Making a Spring Loaded SwimBait

[@lucaschambers1394]

My 6 year old son politely requests “a dinosaur lure” keep it up man, it’s the highlight of our week watching you!

My dog is aggressively demanding the dinosaur lure now.

[@The_Mythical_Potato]

My pet fish seventh this idea

[@megarex8542]

I think you are definitely on the right track for creating something truly original with the springtail. I would definitely recommend looking into alternative materials, where it is installed in the body, etc.. Great video as usual.

[@MichaelGile19]

And a patent

[@Jadae]

Yeah, even springs have a plethora of types and tensions. Also weird things like torsion springs, etc. Not to mention tail dimensions and planar differentiations.

[@jnj7211]

I also wondered about the placement of the spring. Maybe putting it halfway in the tube and further into the body.

[@ElectricalExistence]

thinner weaker springs

[@brycealthoff8092]

There have been a couple soft baits that incorporate springs recently. There’s at least one company that makes a soft stick worm with a spring in the middle to increase the durability for wacky rigging.

[@John94709]

You never do anything usual or boring. Love it! I wonder if the action would change if you removed a section of rubber and just left the spring?

[@62ZAKA]

You could also do that with a wooden bait and maybe get a softplastic like swim out of it

[@johnmaynes7142]

@@62ZAKAow about setting the spring in a silicone mold and having it cast into a resin bait for the foro y section and then having soft plastic poured over the spring for the tail section?

[@hydroacorn8109]

Marling You should make some kind of dragon fly lure or a baby bass tail spinner

Thanks for another great video!

Day 74 of asking Marling Baits to make an ultralight trout spinner!! 🎣🎣🎣

[@SuperBigdaddy1234]

I think you got your answer after day two buddy 😅😅

[@TreebeardTTV]

I think you should try installing the spring into the body and having the end piece separate. Both pieces connected by the spring. Then do a thin coat of plastic just to seal it all together. Granted it won't last long, it could be an alternate way to get a crazy action.

[@logannewman4532]

I was typing something to this effect and noticed your comment. I think this is the next logical experiment for sure.

[@username975312468]

I know we've seen bass hit sticks, and blocks of wood, but what if you carved a hard bait to resemble a beast hook. It could swim like a crankbait, and the lip would be coming out of the bottom of the J bend. The actual hook could be attached to the eye of the "hook" even maybe a wakebait? Either way it would be one heck of a Hookception (I just dated myself with that reference, didn't I?) Ahh well. Love the videos! Can't wait to see the next bait!

[@Apolcalyptic]

Really enjoying all the new concepts lately!!

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

The test tank was an awesome addition to your workshop.

[@Ajax6154]

I just want to say how much I appreciate the first 3 minutes of this video! The music and edit… well done sir!

[@CuTsKarnage]

What a treat it was.

[@wiredjarl1556]

A good use of the new wood can be a rip stop jerkbait type lure, they are very interesting. Rapala makes one, it stops dead in its tracks once you stop reeling. It has sort of a double lip system, one in front and one in back. Keep it up man!

[@MIRADAI13]

Je te suis depuis la France, c'est toujours un régale de te regarder faire ces expériences de leurres souples 😆

[@rossparker4374]

That’s a neat idea Marling! Love the kick on it you should make some out of soft plastic that glows in the dark and use them for night fishing

[@royalblue4852]

I actually like your voice and narration along with personality and humour, especially when you come up with your own words they usually are perfect for what you're trying to convey

[@Matthiaskyriakidis]

I’ve done this one time but with a wooden swimbait. It actually worked pretty good! Love your content

[@rypwilson]

Hoping warm weather continues in Iowa. I am anxious to see more hard baits. I love watching you carve and paint.

[@jlmize1507]

Thank you for sharing how to make adjustments to one's creation during the process of creating. Persistence and Patience. You are a master! TLF

Great song choice in the first sequence. Really sets a nice mood.

[@allenaviation5746]

Cool video. How about carving a wood sculpin? Those are pretty rad looking!

[@kenrangel9766]

Love the new springless springtail keep up with your innovative ideas.

[@rgdayo]

Nate, I caught my first fish on a lure I made this spring. Years in the making since being inspired by your work. Otherwise the fishing has also been a bit slow this spring. Keep up the amazing work!

[@DavidDavis-OU814]

Gooood evening from central Florida! Hope everyone has a great night! Great looking bait!

[@thebassassin5507]

I literally gasped and woke people up when you put the spring in the mold. So perfect.

[@finsweninja999]

@Marling Baits As a Swedish Pike fisherman id say you were on to something with the first one, we have springs inside soft baits already but its only a small bit that pokes out of the body where you then attach a tail to cuz they make alot of diff tails to mod your baits with and also we have em on hardbaits too like a swimbait or jerkbait very efficient for hunting pikes atleast 😆 The soft one u made with the thin tail would have been way better if you made the tail thicker, always love ur content and I always go like damn that bass bait would have slayed the Pike here 😂 Keep up the grind mate ❤

[@lawrence9217]

Enjoying the artistic approach in this one, music and editing on point.

[@fishon8732]

The concept of pouring around hardware certainly has me intrigued. You could design a bait where you pour around the jig so the head detail isn’t disrupted by having a jig. You could even do through-wire swim baits with that style of pour!

[@iVoli]

Spring is upon us. A Marling Baits signature top water bait is in order. Can't wait to see it!!!

[@ericpettyfishing]

Genuinely my favorite channel to watch on KZbin. You rule dude.

[@Bevel_and_Bark]

I think you should make a bait that looks like the sungayan fish, it is a weird looking fish. Love the variety of baits you make. I’ve tried making some myself because of you!

[@mike1261]

Nothing like bait makin' and outdoor cookin'!

[@andrewroberts7385]

I love how creative you can be!!

[@thealicemonster9217]

I can't wait for the next video. I love your wood baits way more than the soft plastics. Keep up the great work 😁

[@goodyfinnndad]

It’s so hard to come up with something truly new and you seem to do it all the time. Brilliant as always.

[@datruth9650]

Man those scales looks fantastic man. Your carving abilities always getting better! Also audioslave, you and i got similar taste in music lol

[@alonso1489]

A master at work. I like how you switched the intro unexpectedly

[@patrickkuntz7069]

You should make a trilobite soft plastic. I've been doing a lot of fossil hunting recently, and there's some cool looking ones that would be cool creature baits

[@Boethius411]

I’ve done something similar. Not a spring but with a piece of real thin and flexible poly going into the lure and a heavier piece for the lip. The action didn’t change much, but the flexible lip vibrated so much if you scraped it along the bottom that you could hear it coming up the line. Sounded like fingernails on a chalkboard.

[@kevinleee3408]

Thumbs up always thumbs-up for Marling baits

[@atamagashock]

That final version had such an epic action!

[@caydencehart1927]

I would say i'm probably your biggest fan. I've watched close to every vid going on almost twice and always enjoy watching the new vids

[@frostbyte3767]

I’ve had this idea for a while now and I don’t know if it’ll work or not but like a gar bait or other fish with a long mouth where the bottom jaw has some springs that pull it to the bait but when you pull it through the water it comes open and is a lip Also great vid as always your baits look amazing

[@timeintheoutdoors]

Good choice on the new chest camera! You will like the Insta360 One RS. Keep up the great work. Love watching your videos. Tight lines!

Videos like this always make me wish I uploaded more, but senior years been crazy busy 😅

[@artohippula1991]

Your work is very brillant to follow, very amusing, sometimes we just can think things wrongly..

[@djDTOUR]

Encasing a spring in grease is how they make those rotary dampers for those cool old calculators where you press a button and it opens and sits up all cool-like. I assume the plastisol would have even more of a stiffening effect on the spring. Try using a much lighter spring or a piece of piano wire to see if you can get that tail to move like you want it to.

[@tubetrollin]

Try that thing weightless like a fluke, I have a feeling it'll be deadly on the fall 😊 Rad video, bud!

[@tomasznojemsky792]

god just how perfect is that big mouth crank when you are aplying thiple coat... love on the first sight !

[@jesseboyden3119]

Your channel is like asmr. Its relaxing and comforting in a way lol. Maybe its just kuz i love fishing tho

[@JesseSVSmith]

Love the split design that the spring brought forth. Make it easier to swap different tails into a body style that ya like. Keep up good work dude

[@coltonyancey7412]

I think it would be cool to see you build off your egg crank baits. The action on those were crazy and if you could do fish patterns and carve a little detail in them that’d be sick

[@thomascary1752]

Have you thought about using a lighter spring? They make very soft springs that I'm sure will work

[@garyadams7519]

[@wickdghost3639]

I've thought about making a crank bait with a springy lip, have it on a hingle with a thin, leaf spring type of spring behind it so depending on how hard you crank it, will determine the angle of the lip. Feel free to give it a try 👍💪

[@darkiee69]

Look at Abu garcias Hi-Lo wobbler. Granted, its lip doesn't move with the speed of the retrieve, you change it manually to the desired depth.

[@wickdghost3639]

@@darkiee69 yeah I seen those, but what about when you have spots that are shallow and deep in a single retrieve? That's why I thought about the sprung lip 👍

Well, you can tell Spring is coming, BBQ's and Chip shedding. The spring thingy was thinking out the the box. Too bad it didn't work. Ok baits. Hmmm. How about a few fishing videos of what you've made this last winter so we can see how well some of these work. Or mix up fishing with the new hard baits. Cheers. Oh, liked the music.

[@G.FLures]

I just noticed that we have the same model of smoker. Nice lure also

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

[@jethrow6670]

Man I loved the music in the beginning!

[@RedTailFishing]

Chips like " I'm not sure what an outro is but I know what an outside is!" 😂 great video as always 👌🏽 a little less plastic in between the body and tail, leaving the spring exposed a little would help with the action? A crazy crawler for some top water action!

[@zinuou]

Maybe create a gizzard Shad glide? Love seeing your hard work pay off in beautiful baits and great content, soo let’s see the most beautiful ultra realistic shad glide. But ofc whatever you end up doing it’s going to be great to watch!!!

[@jadabray9758]

With the new wood you should make a top water lizard or snake that has a realistic swim action. Would love to see how one of those would turn out. Keep up the good work, love these videos.

[@capfit]

Good job Marling good lure

[@physiker2001]

I'd love to see another go at the chatter-baits that you lost before being able to use them. Improve their rigidy and apply new stuff you learned in the two years from then to now.

[@johnr8915]

God i love these notifications

[@badmonkey0001]

Putting all of that material around the spring just locks the coils of the spring in place and stiffens it. You've basically put cushions between the coils. A spring needs the coils free allow compression between them. I agree with the others that a two-piece bait would work better with a spring. Interesting idea though - I think you can refine it. Spring wire (uncoiled) may be a better choice for both strength and movement.

[@bigjohngreene6202]

Where is the best place to get stuff for beginning soft plastic bate making

[@Hades-Abyss]

Take four big blocks and make a huge swimbait or even mold it. Love the channel keep them coming.

[@Deadly_DoRight]

You know if they were all winners these videos would have no suspense. And you learn more from failures anyway. Looking forward to more baits!

[@FarFromEngineering]

I like how you experiment with your editing recently. I think you can afford it.

[@matthew4878]

Nice spring sound effect

[@ajvantonder]

Great Video. The plastic inside the spring is what takes the motion away (basically holding the spring straight). Maybe securing the spring into the body and tail only will help but can easily rip out.... Idea for next video: Do a top water frog with two paddle tail legs at the back....

[@collinswisher2512]

I love your videos! Maybe try doing a mirror carp with the new tupilo wood. Keep up the good work

[@ryanbuss2498]

Chip has my vote for the next bait.

The next wood bait I think you should make with that shipment of wood , ( a long leg prawn shrimp ) ?

[@nickvodopija7017]

I love the music at the beginning of this video. Made me feel weird, but in kind of a good way

[@PackedCandy]

Cool concept for a fishing lure

[@exploringt.h.c.440]

You should do a live stream; the audience gives suggestions for bait you have to make in 10 minutes. Each viewer can suggest three different items to use .

[@The_Reel_Campesino]

You should try stretching out the spring...I think that would reduce its rigidity and give it more action. Worth a try.

[@spacepotatoes4137]

You should try make a lure that whistles through the air when you cast. I made one a while back and it was really fun to fish with!

[@charleshamby575]

The harder plastic one looked like a chatter bait backwards lol very cool

[@miodragherceg300]

I woud never come up with that idea to make a spring luer so creative, and I'am guesing that you are going to make a musky zombi luer

[@10XBULL]

That was the perfect bait making music ever. And please don't give up on the spring. Maybe you just need to downsize the gauge of wire. I'm absolutely positive you can buy springs with similar diameter but far less rigidity.

[@jeremiahkari7615]

You make a burbot bait! Criminally underrated fish with cool color schemes

[@z-manoutdoors5282]

Here's an Idea... Maybe soft plastic versions of hard lures, example... Crank Baits, Rattle Traps, Jerk lures floating walking lures... id love to see your spin and ideas with those in mind. 💪🏾

[@bjcox6695]

Awesome work, Nate! I'm with the handful of others that've noted the plastic around the spring is likely limiting its ability to compress/contribute to the bait's action; maybe a two-piece as others have mentioned would do the trick (no idea how you'd pour that), or you could try using springwire (no coils 🤙) or cutting a spring so you have pointy ends, and doing something like z-man's TRD spinZ but with a flappy tail?

[@fishinmaffick]

Always hyped to see a new vid pop up, also i recommend the song Huskies & Husqvarna by Tim Hus (keep hearin country in the back of your vids) :)
