Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzbin.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

“Oh my honey, that looks great!” “THANKS” 😂 I can tell you’re getting more comfortable making videos, going from not talking to adding bits of humor and personality to the vids. Love it👍🏻

[@colbyknowles7482]

@Raleigh Denton same, it killed me. "THANKS" like pff i know its the bomb. THANKS.

[@XTheMighty]

I'm consistently amazed by your painting skills. Nearly EVERY video I'm like "NOOOO don't use THAT color you're going to mess up your beautiful paint job!" And then you show it after and it's gorgeous. "FLUORESCENT AQUA, ARE YOU MAD?!" Then you produce a stunning largemouth baby bass with perfect colors and I am just left with my jaw hanging open. It's insane. Such an artist, so impressed!

[@tamarabuxton2516]

A challenge for sure.. Good one ✌

[@jeffreyfickert4818]

So we all know that his baits can catch fish, but can we all take a moment to appreciate his art skills with the airbrush and matching natural colors. It’s really impressive how well he’s able to recreate the natural colorations of fish

[@Victor-xm]

Well I'm definitely a fan of the square hook hangers, ads a cool and unique look

[@loonatticat]

viktor kravets They do look cool. I would guess that objections are rooted in concern for strength, as sharp metal corners are more subject to fatigue and failure than rounded ones. Makes me think of the square windows on Dehavilland Comets. Realistically, not an issue on these small lures, but a legit concern for heavy trolling baits intended for use in saltwater.

I love watching you make all these bait and seeing if they work .When I'm bored I just got KZbin and start watching marlin baits.

[@williamhinnant3725]

Just like how you read facts on bugs, animals, etc... you should read facts on lures styles, because I’d love to know some facts on how poppers were discovered

[@auger8451]

They were discovered by simply watching feeding fish, frogs, etc. I dont know who discovered it. But it was just simply design mimicking nature. Like most baits

[@auger8451]

Thats the same answer for all baits.. Prolly why marling gas not said it.

[@auger8451]

@@ahti29 umm thats not what i said.. Apparently i watch his videos.. The reason for making baits, worm, crank, etc, is because fisherman imitate natural bait. No bofy said they were all the same

Come on, we need a alien lure for Area 51!!!

[@theaverageredneck8426]

I love creek fishing because you never know what your going to find, catch, or step on

I also agreee, maybe a Northern Hog Sucker patterned Rubber Swimbait,. I enjoy the inspiration. I am definalty entertained.

[@chaz7346]

But would be be able to test it out with pike? Does he live far enough north? Or am I just completely an idiot.

[@lanceharper2099]

[@sakfpv8444]

I bought myself some basswood, epoxy clear coat stuff, bunch of carving knives, and some stiff stainless steel wire because of you. Thanks. Now I'm an addict. I live in florida and fish mainly saltwater, so I'm making a topwater for speckled seafront and red drum. Its a blast. I've lost hours today

[@markbaker3528]

A 5 or 6 inch “mirror carp” would be an awesome lure. The variation in scale patterns would give a good opportunity to demonstrate some skilled carving 👌🏻

[@tylerguteres2449]

@@gexotic4668 Well, not necessarily. There are indeed topwater poppers that sink below the surface and rise up top during the retrieve. Such poppers are popular with surfcasters, where you want that extra weight to get extra casting distance with heavier surf rods (look up the Atom Striper Swiper, for instance)
