Ain't nothin' wrong with that guy no matter how many times he tried to jump and run off during clear coating. Looks and moves great! He's gonna be a big hit! Thanks for reminding me... I was looking to buy a transparent black yesterday. When you pull out the Oil Discharge, you reminded me that I already have those Badger paints.

Despite the setbacks, you made a beautiful lure. That would work great for hunting Northern Pike. Another great video Franko. Oh, by the way the Lurh Jensen crankbait that I made did fantastic in the water. I can't wait to paint and clearcoat them.

@EngineeredAngler I lack your skills for hard baits. Inspired by Larry Dahlberg many years ago to make and mold my own soft plastics. Watching you a may need to expand my horizons.

Perfect timing with this video, I just got a lathe. I've caught some Decent bass on a mouse lure. That stinks when a lure comes off the spinner.

Very nice Franco. Next one, use a fan brush to create a natural hair pattern. How I paint mine
@jurajanal22778 ай бұрын
Nice one, looks quite realistic and I like that you brought down the paint a bit lower on the belly on 2nd paint job, really makes it look like a real one.

Nice one Franco, that tail was a nice touch too. Have you tried the other style of knife with the metal body and reversible blade? I find they are way easier to get a decent carving with. Guessing you have, but thought I'd ask just in case. Anyway, top work at always mate, appreciate the work, especially given the mishaps!
@EngineeredAngler8 ай бұрын
Yes...but I find these small knives can get into tighter spots, I like that I can extend the blade, and just pop off the end to start with a fresh point.

Awesome action on that lure! I wonder if you concaved the nose a bit if it would push more water for more disturbance? Great job! May have to make one of thse!

Cool build Franco. I wish you would have done this 3 weeks ago as I just finished a mouse lure. Wasn’t sure what I wanted to do so I made a popper instead of a crank. I had an issue about what to use for the tail so I put a hammered willow leaf just to attract attention while popping it. It now looks like a mouse with a beaver tail haha. Truly a Canadian made lure🤭. Looking forward to the next vid! Take care from the white North. 🎣👍🏻🇨🇦

I think you called the crappie a “speckled perch” in your last video, or was that a different species?

Black perch, speckled perch or crappie I use them all interchangeably. Not sure its accurate
