Making a CrankBait

[@michaelsiddle837]

More of a work of art than just a lure.

[@shawnkosloff8933]

I'm a hobbyist woodworker and I enjoy making furniture pieces and other wood projects. I also love to bass fish so I started looking into what it takes to make a lure. After watching some of your videos I realize it's probably not for me. The woodworking part is nothing, but I simply don't have that kind of artistic talent. Kudos to you for having that kind of talent. Incredible! If I ever did make lures all of them would be called "Midnight".

[@patrikback739]

The paint is for the fisherman. Not the fish😉

[@SgtKong]

You've come a long way with your videos. Watching back 3-5 years of your content. Liking the direction you've taken👍

[@spankthatBASSTV]

Dude this is "the next big bait" material, you have serious talent!

And that's how a $100 custom crankbait is made. Hand made work! Great video and your talent is solid.

[@toddcraft9377]

This video has inspired me to try my hand at making some. Excellent workmanship, skill, and patience.

[@royatkinson9905]

Your videos have improved so much since this and you’re an even better bait maker. Also the new logo is definitely better

[@jjmireles66]

Being someone who makes a lot of his own gear I really loved this video. You have an amazing talent.

[@nolansbaits862]

This is the first Marling Baits video I ever saw...

[@luckigolfer]

Wow, amazing paint job. Really great work. I was really hoping you would catch one with it at the end.

[@marlingbaits]

luckigolfer thanks! I fished with it for a while, but it's getting cold here in Iowa. It'll see a lot of use next year

[@julianbubner6170]

Normally I don't write any comments but your work is just amazing! Great job!!!

[@marlingbaits]

Thank you!

[@vinceabarca]

4th time in about 3 years watching this video. This is actually the one that put you on the map for me. And "knowing " the Nate that we all know now... there's something almost surreal about watching your older vids where nothing is said. Love it!

[@albow4oops5]

6 years ago, what an evolution. Congrats nate.

[@dustinpratt6560]

Yo!.... this speaks to me because this is way back when you were where I am.... love you man!

[@ulrichschmidt8422]

Beautiful craftsmanship.

[@AlexWasnt_Here]

Omg did I stumble upon a pre superglue and baking soda video. Shocked haha.

[@tonymayer4372]

Wow!!! That's a lot of work. A true work of art. I'd be scared to fish with it. Thanks for the vid. I couldn't stop watching it.

[@marlingbaits]

Thank you!

[@jisozaki]

This video was awesome. Great design, workmanship, videography, editting, etc. one of the best videos I've watched.

[@bullfrogoutdoors2666]

Hell of a job! Turned out awesome!

[@sandeel2]

Nice work.When i used to make my own crank baits i would use a metal spinner blade rather than plastic for the bib.This meant i could bend it either way till i got the perfect swimming action.

[@davidnicholson7428]

Love the paint scheme! Square bill shallow running Crankbait! I usually fish plastics, Spinnerbaits, swim jigs, chatterbaits, some Flippin jigs not much on Crankbaits. Shore fisherman and it's kinda hard to get out where the fish are. My daughter busted my Flippin Stick, but I repaired it with a new top guide. Now it's a 7' 0" heavy Catfishin rod. 1/2 oz - 2 oz 14 - 30 lb line spec. Gotta keep one of my rods and reels & box of tackle in my truck in case I get to find a place to fish while I'm out & about! Not many places like what Ya'll have there in Texas. I keep on tryin to find places! You & the family, Need more vids of Max fishin with you!! Reminds me of myself and fishin with dad!! Tell Max that I wanna see his PBs. He's gonna turn out to be a real good boy!! Ozzy too!

[@qmasterpenman4213]

Great craftsmanship, I like the use of the B-B-Q spit motor to prevent epoxy sag!

[@jesselugo6433]

I really appreciate your hard work that goes into making this crankbait 👍🏼

[@tennesseebassfishinaddict7934]

After watching this video I am amazed at you artwork and creativity on this crankbait and now I want to try and do something like this myself

[@marlingbaits]

[@davidstradtman8232]

Beautiful bait. Liked the format of the video. Seemed more of a ASMR but for we whom have followed you for a long time it was quite enjoyable.

[@skittles7001]

Truly an Art. Best instructional video I have seen. Thank you for the time and effort in showing how it's done.

[@anorocsirhc]

Dang, This was back when he didn’t talk. Awesom progression in video quality since then. Good on ya!

[@tjwilson3481]

Man you didn’t talk much back then. Thank God for fun facts now a days!

[@therealjackfisher]

Nice work! That's allot of hard work for a lure that otherwise could be bought on eBay for a dollar. You have passion in that.

[@Arfabiscuit]

Nice to see you back lovely work as usual bravo and thanks

[@marlingbaits]

Thank you!

[@bknn_ontwitch]

so much better without music, well done

[@peasantkiller]

I cannot believe you put that into the water! Haha. Wow! I collect lures and that is a stunning piece of art. Bravo, good sir.

[@QIBear-or7cj]

Going from watching MBs recent baits to this is surreal. EPOXY and baking soda? Oh how time changes us..... ONE DAY!

[@jacko6384]

Just started making homemade lures. love watching the videos learn something new every time!

[@marlingbaits]

Thanks! Awesome to hear

[@annedegand7934]

It is a incredible job, what a lot of patience , reflexion and weldone, my husband was a fisherman and he has find it excellent

[@matthewdacosta9216]

[@gshiohara]

this man is a national treasure.

[@Imwright720]

I’ve never seen anyone dry paint that way. Pretty cool

[@sergiovallejo8755]

That is not a CrankBait, Its a work of art!!

[@moralestexasfishing5583]

Sir,you truly have been Blessed with the amazing gift of craftsmanship.Its awesome how you've showed us how to make them BUT by seeing your hard work,effort and skills I'd rather Buy one from you.Not sure how to go about it but if these ever go forf sale I'm ready to buy.Great video.Greetings from San Antonio Tx.

[@brandoncarton3491]

Me: spends days making a perfect crankbait Also me: makes one cast and gets snagged Me again: gives up fishing forever

[@Squrrillyadams]

I’ve done that. Casted a brand new jig once and it got snagged and broke off. I went home for the day.

[@kevintimson6591]

Amazing work! Honestly I would have stopped at 27:17 and called it good lol.

[@ddselvig]

Excellent videography! This has to be one of the most well-planned videos I have ever seen.

[@karsonr.2782]

That paint job is pretty amazing

[@dadragonfireoutdoors5642]

videos like this are insperation, they are a big help when I make my own. btw, great music taste with the chris stapleton music.

[@marlingbaits]

dadragonfire outdoors thanks! I decided to leave chris in.. sounded alright to me lol

[@MrRamPride]

Absolutely gorgeous and beautiful action! Great job!

[@otaner2545]

Beautiful artwork!!

[@ethandonohoe]

Didn't know how this was going to turn out but hot damn! Good work.

[@thealicemonster9217]

Wow the difference in your video quality. You have come a long way. Great job!

[@coburnlowman]

I was intrigued to make lures as a kid. I'd use flat washers as the water lip to weight it but never could get the hooks to stay in. I'd use tiny eye screws and they'd pull out when hit but still they would get strikes and that kept me excited as a kid.

[@jeremymcguire144]

Hey man you know what would be really cool?? Doing a recreation video of this bait. It's so awesome to see how much you've learned. You know how you always say the 2nd attempt is always better?? Prove it lol love your channel

[@gregnuts20___97]

Would love to see a classic crankbait video👌🏻 love everything you do, keep up the good work🔥

[@peterstewart9376]

Dude this is seriously awesome! I've been into woodworking for a long time but I recently started making lures as well as airbrushing! Really beautiful looking crank bait!

[@PhranklinEspo]

Really cool stuff, I am interested in making my own as I like woodworking and am too broke to buy lures. Why does he dip in polyurethane before airbrushing?

[@michaelb1793]

Wow! Just, wow! So much talent!

[@fullstrutn]

fantastic ,I see before this lure was done you learned to use less tape and achieve the same results ,beautiful job.

[@ItIsReb]

Beautiful job, lure looked great. My only criticism is that I thought it was a little too gold, but that is my personal preference and doesn't change the fact that this lure is a display of masterful skill, not only in the painting, but also in the creation and craftsmanship, shown in making this awesome lure.

[@marlingbaits]

Thank you very much Reis

[@Frankallen12]

You Sir, have shown here nothing, but top workmanship and your prices for them, are very decent! Thank You, this was very entertaining. : )

[@marlingbaits]

Frankallen12 Thank You 😁

[@twiztedzombxbox3608]

Where do you buy them? I am looking for a gift for my buddy

[@kevinseigneurie9718]

I’m going to try my hand at lure making this winter! I lot the craftsmanship in every video! True talent!

[@albertmcfry6322]

Very talented, love to watch you work!

[@longnewt9516]

Has it been really five years this was my first video I watched from your channel

[@dboenish]

Saw the Leonardo's shirt, quickly went to the Marling Baits website.......sure enough Cedar Rapids, IA!

[@monkeyking819]

reminds me of when woody got restored by the toymaker in toy story

[@earlfuse3943]

I enjoy watching you make the crankbait. Very much so got to say you detailed it all the way never knew one with me like that. You really got Hands-On Skills. But after you was done you took it for a test run. Which I thought it was cool it did what it supposed to do in the water. I just did not see it catch any fish that is the biggest thinking about a lure when we go fishing we want to see if they catch fishs. Which disappointedly it did not catch a fish. next time please do a video where you are fishing and catching fish with your lures that you have made. Again thank you for your show.

[@pbassfishing]

This is amazing. I would love to start making my own lures!

[@mr.dovahkiin5335]

This was a pleasure to watch. You have true talent sir. Thanks for sharing.

[@blakeboevers7279]

I'm not Hating I truly think this is awesome

[@erickg3508]

talk about a roller coaster of emotions... it looks ok, wow it looks great, what happened it looks bad, wait a minute, it looks great, nope again bad, it's looking better, omg what's happening it's horrible, wait, what....no, no!!! okay, okay, okay, interesting, okay, okay, I am liking it... yes, keep it up, yes, yes!!! My God this turned out to be beautiful!!!

[@laylaborst8452]

[@hookedonthenorth9792]

[@thehauntedfisherman1792]

Love the homage to "prim tech". That there is sure fine lookin crank bait. It's beautiful man and it will sure enough catch fish. Stoked that I found your channel! Mind blown.

[@shaneoleary8849]

I just stumbled across your video here and wow this is amazing I wish you well with your business and hobby

[@beefyboi3282]

That looks very nice.

[@JaySims]

WOW. Very impressive. A lot of passion goes into making such a fine piece. I'd love to have a "set" one day for display. Keep posting the vids, loved watching this one!

[@outdoorman6018]

Thank you so much for the paint part of the video you showed me a new way to paint yellow perch pike and sunfish I don't know why I didn't think of that blue and yellow make green now I don't have to keep painting different colors to get the effect I wanted great video as all ways can't wait for the next video great lure

[@marlingbaits]

Awesome! yeah combining two colors for a third can make fading clean and easy. Thanks, and I'm glad the video was useful to you!

[@badbassfishing9974]

Beautiful layering of the colors coming from a background of model and warhammer 40k, I do appreciate the depth of color/pattern. I really need to learn air brushing.

[@lachlandavenport293]

I'm really glad I watched this.

[@marlingbaits]

Me too 😁

[@mikeangel767]

You should try makeing cicadas fishing lure the bass love those bugs 🐡🎣😀👍 make it a short lip diver that's my request please love your awesome channel thumbs-up

[@phillipimsdahl3563]

I love watching you work maybe we could get your wife to narrate

[@blinkyslures815]

Very, very nice! If you block cut the body it will save you heaps of time in the shaping process, not to mention alleviating the need to get fingers close to the bandsaw cutting on an irregular shape........

[@manuelcardenas412]

Sweet lure I would love to buy one!

[@latinofisherman4113]

I agree. I want to invite you all to my Spanish speaking fishing channel Latino Fisherman. kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=6bSxewf5BtY

[@karlwooduk]

take out a second mortgage or trade your 1st born maybe, i like how you said 1 lol, im sure there not cheap because of effort put into them but he fishes with every one after , dont think i would, i be too afraid to lose it, its more like art than something to use although it would work great at catching fish obviously,, very cool.

[@bearlambert2806]

@@latinofisherman4113 That is pretty low of you to promote the same thing he is doing on his channel but you ask and put a link on his channel to go over to your channel that to me is a cheap shot, using a quy working hard at his craft but you link yourself what he is doing to yourself on this channel should think before you just assume it is okay with the owner of this site to self advocate yourself to your ow channel.

[@BARRABAS1975ful]
