Contrary to popular belief, tons of guys hand make baits besides Marling. 🤷🏻‍♂️

As everyone should!

It's official!

[@katelynfoskey1232]

Please keep these kind of videos coming. I drive all day for work so I keep your videos playing instead of the radio. Love the long videos

[@tland498]

Yep stuff to do all winter make lures tie fly’s and load ammo 👍🏻

[@victorxavier9977]

Nice job on the chad! TW sells a photo finish wrap for lures that heat shrinks around the bait simplifying the final step for anyone interested in trying this at home!

[@jaxonhill7865]

Been watching Marling for a while now and it's awesome to see you take what you've been watching and the techniques and turn it into one of your own baits!

[@ArborGeist]

Got too many home re-modeling projects rn, but this winter, i'm making some swim baits! Nice looking bait, Ben!

[@michaelpasano8223]

Awesome!! Love watching you build your own lures.. Buying a lure making kit . Saves me money, so the wifey even backed it...

[@grizzlytx3103]

I love watching marling baits make lures and now you are too? I love it!

[@beccayaseen]

Another banger!!! Can’t wait until my content gets this good‼️

[@5rods5reels29]

You cant fish if you are in the kitchen or laundry room.

[@beccayaseen]

Bri F oh no i’m so offended

[@5rods5reels29]

Actually that joke was lame. Let me try again. HmmmHHmmMmm. Clears throat... Who would want to watch a video of you doing laundry and cleaning the house all the time? Lol

[@LoachClown]

you comment this exact comment on every popular fishing youtubers recent videos, so I doubt it’ll get as good as this

[@jayjohnson9668]

Busted

[@barryhowell9]

Love what you do! Keep it up! That shad lure will catch you a SLAUNCH! 👍🎣

[@bassbeasts1603]

Sweet! Have experimented with my own bait making as well. You’re spot on with the need for a “true” shad profile jerk!

[@DubH46]

This will be awesome!! Let's see how this goes down!

[@lynnh7694]

Your passion for fishing is incredible. I have carved a few baits out of 2"×4" wood which isn't the best wood I suppose but, if you put a wider lip on it. You will get more action side to side. Awesome video!

[@WET_TV]

Worlds largest crankbait. Good to see you experimenting with new baits

[@pj3p488]

Megabass Diving Flap Slap rocks when you pause it. Caught an 8.3 largemouth and a 10 lb catfish on back to back casts. Both casts I cranked it a couple of feet and stopped. It shimmied and they crushed it. Was quite a blast on 10 lb test.

[@jeffjarvie7223]

I think this is the best video you have done. It was really cool to see the bait making process from start to finish.

[@sandrafararre1850]

That is a BAD ASS LURE YOU MADE!!!!

[@pastmasters9591]

I'm a bait maker. And I love bait making videos man! As much as I like to paint I think that photo copy trick is awesome!

[@buckenheimer3]

It turned out very nice! That bait will get some big bites on the right day

[@jaydevenport7927]

Love the bait and lure making videos.

[@spartancraig6000]

The shallow diving shad rap is a perfect shad imitation

[@Vagty2003]

Love it, beautiful work Ben... I'd thoroughly enjoy fishing with it. I gotta say, you are a true inspiration to the sport and myself.

[@dannyhocutt8490]

You are good !!! God has blessed you as a fisherman ( say your prayers , he will help) ❤

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

This was a great birthday present (you posted it on my B-day).... awesome bait. Any jerk bait videos are great. I’m still very green with jerk baits any the more I can see you working them the better.

[@Jimmy.rigged]

Keep these type of videos up great job on the shad👍

[@bmassakah]

Awesome, I've always wondered why you don't see that tall profile either. Nice job hope to see some slaunches on it soon

[@joeker80]

I think it looks pretty badass

[@markpeterson232]

Ben thanks for taking us on build a bait 101, you actually make it look kind of easy. You got some terrific ideas rolling around in that head of yours 😉. Even though you didn't make a successful catch, you did get bit that's a plus. Thanks for taking us along on another one of your adventures can't wait for the one.

[@BWOUTDOORS]

BEN YOUR DOING A DAM GREAT JOB ON THOESE BAITS THEY LOOK REAL AND I KNOW THEY WILL WORK,

[@clooliss6400]

Great vid! Like the build vids. I love the way your explanations don't make me feel lost. Nice bait. Can't wait for more fishin vids.

[@chasebusenbark8386]

This is my rain day hobbie. Once tackle prep is done its creation time in the wood shop 💯💯💯💯

[@mitchellclark7525]

Love that bait and the tutorial on how to make some additions to my arsenal. Keep them coming brother.

[@heathergibson7507]

Another great looking bait you made!!

[@kristinel6352]

Wow excellent job on the lure

[@hashiramasenju4846]

Awesome job brother! Use the smaller bit to drill a pilot hole though!

[@romeomotorider]

Man that looks real, super bro! Keep it up

[@westchad80]

Badass bud glad make your own looks great should work well sweet design

[@glenncampbell9163]

Nice lure, keep on making.

[@crzysquirrel8035]

Good job on the lure. Quite inspiring. I might have to try this on my own once. Thank you. Awesome as always. Keepem comin.

That thing looks sick !!

[@joshwollman7327]

Love your daily videos for this 🇨🇦🎣fan.....

[@samuelwarden6285]

Well I was hoping we would get to see one slurp it but theres always next time. Definitely a cool looking lure. 👊👍

[@southoutmcknight3263]

Looks cool. You are good at the bait wood work it’s interesting stuff. Good job. I like the creative stuff.

[@sydneytomazin9974]

I love these bait making videos

[@baileyd1111]

This video was really interesting and fun to watch.

[@theresahoyt5447]

Yep...well done again! looks awesome love all the videos building or fishing all great content. Longer videos that are full of fish slaying or building a bait I'll watch for an hour. Great video

[@locodragon28]

Awesome build my man

[@SolarfallBaits]

Nice video. Heres a little improvement idea, I think your style of bait might benefit from a oval or V shaped cross section more. Also if you used a wood type thats not so boyant like maple or birch you will not have to add so much lead to make it sink. Adding more mass and distributing along the belly usually like you did results in a not so awesome action on a crankbait, however if your able to add most of the mass of the lead weight to a smaller concentrated area your going to have much better side to side wobble when the bait is not fighting a mass thats distributed along the lenght of the bait, thats why the action on your lure on a straight retrieve is kind of sluggish. that being said a "sluggish flegmatic wet sock" action might be the ticket when the waters cool down more and fish start to go on a energy saving mode and start to move like your granny .

[@emmettshippy6679]

Love these bait making videos. I'm currently in the middle of making my own deep diving crank because I couldn't find any in a crappie color then 6sense came out with one in two different sizes and now they're in my tackle box 🤷‍♂️🎣

[@wickedbassn]

This is super dope bruh! Hope you catch a slaunch on it!

[@chrisneal8734]

Amazing video.....I love your bait making skills dude

[@dkastil]

Great video 👍 .I would love to see more like this

[@benwatson4175]

Great job and good video plus I can see that it would work out and I would like to see more of top water baits as well.

[@poorboy_fishin5499]

Yea that video was cool. Im almost wantin to try and make some

Bait came out awesome! Lovin' these DIY lure videos man!

[@tonebassin2571]

Wow my dude that is some beautiful work. I love doing wood work so thanks for the info , im trying this one as well thanks again

Thats badass man!

[@flatheadbluesonchannle2429]

Looks really good

[@timejumper8003]

Looks Awesome!!

[@michaelalloway2736]

I think its a good looking bait and it should work fine

[@dylanpippin1975]

Nice on the bait it cool nice hope you can catch one good job

[@dalenorvell9080]

The concept is perfect. Pretty good execution too, nice job. Marling is the man for making baits and looks like you took some pages from his book. If Casey took this bait and made a 6th Sense version, I'd buy one for sure!

[@adamrewolinski1789]

On to the next bait

[@chrisseverns5863]

Would definitely buy a bait like this the shad baits are realy slim pickings and alot of the waters down in Arkansas have tons of shad in them this bait would be a great addition to the Arsenal

[@606OnTheFly]

For a first attempt I’d call that a massive win. Way better than I could do. Only suggestion I have would be to maybe use a vise to hold when you go to drill.

[@davecharmander1206]

Not going to lie that is the longest video I've ever watched I've been on KZbin for over 8 years every time I watch a long video I skip through it was pretty entertaining all the way through

[@HappinessInSeconds]

You should check out Marling Baits. His stuff is all like this. But better.

[@kevinwoolner954]

Good stuff , I’ve made lures from broom handles

[@ZynGod59]

Radical dude!!!

[@Jimmy_Capicola]

If you have a tabletop vice, put your shad in between 2 pieces of wood and tighten down in it. it'll make it steadier to drill into.

[@protatter7162]

You should make some micro jig/fly tying vids. I tied 2 micro buck tail jigs for panfish and it slayed all winter. I actually caught my Personal Best perch on it.

[@troyharper7546]

Awesome video MFer 💯👍 amazing how you can do that and make it look so easy lol. Thanks and you should call it the "shadilliken" bet its gonna be a 🔥🔥bait 👍👍💯

[@gabrielnavakuku6166]

That's some fine Whittling there, sir.

[@johnblossom8447]

To quote Flavor Flav, “Yeeaaah! buoyant.”

[@davidmann5583]

Well Ben, you're not Marling but it was fun watching you make that bait 😃. Make sure you post it when you do catch something on it though.

[@42588panda]

Man im about 15min in the video thats pretty awesome good job so far

[@sonofafisherman743]

Great video defenetly do more of these videos 👍

[@noyopacific]

You asked what I'd want to see, I would like to see you go to Fort Peck Lake/Reservoir in Montana and troll topwater lures along the dam right now and catch giant Lake Trout.

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Great work, if you ever start selling those I will be first in line lol, we catch a lot of different fish here in Kansas and shad is one of the main baits

[@adrianchavez6097]

can you make a video with marling baits where you two make a bait together, damn that'd be sick🔥🔥 I like that shad too and your vids👌🤘

[@samphilipp4997]

Nice job man!!!

[@douglasbunn166]

Looks great!!

[@isaacleamer2056]

That’s sick

[@idahok9trapper470]

You did a Awesome job on that bait Brother , and that paper and aluminum trick was crafty as hell . Love the bait making tutorials , gives us projects that we can do during winter between ice fishing and waterfowl season . Ordered a couple Milliken colored crankbaits from 6 sense Brother and am going to get a couple rods as well . You should do a rat lure like the BBZ Rat .

[@haroldbates7944]

Wish they were made available I'd buy one or 2..especially in threadfin shad because ky lake is ate up with shad this year so this fall ought to be hot

[@edemup44]

That was a great hand sand out! 👋 these lure making vids are legit 👍

[@chefjoelmann7]

Ben, great video. I like that occasionally your doing slightly different content. A very long video occasionally is fine. Enjoyed your creativity and craftmanship skills. Can you do a video on deep water bass fishing without electronics. Thx. Keep up all the great work!

[@zombitch125]

Nice bait man love it makes me want to try and make some myself!!

[@duphusruphus7511]

Great video. Like your approach to the lure design. Maybe try to have your son help you build a lure at some point. I realize he is young but you have to start sometime. Maybe a school project of some sort....

[@JacobBurks]

Should work great here on these Great Lakes here in Michigan 👊👊☝️

[@williamhiatt2565]

PUP THIS IS A GAME CHANGER

[@williamhiatt2565]

Finally someone is doing this

[@nathanbruns7053]

The tissue paper truck turned out amazing! I didn’t think there was anyway in hell that would work as good as it did. Super cool idea all around, I figured you would have put that front treble a little further back but it turned out well. Keep that up and you’ll give Marlin a run for his money!
