Excellent video. Really appreciate everything in the description.

[@MattLunaFishing]

You’re welcome thanks for watching!

[@Roboworm99]

Nice tip with the wire wrap for the back blade. Love the blade choices as well

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thanks! Love this spinnerbait. Has caught me a ton of fish

[@robertchadwick1552]

Great resource video. Painting spinnerbaits is not easy. I like the clean lead look. Great tip to tie the top loop with wire also. Thanks.

[@MattLunaFishing]

Glad the video was helpful! Thanks for watching! Really appreciate it! To paint them, i recommend a fluid bed. Tape the hook with masking tape and dip like any other jig. When the paint dries, remove the tape!

[@davidharris4030]

Yes for sure! I never thought of the thin wire deal!

[@MattLunaFishing]

It’s a big difference!

[@secretbassrigs]

You definitely have the best and most concise Do-it mold tutorials.

[@MattLunaFishing]

I try to keep it to the point, but some of my longer videos have done well. Maybe they need to go back to longer! Ha

[@secretbassrigs]

@@MattLunaFishing yup. Randy Blaukat calls them seminars. If you do memberships, you can do Q and A members only trouble shooting streams too.

[@davidharris4030]

Beautiful looking spinner bait! I’ve been building a few recently and that wire to hold final blade is a killer idea. One thing I might had to your viewers is always keep broken or old beat up spinner baits. You build up a lot over time and so you can reuse the components to build new ones with! It is unbelievable how many new ones I’ve made the last few days using older parts. Simply fresh skirts after that of course checking hook sharpness. Great video!

[@MattLunaFishing]

I always keep the hardware on the spinnerbaits i use and end up fishing and bending out etc.

[@CvC1167]

Hey Matt, glad I got to see this blade in action at Shasta with ya, a very effective blade indeed!

[@MattLunaFishing]

It did some work out there for sure!

[@christophershelton1735]

Thank you very much for this video. I’ll use this link.

[@MattLunaFishing]

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching the video and using the link!

[@OfftheHookOutdoors99]

Good stuff bro👊

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thank you!

[@ericgoodrich593]

Thank you. I'll be making spinnerbaits with a group of 5th graders. Pray for me!🙏😆

[@MattLunaFishing]

Haha well have fun and good luck!

[@MattLunaFishing]

Hopefully this video helapu

[@aroundthepit8146]

Great video and instructions, couple questions What size gold bead and silver beads, size of barrel swivel and size of blades, Thank you for the video.

[@MattLunaFishing]

That all depends on the wire size. Research your wire size and buy accordingly.

[@MattLunaFishing]

If i remember correctly i use 5/32

[@secretbassrigs]

Ever do a Do-it mold fishing challenge, where you only use lures you made on Do-it molds vs. Someone using whatever they want?

[@MattLunaFishing]

I have not done that. I’ve thought about doing one solo.

[@secretbassrigs]

@@MattLunaFishing it's all about the challenge. Almost like Fishing with Norm, but less juvenile. It would be cool if Do-It funded the travel expenses for a few challenges. I'd totally like to see a surprise Do-It mold modification or trick bait kick factory but. I'm pretty sure, if people stay tuned all through the episode, that also gives the algorithm a bump. I forgot the guys name, but he calls his viewers that watch every video to the end, the "100% watch squad" Give it a try. Hooksets are free after all.

[@secretbassrigs]

@@MattLunaFishing "Custom is always better" is a general marketing theme that should always be portrayed for Diy and Kit Customers, in my opinion.

[@jasondiddle4226]

I'm looking for a really good spinnerbait mold. I have some old school Do-it molds. I've looked at modifying a poison tail or grass jig. ORRRR.... I am looking into the ultra head spinnerbait or a bug molds mold. I'm looking for one with eyes, good weight balance and a larger skirt collar. Do you have any advise or suggestions for me.

[@MattLunaFishing]

I’ve caught tons of fish on this spinnerbait! I highly recommend it!

[@rfd10001]

Other than the wire keeper any other mods to this mold? Baits run good stock?

[@MattLunaFishing]

Not other mods. Runs good stock. I do make sure everything is straight after i take it out of the mold. If they are offset I’ll bend it into place

[@gustavomaciel787]

Good video. What gauge is the wire

[@christophershelton1735]

Also. What’s the average cost to make your own spinnerbaits? A guess would be just fine. Thanks

[@MattLunaFishing]

It’s really hard to say. It depends on what components you want to buy. High end blades aren’t cheap but low end are. Hooks are another one that can vary a lot. I’d say you can make a good spinnerbait for at most $5 per. Probably cheaper in reality. I’ve never done the math.

[@jasondiddle4226]

Ok…. I just bought this mold! I need to know do you feel that the owner 3/0 is adequate for up to 5lb largemouth spots and smallmouth??? Or now that you have made them awhile would you go with a 4/0? I want to order some hooks. I like to make my other spinnerbaits kinda compact. I really appreciate any advise information.

[@MattLunaFishing]

My PB 8 pound largemouth was caught on my spinnerbait made with these components. I think it’s fine. You can try a 4/0 and see what works best for you.

[@Sgt6217]

Does it run horizontally, or does it nose up on the retrieve? Thinking about buying this mold or modifying my poisontail mold to make spinnerbaits. Thanks

[@MattLunaFishing]

This runs great. If they run wrong it’s probably a component issue and not a mold issue

[@jameswerner612]

How do you make your skirts

[@MattLunaFishing]

I use premade skirts most of the time. There are so many good ones already available, that I prefer to save my time in most cases and buy premade ones.

[@jasondiddle4226]

Do you use the same hook in your keel buzzbait???

[@MattLunaFishing]

Yep! Same one!

[@ryangraham8393]

Where do you get the thin wire forms?

[@MattLunaFishing]

Check lure parts online.com

[@alexuser938]

Hi. r u from California, when i wanted to buy some plastisols and colorants etc. it says something like " warning P65" should i worry about it, i dont wanna get arrested or deported lol. Thanks

[@MattLunaFishing]

The p65 warning is on a lot of products. It’s a cancer warning. If you look at packaging on many many products it will have the warning. It’s not an illegal thing.

[@bernardobojorquez4232]

WHAT SIZE WIRE CLEVISES THERE IS 1,2,3,4,6. ALSO THE BEADS WHAT SIZE

[@MattLunaFishing]

Bead: 5/32 Clevis: size 3

[@secretbassrigs]

Can you make one in under 5 minutes?

[@MattLunaFishing]

If I’m literally making 1, i could probably do it around that amount of time. All the components would need to be set up and ready. 5 min may be tough.

[@secretbassrigs]

@@MattLunaFishing that would be cool to watch. Then compare it to a high end factory Spinner bait and the end, including price.

[@MattLunaFishing]

For sure!

[@Freedomfishingtuglife]

How's it going Matt Can I buy some spinnerbaits from you?

[@MattLunaFishing]

Thanks for asking, but I don’t sell mine. If you’re looking to buy some, I’d recommend checking out the 6th sense divine spinnerbait. I’ve used it and it’s good. You can save 10% from their website by using my code Luna10.

@@MattLunaFishing Thank you Matt I will do that.
