Making a Suspending Crawdad CrankBait with Jointed Pinchers

[@seateaparty9656]

I’ve been watching for at least 4 years now and all I can say is I hope you never stop creating baits. It’s inspiring and I love watching every video and it’s been awesome seeing you become a dad. I watched you during one of the toughest times in my life and you’ve always inspired me with fishing and baits. Never stop making videos!

[@craigpearson6172]

Sorry for your loss. It was beautiful.

[@Daltonbrake]

That is the most realistic craw action iv seen from any reaction bait. dang man that's seriously good.

[@justinwastler2097]

This might be the most painful lure loss I've seen here yet. I can only imagine how it would be for the creator. My condolences. Also, I fully support and look forward to a resin version.

[@StephanGanoff]

It was so satisfying and so painful at the end...

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

the music is cool , I picture a medieval group of minstrels dancing and cavorting about playing flutes, lutes, and drums there in your garage while you make baits !

[@gooch_grease6964]

[@Hazmat1223]

Can you make a salmon with a skeleton head pls ❤

[@plzifan3773]

zombie salmon is a great contender for the gnarly series

[@johndixon5323]

Or a skeleton with a salmon head. Artist choice

[@OperationBlueberryExpress]

That’d be pretty cool

[@OperationBlueberryExpress]

@@johndixon5323 that would also be pretty cool.

[@bertrigby1886]

Been waiting for this for a long time. Another marling masterpiece.

[@makcatchem9614]

The test tank was the best thing you have made to date. Just wish the sides were acrylic/plexiglass to see a side profile

[@richiegibson55]

this might be the most heartbreaking lost lure...that action was epic, the stance of the craw on the suspend was amazing...as always great video

[@matthewreardon638]

One of the coolest looking baits I’ve seen made.

[@charleskissel162]

Literally the perfect color scheme and the best action, talk about a master bait maker

[@brosclan3594]

That’s close enough to a sand crab ❤😂

[@mwgillispie]

Great job! Always happy to see one of your videos available.

[@fifis101]

DUDE I can't believe how well that turned out! The action is soooo good!

[@terrinjanke9922]

I love the recap at the end of your videos of all the funny things you say. It's great 😅

[@mwr13131]

I love the action of that thing. Another awesome bait! Gonna have to make another...

[@fish2much12]

Bro!!! You are awesome! What an amazing build! Looks Fantastic and works GREAT!!!

[@rustyshacklfort9508]

I like the music it reminds of this old woodworking tv show I remember watching on PBS when I was a kid . I think it was the woodrites shop I believe.

[@jakeydeefpv]

I'm so happy that you put on the red accents, I am in love with it. However, it pails in comparison to that perfect action.

[@RickMahoney2013]

I had a lot of faith in that lure but thank God for Dr. Chip to console in I know his feedback helped you feelings tremendously. Make that lure again it will work great.

[@rayhall3010]

Very cool it looks like a crawdad , swims perfect

[@T-dub200]

Was not expecting that action but man was it beautiful

[@GDaddyTx]

That is definitely worth some extra Chip hugs for that one. As you say “On to the bait”….

[@DanRawkt]

almost bed-time here in germany. thanks for the bait-time-story 😂❤

[@RoloPnuts]

You never cease to amaze me with your non typical lure making, great work! 👍

[@Nobodyknows1948]

Much respect for your craftsmanship and your passion. Your videos are simultaneously relaxing and inspiring. -cheers

[@HadronWolf]

Dang that bait was just too good to let you keep it, like a unicorn in a myth

[@jwestphal890]

I dig the whimsical tavern music at the intro

[@chaseclark227]

Love the song choice at around 14:28. From there, great places to fish! Love your work and videos, always creative and entertaining.

[@ryanwarkentin4706]

Another amazing lure in the books!

[@RyanMclain]

Thats some world class performance you pulled from that lure. Talking like creek deer or creek rain shower: magical

[@marksmithson1414]

OMG Poor Nate!It was a beautiful Bait. It was so realistic. Hopefully you create another one.

[@KWIEF]

That thing had a freaking amazing swimming action! Go get that dang thing back!!!

[@herscheljackson2781]

A seriously beast of a crawdad.

[@devon762]

That was so sad to watch... beautiful work though. I'm crying right with you brother. RIP in chat.

[@bradhodgson1625]

Love that I was driving home listening to Matt Heckler wondering if you had a new video out only to find you have, and lots of Matt in the background.

[@hiddentruth1982]

the overlay music has an Irish feel to it. I like it.

[@mathewmcmahan5894]

Like the time lapse music 🎶 great addition

[@ogoe_joeoutdoors1088]

I'd be diving in after that lure. Heck, I've done it for a rattle trap, I swam into a swollen river just to retrieve it. I was rewarded with trebles in my hand but I got it back...lol

[@jefferyperez6775]

Always impressed, today more than usual.

[@MrTheBigNoze]

Probably one of my favorite lures you’ve ever made. Fantastic action on the retrieve

[@Negative--10-90]

This is the summer for the top water Pirate Ship! I can feel it!

[@tylerlarson8752]

That intro music was a very pleasant change. Keep up the epic work!

[@kaysea4325]

Another super cool wild marling bait, now time for the jointed weight transfer corky lure

[@Incandescentiron]

Very cool bait! I love the tank. It makes it so much easier to see how it works.

[@nickjahraus9780]

Sorry for your loss, Nate. On to the next bait!

[@chadjenkins4846]

That was one might be my new favorite you've made.. I wish I lived within a days drive of wherever that is I swear I would dive butt naked into that frigidness just for a chance to own it. 😂

[@barrychristy3504]

The action on that was amazing. Well done

[@F.D.O.T.S.]

Man, i love me some crawdiddies!

[@MadMaxx89]

That is one chonky Craw lol. Very cool

[@timberfallingcouple]

Really really like the dulcimer music in this intro. That is fun shit

[@Hue_Mungus]

I’m fixing to binge all these videos

[@alloutlures]

Love ur content bro!! A year ago I had started making lures out of inspiration from you and I know own a small side hustle called alloutlures! Thanks for your inspiration!!

[@isaiahtolo9819]

That was an amazing bait!!!!! you should make it again - that thing was sick!

[@sissonfaimlyfive5605]

Just watched the video where you mentioned making one of these in a "future" video. And here we are.

[@_Vigorous]

Dude, it looks so amazing holy crap well done

[@inthemountainswithmeachum3256]

Go in the water after it. I've Dove down 8ft to get a lure back that was store bought. I would deal with diving in 40 degree water for a handmade lure such as the more than several I've cringed at you losing. Especially when a lure like this one had such AWESOME action that I did not expect

[@justingodfrey3857]

Ouch 😬 I’d be so pissed, I’m glad you know that per trial there is potential sacrificing. Keep up the great work!!

[@puddlestheninja]

man oh man, I'd buy one of these! Great work!!

[@Wes12622]

You need to make another one of those and maybe a master. Such a sick bait

[@BarnOwlProject]

Sitting down at the Renaissance festival watching Marling do magic tricks. Music matched the witchcraft

[@PhilyEagles124]

A tear shed for sure on that loss....

[@markbuckallew4689]

I'm seriously thinking about moving to Iowa so I can follow Mr. Marling around with my SCUBA gear and retrieve all the lures he breaks off! 😂😂

[@jazzwhiskey582]

I think Gillian Welch and Davd Rawlings need to record a song for the Marling Baits intro theme❤. I love hearing them in the back of your videos.

[@boomer987987]

My brother in bait making You need to make a side series of "finally catching my first musky" It's been years

[@dab2556]

Man... that one hit hard. Lol you're definitely on to something with that design though! The way it suspended with its claw's up in the air like that... AND that crank!? Action city!! Looking forward to seeing it's return!

[@kellywingate7199]

That's my favorite so far. Keep up the good work.

[@BrownBaitCo]

that craw has an amazing action!!!!

I've been in bed sick all day listening to your videos because they're so relaxing.

[@lukasbrunner9959]

love the music in the start very nice choice

[@SFB138]

You should look into a respirator or a vacuum collection system at least when working with woods that you aren't familiar with. There are some woods out there that are toxic and can present health problems if inhaled. There are some good books that can help you identify woods and list any dangers associated with their use. Just 2 cents from an older guy that wishes he knew more and took more precautions in his youth. Love the channel and content!

[@Elijah-zd2qc]

this gives me the old marling baits vibe, luv the vid

Master Yoda with some more bait making gold 🥇

[@gregwright392]

Excellent as usual! You continue to amaze me with your talent!

[@POWDERNPELLTS]

You have inspired me to star making lures, I’ll be picking up all of your epic bait molds and trying them out in the lakes and such here in az

[@tenover4068]

Straight into it, I love it!!

[@chaseking1361]

I love that the music gets stranger and stranger every time. It’s so fitting too!😂 Also, that’s tough that another bait was lost. What a bummer

[@kellyoquinn6717]

That thing is perfect!! If you got a lotto in Iowa, you better by a ticket 😂😂👍👍

[@robertr4193]

I was working with some zebra wood once and it smelled the same as you described the reddish wood smelling. As I was working I started smelling the dog poop smell and sense I was outside I started looking around to find out where it was. I kept looking at the bottom of my shoes thinking I might have stepped in some. Finally I put the piece of wood I was working on up to my nose and figured out where the smell was coming from. You have some pretty good detail work going on in the piece.

[@santerigronroos471]

Love you from Finland❤

[@rancorrevolution2374]

That poop wood has ALL the natural defenses!

[@rancorrevolution2374]

Someone will have to go dive for it >.> that was a nice action on that lure. I would be so afraid to use baits after spending so much time on them...

[@RMagoon]

Keep up the good work like always. Can't wait to see the next bait.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@handstandmanstan4185]

One of my favorite baits you've made tbh

i cant unsee a frog face and he kinda looks like a seabear from spongebob

That might be one to try to recreate, and make molds of. maybe even like a through wire soft plastic crank?

[@okay7325]

I like your Saint Paddy’s day special lol 🎵

[@ClassicPass_]

17:39 the second you see an entire electrical strip loosely poised above the test tank... the hairs on the back of my neck will NOT forgive you for that! GG my guy!

[@Onix4x4]

scrolled down waaaaay too far to find this. definitely needs to be moved. been watching since the beginning and would hate for the vids to stop...

[@garrettmillsap]

You sure do have some great skills!

[@rypwilson]

I bought a $10 lure once that got snagged on a log and I was depressed for a while. Which is only a fraction of what it must feel like to put so much painstaking effort into a bait that turns out basically perfect and to feel that line snap. It made me emotional watching it

[@joelshea8022]

Amazing bait, I wish you could have made it official man. Beautiful work.

[@jaykeinnes6793]

I think the slow sink is very realistic Yet again a top tier bait and great vid, been watching you for years and it's amazing the level you've gotten to in terms of bait quality and yourself as a presenter, keep it up man Love from down under!

[@cayminlast]

Looks like 'Tambotie' wood from Knysna in South Africa, but maybe I'm wrong. I enjoy your videos, learned a lot, thanks.

[@AndreasChristouSaltwater]

The action looks so awesome man! 😂 your the goat

[@hookreelfishing]

Amazing lure!! But cold water be damn, I'd gone swimming for that one!!
