a year ago because of you and even though they aren't the best baits It is something that I love to do so thank you!

[@lindsiekole3499]

Me too

[@stevephillips6973]

I completely agree! I started 2 years ago and have made a bunch of baits, mostly jointed swimbaits, and have caught some really nice fish on them! Painting them is one of my favorite parts of the build. Thanks Nate!

[@brickmotion8471]

Same here! Sadly none have worked correctly yet but it’s still fun

[@danielnystrom7310]

I made 3 baits, not caught on them yet, but it is therapy to sit and carv them

[@dovejoshua]

Same here. And I'm always letting everyone know who inspired me. ✌🏾

[@monkeykong6230]

Please make the googly eyed gold fish!! I’m never gonna give up!!

[@kalynm2004]

Yet you still held on to your hopes and dreams.

[@sarahmcglasson3064]

The detail you can put into these things always amazes me, no matter how many videos i watch. Thanks for all the fun comfy content!

[@totalloser23]

I LOVE that you love what you do. Also glad you’re able to get it done alongside your wife and kiddos. Also: My wife gave me a Epic Bait Molds gift card for Christmas, definitely going to use it for a Marling open pour :) Love what you’re doing, thanks for keeping it up for all of us!

[@iamjeffreybezos]

Love the family and cooking aspect to this video

[@johnathangelok2470]

I’ve never had one inkling of a desire to make a lure but I’m obsessed with these videos. Really like when Spencer comes in and botches some swim baits

[@treepounderbaitco.5153]

I would gladly buy one of the ones that didn’t work just to have it as art. Always wanted one of your baits and can’t wait till I see one up for sale from you.

[@johnrickards1908]

Me too man!

[@bradleysims]

Me three Isit weird I want one of the odd ones alike the Hercules bettle he did , I like his hand carved baits that are based on real animals and wouldn’t traditionally see lures styled like that , you’d rather hung them up over fish with them

[@a_dr3dovsolis739]

Gosh you have come so far I remember watching you years ago when you had a small workshop and no kids. I remember your dog always laying his head in through the door. You have become way more comfortable with your videos they aren’t a forced persona it’s really you. I love your vids.

[@codyosborne9307]

Happy Easter! I love that you're showing little clips of your daily life and family! Thanks for all the wonderful content~

[@EquipeCascoFurado]

Sem dúvidas o melhor canal de fabricação de isca artesanal que acompanho! Parabéns, sempre um conteúdo muito bom! Abraço do Brasil! 🇧🇷

[@tamarabuxton2516]

I concur 🖖🇨🇦

[@potatoteam6767]

Verdade

[@markd6430]

Your wildest dream didn't quite make it but your next adjustments it surely will. Awsome looking bait and paint job!!! Shocks pegs lucky. Great video sir

[@backwoodsfishin6027]

One of my favorites you’ve ever made

[@andrewzeager9398]

The paper around the bait to find the joint line was genius. As always, awesome work!

[@boglurker2043]

that heavy version might be my favourite lure you've done, it looks so good man good job.

[@lisawilkerson5671]

When my husband ask what I'm watch I tell him "Grown Anthony" and he knows exactly what I'm watching. I'll explain...you look like a grown up version of our three age old grandson. You two even share the same personality and interest. He loves anything fishing and trucks.

[@benschatz9954]

Flappy popping bass definitely has a cool 70s bass fishing vibe to it.

[@jonnygranville281]

That is freaking amazing. The paint jobs are beautiful

[@PucciBrando]

Just started watching your vids like 30 min ago. Then looked to see if you had an ordered playlist, the content is great. Keep it up!

[@sakfpv8444]

He's amazing right. I bought all the stuff to make soft plastic lures because of this guy. Me and my brother call each other when he drops a new viddy

[@kentuckybeardsman]

yeah he makes some great stuff. definitely go to the beginning and benge

[@novaenricarter705]

I can't watch one of your videos without itching to make a bait as soon as I get home... Amazing work as always

[@dylanmiller9266]

I hope when you paint Mike's lures, you still put up a paint video. Your painting is next level.

[@kipsimpson2332]

Towards the end of the week I start looking forward to your Sunday video. Living in Eastern Iowa, I figure I will start fishing after I see you land one (or some fish) in your videos. So, you are like my windsock at the airport, or plastic pop-up in the turkey, or beep from the microwave, when it comes to Iowa fishing.

[@Barkley1835]

Nice weather, a full grill and a day of lure making. What a nice video.

[@SBSRIVERA]

Awesome mold lure build, Marlin. Happy Easter to you and your family. Keep up with your build video.

[@Biggestmac27]

You’ve become part of my routine that I cannot miss. Every Sunday night I watch the new video before work the next morning.

[@kentuckybeardsman]

Happy Easter to you and the family. I think I could watch your carving sections for hours. something is super satisfying about it.

[@imjustsosweet4184]

This put a smile on my face today! Thanks for all the lures can’t wait to go let them rip out on my kayak 🎣 me and MWBlades hope you like your chef knife.

[@christophereastman4583]

Amazing details as always! I make ice fishing decoys and have now started to make lures as well. The tricks and techniques that you use have helped me tremendously over the two years I've watched your channel. Great work!

[@tylertripp4939]

Those are two of my favorite color schemes so far. Great job as always!

[@kedrickswain6509]

For what it’s worth, it’s still a fantastic art piece that any one of us would love to own.

[@acastaneda84]

"It will PoP!" Love your vids man. Brings peace and inspiration to a busy world and chaotic life. Keep up the awesomeness.

[@lindabell4892]

Oh I love the way this one looks! So real and so pretty!

[@hannable3871]

Happy Easter Marling family.

[@RagingRaven108]

Hey man, I just wanted to say keep up the good work. I've tried to make a couple wooden lures, and the paint job is so hard to do. The fact that you can make stuff so detailed is astonishing. You inspired me to start making them and to be honest it's a new hobby I enjoy very well. Everything from the wood carving to the painting. Keep it up man!

[@nakdu3936]

Completely underrated channel. The vibe you give off makes me feel happy and content

[@Tiare_vee]

Thanks for putting up content, especially learning experiences like this one. Not every attempt goes swimmingly, no matter how hard the internet wants us to believe. I love the channel, and I just started carving into some wood because your work inspired me. Keep up the good work, and I can’t wait to see this lure dialed in!

[@MikeParentLeap]

You’re work is outstanding.

[@punkin738]

I love watching your channel! You’ve inspired me to try making my own lures. Thank you for doing what you do!

[@402bone]

I like that mouth coloring, it makes it look more like early spring bass that get super red lips

[@larrymazzuca1313]

BIG BASS BASH is next weekend and I dont have any of the big swimbaits that you made . I commented then , but I really liked them and do wish they we re available ! Love your skill and enjoy watching you bring those blocks of wood to life ! Great stuff !

[@satanspitbull_5860]

Been having a stressful and annoying Easter your video has added sunshine to my day, loving this Sunday schedule. Keep up the amazing work Happy Easter to the whole family have a lovely day

[@Gambler_Games]

The great deal of satisfaction watching your videos makes me very happy

[@jaket110]

Such a sick video. Ribs looked extremely good as well as the baits. One of my favorite videos you have made so far.

[@mwblades6553]

They look even better in person. They are amazing man, thank you

[@jackbleeks]

love the videos so much, and glad you decided to not put music over the sped up carving and sanding. for some reason those are my favorite sounds 😂

[@Caladuun]

Ya know, I did that you aren't afraid to post the 'not a winner' videos. With the incredible baits you always make...was wondering about the challenges too. Thanks man!!

[@gamingpirate2566]

This is so cool I recently maid my own open mouth top water frog lure and I used oversized jigs as legs it worked great

[@vincentfluty5120]

I love seeing this pop up in my recommended. Such a cool guy, and so easy to watch. You mentioned a while ago that you should make a turd lure, and I'd love to see that 😂

[@castawayfishingco.6442]

What an amazing way to kickoff Easter, now I want to make a bait of my own

[@donkeytat2]

OH SO SATISFYING with the close up carving!!! ty for that !

[@tamarabuxton2516]

Haven't even seen the video yet, and HAD to say this.. From the thumbnail alone.. this has to be My Favorite 🏆🖖🇨🇦

[@slapurmom5667]

You have come so far since I first started watching your channel. I remember when you first started playing around with the jiggly lures, I was not sure if they would be as impressive as your wooden ones but the way you can use your wooden lures to make jiggly bait is freaking cool. Your two babys are cute, the way they were chilling in the window watching dad cook. 👍

[@shawndailey4292]

Wow... your skill level is matched only by your wit. Lol. I love watching a true craftsman at work.

[@summerobannon7784]

World's best bait maker and most entertaining you tuber by far. Love your vids happy easter

[@Alpdude]

Really enjoy the subtle humour in your videos haha.

[@hiddentruth1982]

one of the few channels I make sure to watch as soon as I see a new video.

[@timndel]

So unique, that even the fails look good. Trial and error is the best way to achieve perfection.

[@shadowshape100]

Love the videos man keep them coming pls

[@brandondirocco9816]

I've been making saltwater lures. I gave up on it thanks for showing the process, got me back into it learning a few tip along tbe way and they are getting alot better. All thanks to you

[@lvlndco]

Happy Easter! The good thing is those look so good they don't have to work, they just became art pieces worth having!

[@SharpiesERA]

I love Chip, what a beautiful doggo!

[@iramercer4535]

Have a great Easter Sunday marling! Thanks for the great video man.

[@sixthavexp.]

Always a good day when marling baits uploads

[@bradyrodes1757]

I have a lure idea. Make a bass boat buzz bait with the propeller for the prop so you can say "Its official, bass like bass boats." Love the content, keep it up!

[@CarolinaCasper414]

The patience for that detail sheesh a true craftsman

[@domesticatednubs4615]

Dude, happy Easter! This looks absolutely beautiful! I love your videos so much, they're so relaxing. I love the dad jokes too, it's really great

[@guardofmartyrs]

Thanks for giving me something to do with my hands, Nate. It’s really rewarding to fill the freezer with plastics you molded yourself.

[@scottappley2626]

“I have an aversion to sounding artsy “ Making a living being artsy! Love it!

[@iJacker]

Chip is the #1 most chill German Shepard I’ve seen ever

[@treepounderbaitco.5153]

Nothing better than a marling baits video to start off my day.

[@sifsmith6561]

I can watch you create baits forever. So, you know. Don't stop making baits. Ever. For as long as you live.. Continue to make baits.. FOR ETERNITY. Seriously though, your skill never fails to amaze me. Well crafted popper.

[@NolanLayland]

I don't know if you have any trout streams near your home, but I would love to see you make some lures and fish for trout! Cheers

[@rednekkracer]

I know I have seen it in quite a few videos but where did you get the stencil that you used for the spotted pattern on the side of the bait at 17:21 of the video?

[@drath5679]

Love watching every time. I think it's pretty awesome that even though to you they are fails you showed them to us anyways. And that you recognize you made a mistake and acknowledge that you have to correct it so that it will work properly. Too many times in this world people think that they can do something and they can't, and they refuse to accept that they made a mistake. And without acknowledging that they have made a mistake they will never be able to do it correctly. Bravo sir.

[@stevelemmon5405]

love the videos, keep it up and the endings LOL, Happy Easter!

[@CapnPink28]

Chip is such a good boy….love your videos Bub!!

[@kiyabcs]

I don't like fishing, but I could watch you make these lures all day.

[@dustin2919]

Once that bait is fine tuned I have got to get one. Looks insane

[@WarriorVengez]

How I've longed for this video! Not gonna watch it just yet, gonna wait for the kiddies to fall asleep so I can enjoy this in peace and quiet!

[@jasongraham5525]

I love your videos

[@TheDJBL4DE]

Good to see that you are human and that not every lure works in the beginning. Love your videos, keep it up 👉🏽👉🏽

[@SteveLurvey]

These getting clean!

[@paiger.9750]

Great video! Where did you get that stencil that you painted the black on with and the stuff you painted the red with?

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

Dude I want one . So good looking and top water popper are the most fun to fish with !

[@braxtonlinzmeier7932]

I’ve been patiently waiting for the next vid because I’m on spring break and bored thank you for all the videos.

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

Just saw the notification, gave it a like. I'll tune in later 🤙. Marlin you're the man, man. Hope things are swell in your neck of the woods.

[@DrGonzosCondiments]

you'll fix it soon enough. thanks for not blowing chunks and the bit with the ribs... made me drool just a bit. Enjoy your Easter and all the best.

[@Hucke_]

I really love your videos. Keep the work up man. I would love to see you making a bait shaped like a juvenil carp. Greetings from Germany

[@jonathanortiz8831]

Never a dull moment on this channel .

[@korensumita3281]

I have been making lures ever since I started watching your videos!!!

[@iparkedmycar]

Not every bait can be a winner, great carving work!

[@isaiahtolo9819]

Glad you are making some crazy stuff - even if they don't all work out, it makes for a nice viewing experience not knowing if they will work. also I bet you will come up with some cool stuff doing these!

[@travisschulz1565]

I love watching your videos. My favorite channel. I’m originally from Minnesota. We used to fish for Northern Pike and Muskee‘s with sucker fish. You should make one of those. With the mouth at the bottom. Then after you try that you should try and make a sturgeon. A sturgeon would be super cool.

[@bicalijd_pierfishing9652]

Beautiful beautiful bass 🎣 luers I love it

[@c-j2843]

Buying the first parts my equpment to get started thanks for all the tips throught the years. Also you should drop a place we can listen to your music, maybe on spotify or a playlist on youtube

[@lindsiekole3499]

The sound of him carving the wood is so satisfying

[@bbauk3207]

Another amazing bait! I have a few suggestions: 1 a dragonfly lure 2 (maybe) a squirrel top water. I have also started making lures like poppers and spoons! 💯 👊🏻

[@ahabsbane]

not sure how attached you are to that utility knife, but if you haven't tried yet, i recommend the xacto carving set (the 20 dollar one, not the 50) it comes with a few specialty blades that are useful, but for me just the red handle with a the large "xacto" blade really gives me the control and hand feel I'm looking for!

[@faynebriskfmvnmac]

Where did ya pick up the stencil from. I seen you use it on another older video and I ask then to????

[@handydudediyetc..2066]

great craftsmanship

[@GHOST_Hesitant]

love the Oklahoma grill! also you have an amazing taste in music XD keep up the good work!
