Will Fish Eat an Even Bigger Block of Wood?

[@kiahcsnav]

Have you ever considered carving a lure from a block of super glue and baking soda?

[@Pug209]

I can not tell you how many times that question has been asked

[@kiahcsnav]

@@Pug209 and here I am thinking I had an original idea😂🥲

[@larrypostma2866]

There’s no reason we couldn’t layer it up in an open pour type mold. That would eliminate the need to do a massive amount of sanding

[@scottkidder438]

I keep asking him, would be a great lipless crank.

[@gibawatts]

@@pastmasters9591 superglue is not toxic

[@josephikrawkowski502]

Truly these types of lures have such popularity and good reputation because of the meticulous and elaborate carvings and the effort obviously displayed in the piece.

[@oldmanfred8676]

👍😊

Sorry, but I had to catch my breath when I read your comment.

You should turn a chess set into various types of lures. For example a pawn crankbait, a topwater bishop, a queen jerkbait, and a king buzzbait. Something like that. It sounds awesome. Great video as always 👍

[@NikoMoraKamu]

and the chessboard for the end of the series

[@ericpettyfishing]

You should do a wood block, soft bait pour. Maybe find a good piece of wood or stick and make a mold. Maybe they would like soft squishy blocks of wood.

[@ericpettyfishing]

Realistic wood grain swirl would be interesting for color schemes too. Bark could make some interesting texture.

[@bbyakfishin4193]

Not sure I could do 16 hours with a block of wood. That’s some true dedication. And after the instagram post I thought I was going to see the making of your neighbors lure. Total surprise!!! Yet again another awesome video! Can wait for the next one!!!

[@EthanKPugh0318]

Dude, I knew you were a master class bait maker but holy cow, this is a work of art. I thought the Gnarly gill was one of the best but this? This is incredible. I don’t know if you plan on selling it but I’ll put up whatever it takes to own that amazing lure.

[@talldave1000]

The craftsmanship going into sealing the lead plug was some top level stuff. I've never see anything quite like it... I wonder of the amazement if he added a lip. Sadly, he did not put much confidence into it because he didn't sign it. : (

[@CenPapi]

3:37 You should try painting it up, giving it scales and eyes and the like but leave it a block. would be cool to know if a fish colored rectangle would catch.

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

They made fish from Minecraft a real thing?

[@CenPapi]

@@mahbuddykeith1124 I sure hope he does.

[@samTollefson]

There was an article I recall from an old Popular Science magazine from the 60s that showed a fisherman using all manner of objects to catch Bass, a piece of carrot was one winner and a wrist watch (without the straps) was one of the most successful! The message then, as it probably is now, is that when the fish are feeding, it doesn't really matter what you throw to them. Everyone also knows that fishing lures are designed to catch the fisherman first, and the fish second.

[@FiveBaits]

Oooh boyy! The block of wood was the video that brought me into your channel, later on into lure making and then into having my own lure making channel! My life has changed completely since the first time I watched that video! Thank you so much for your great work and the passion you give everyday to all of us! ❤ Sorry for my English, I come from pasta land!

[@joeschmoe1301]

What is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is that the block is square and parallel. As you know, bass can tell when wood is out of plane and they simply won't bite it. Precision plane and parallel is VITAL to getting consistent strikes from bass.

[@rfindahouse]

Just came back from a one week fishing trip, and here are two things I would like to say: 1. I think you should make a spoon lure. That would be pretty cool 2. A thing that I was taught while fishing (that you might already know) is that whenever you have a fish you keep your Rod tip up and that you lift the fish out of the water by grabbing the line, not just with your pole. Just thought that might be helpful! Also it’s my 13th birthday in two weeks and my parents are getting me one of your merch hoodies. :D Thanks for being such an awesome Fisherman and KZbinr (two of my favorite things)

[@Noit27]

With certain fish i.e Barramundi, keeping the rod tip lower is better. If they jump having the rod tip up will give them enough slack to spit the hook. Keeping it low will avoid this.

[@rfindahouse]

@@Noit27 I agree

[@typhoid77]

Lure Idea: Overly complicated wooden block -magnetic weight transfer -rattle with wooden plugs -through wire -everythings else you can squeeze in

[@MuzikMan2014]

I'm not sure if you've done this yet, but have you tried a lowpoly fishing lure? Like clearly these fish will go for anything, but how little polygons will achieve a successful lure? Also, side thought: PAINT THE BLOCK TO LOOK LIKE FISH! I'll bet that it increases the catch rate by at least ~30%!

[@SLG-jt1rd]

please do this marling

[@Luciferkrist]

Straight-up Minecraft fish.

[@theclandestineUtubeconnoisseur]

I'm disappointed you didn't do a fun facts and look up wood on Wikipedia

[@Blue_Collar_Hunter]

I’m rooting for the 2x4 next. Just make it through wired with internal swivels to attach hardware to. Like how the make saltwater striper lures.

[@kls2020]

When the big wooden trout swimbait craze hit California in the early 90's I recall hearing a story about a guy who was a carpenter made a trout shaped lure he dubbed "The Stud lure" because it was cut from a 2x4 that suposedly caught some giant bass.

[@gabecrigger2204]

I wish I could make a block of wood as good as you do. Just the amount of skill required to make such a beautiful lure is astounding!

[@patrickmcclintock7027]

Hear me out, bud. Make some kind of super nonstick mold. Fill it with baking soda. Then - stay with me - soak the entire thing full of superglue. Just a solid bait of that magic super-material. The fish will jump out of the water into your truck bed.

[@Green.Country.Agroforestry]

I never had much success with big baits .. 🐟but I can jig an empty hook in the sunlight and get a strike consistently 🤷🏽‍♂

[@speciesofsubstance6167]

Next up in the high quality, elite craftsmanship series: a prototypical bone, like on a pirate flag or something you'd buy for Chip to chew on! Really, we need to know how to catch a dog and a fish with the same bait.

[@fisherdude6893]

Hello, fly fishing guy here, you should try fly tying, I do it and it’s great!!! Please do it sometime. See u in the next videos comments!

[@near--zero]

not gonna lie, the original block of wood lure was one of my favorite videos, im ecstatic that youve created another masterpiece

[@calebz1448]

My grandfather made a jointed cylinder of wood with a top nose extending over the line tie making a nice chug for a smaller profile. Advanced wooden baits should definitely be a series

[@kennyoquain1467]

One of my (and I'm sure, many others') favorite parts of watching these videos is figuring out which sounds are gonna make it to the end. It's absolutely art; but, with fishing. Fishing art. Fart. There, I said it.

[@Madymoving]

The first one was the first video I watched from your channel and the inspiration for me to make homemade lures 😊

[@zmull9180]

I wanna see a Fork lure! Everyone knows about spoons and how well they work...but what about a fork?? I think you're the guy that needs to get to the bottom of that. Keep on keeping on fella! Absolutely love your content! Your videos and sense of humor really helped in a dark time. ✌️❤️😁

[@aglenrios]

I wonder if it dove if it might attract a pike or muskie. Your simple bait reminds me of some (less) simple baits I was given that were used around here (Minnesota) back in the 1960's/70's. They made of wood and have a generic fish shape painted half red and half white.

[@KlayJones]

I can't believe you caught fish on this - yes it wasn't great results, but I didn't think you'd catch a single fish on that huge block 😂 Another idea for the series - small dowel and big dowel.

[@matthewb8229]

I'm calling shenannigans! You cannot remember to plug in th elead pot! Blatant violation of One Day Rule 4, subsection 4-102: "Thou shalt not remember to plug in thy pot of lead, for it shall reduce the entertainment of viewers whence cold lead is discovered." Mind you, I make random rules up all the time.

[@maxkevin9508]

Next time. Don’t try to make a wood block lure with as little steps as possible. Make a needlessly complex wood block lure. Something like a weight transfer, plopper, buzz-buddy, A-rig. And see if that caches fish

[@yesmatlures4451]

After watching your first block of wood vid, i made my own block lure about the size of this one and it slayed the saltwater GTs. I am still amazed as to how the pop on it could be so good.

[@turdferguson5300]

Anybody that will give 100K for a boat will give $20 for a block of wood. Give it a catchy name like Blockbuster, get Bill Dance to take it to an over stocked private lake and promote it as the next big thing. It worked for Strike King.

[@Jordy_G_123]

It would be really cool if you could make a bat lure for night fishing kinda like the one savage gear makes

[@Steak_59]

Pro Tip: Don't put your fingers where you put them next time. That looks like a "Ouchy Owey (I gotta put them in my mouth)" all while dancing injury for sure.

[@dylandoesthingssometimes2045]

I still wanna see a lure that is just a mini fishing rod

[@OHCreekFishing]

Guess who’s back, back again… Day 36 of asking Marling Baits to make an ultralight trout spinner! Please end this chain! 🎣🤙🏼

[@Thepondguy85]

I have one and large mouth love it here. But then again fish literally eat anything

[@BassNinja]

Can you do a bigger rock lure then huh.....plus you look like a guy who likes challenges

[@mikeyfishin]

I’m taking credit for this video hehehehe. Another block of wood….we have come full circle and your bait making has entered epicfishal status!!! You rock…I dedicate my life to your service 🤣🤣

[@taylorwilliamson345]

Looks like you painted your nails for a KISS concert... also, this bait is called "Jenny from the block" now.

[@anglingthe801]

Video Idea: start with the block of wood and every time you catch a fish, you carve the lure down until you end up with a finished lure.

[@The1ong]

Next you should team up with blacktiph and go saltwater fishing with an EVEN bigger block of wood.

[@punkvisser]

For the not lure lures like the blocks. Trying a - disk of wood - pyramid of wood - hexagon of wood

[@CheeseWater.]

A lego fish for a lure like those tiny fish (not like a lego build fish) and Maybe make a mold out of it or just as it half or put a hook through the body

[@96vmm]

Next time do an articulate wood block 🤣

[@petercollin5670]

The real trick is to convince people to buy them at 7 bucks a pop!

[@goose9094]

Next we need a block of wood painted like a fish, also love the video!

[@TheYardninja]

Man, I talk up your wood block lure any time someone asks "Will fish bite this?" when all they did is buy a jig or some rubber worms

[@OptimizedOutdoors]

If my gopro dies the video thats being recorded usually gets corrupted

[@ullrangtheviking4412]

From this day forward, all bass caught on a block of wood, will be known as "Blockhead" Bass.

Yes fish only hit the lure because super glue baking soda, it really gives it a lovely tangy flavor.

[@heinkirstein8771]

Square faced chug popper..... gave us some awesome ideas ! Thanks 😊 Awesome vid

[@EngineeringHooksets]

Every time someone is going off about how tiny differences between specific brands of crankbaits are a big deal to bass I say "well Marling baits caught a bunch of bass on a block of wood sooooo"

[@CthulhusDream]

11:50 I'm wondering how you managed to smash every one of your fingers??? I think you need a laser sight on that hammer man.

[@johniDAgreek]

I want to give you an idea for a next video.. you start by a block of wood and you fish with it. Progressively you carve jt until it catches fish.( On the spot)

[@williammartin207]

You should make a lure, and then not paint it. Make a whole series of just wood grain lures

[@masongunn1884]

You should make a football lure. “Soccer” so a completely round ball into a lure ??

[@AlecioG]

Well I just got back from the adirondack mountains in upstate NY and finally caught my personal best! I always knew this one specific part of the creek had some monsters and I finally got one - 24 inch 7lb 3oz largemouth

If you made a corky you'd catch more fish in less time also I think your pours on a corky would look wild, also a corky is basically a soft plastic lip less jerk bait incase you haven't googled it

[@sports4life4u40]

You should make the worlds longest swim bait with the most action as possible

[@kiloknight94]

I’ve heard bass will even go for a leaf you should try making a leaf lure lol

[@maxxvictor1239]

You should paint the next block like a fish without carving it.

What is it that makes some baits swim on their side? Just a weight imbalance or is it more shape that causes it?

I love this! Reminds me of seeing the Budweiser can lures as a kid and thinking..."nooooo way this catches fish"

[@SavageVoyageur]

I still own one of those. I was about 15 years old when i bought it. My dad said it already caught a sucker.

[@olinnoren1429]

Three words on the table saw anxiety: Zero. Clearance. Insert.

[@softsouthernknight]

You should make a pencil popper (about 3 inches long) out of Red Cedar and you will really catch fish.

[@brycejuan284]

So ahh I saw a cattail and thought it was the bait so ummmm make a cattail lire

[@ryanreynolds3630]

You should do increasingly larger blocks of wood until you can't catch a fish anymore lol. Love the vid man

[@alf3071]

have you tried making a lure just out of a big and thick hook?

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

Love the olive green Savage Gear rods, amazing value. Also, make a through wire version and send it to someone who striper fishes un the salt or something!

[@robowen5791]

This winter, when you are bored, and depressed because the fishing is slow, you should make a tip up. But not any tip up, like a Rube Goldberg contraption with all sorts of intricate mechanisms. And give it a real nice finish like the old wood tip ups of yesteryear.

[@robowen5791]

Oh, and following today's theme, you can make a separate hillbilly tip up, which is just a block of wood with a Spool of line wrapped around it. Fish em head to head and see which one wins.
