Next level lure making | let's make a Ginormous pike swimbait.

[@jontaylor815]

Its an honor and a privilege to be the owner of this miraculous bait. Second to none!

[@GHuber-xh5vv]

The size of that lure is the size of pikes we quite often take home for dinner. You did a hell of a job making that lure. Absolutely great.

[@SolarfallBaits]

Same here lol

[@matthewb8229]

You're not the only one! It's larger than pretty much ANY fish I've ever caught...and I'm not upset by that. At all. Okay, maybe a little...

[@karlbradley4611]

Fantastic work on the giant pike swimbait. Paint job is unreal 👌

[@MadLuresYT]

I was thinking this build was insane while watching the video, then i've saw you HAND CARVE TRILLIONS OF SCALES into it.Speechless.

[@BrownBaitCo]

I think this is my favorite video on youtube EVER! Your attention to detail, painting skills, and carving skills just leave me speechless. It is a beautiful piece of functioning art Mikko!

[@kurzhaarguy]

Mikko, I have watched silently for a long time. This SHOULD leave me speechless. Alas, I have to shout this one out: BRILLIANT! From a Northman who appreciates the beauty, thank you for your generosity.

[@timndel]

Wow, man. Just wow. I'm blown away by the realism- and the action.

[@mountainhobbit1971]

your attention to detail and your patience in following through getting all those little details done is awe inspiring! incredible. thank you, this is a beautiful piece.

[@John94709]

This is one I've been looking forward to seeing since the teaser video. Just incredible work as always Mikko!

[@coryelharger9089]

Hell yes! My favorite lure maker back at it. Been waiting on this one!

[@Jerkbaitful]

I don't know how someone would ever top this. And I'm not just talking about fishing lures. Amazing!!

[@SolarfallBaits]

I'm sure somebody will, could be even me, I have some plans already cooking 😉

[@dirkvannieuwenhove]

Superbly done! I really love the idea of using discs of the same wood type to seal the lead holes to make them blend into the blank. Truly well done! 👏👏👏

[@cuthbertdingleberry2325]

Breathtaking. Absolutely stunning. You sir, are a very talented individual… Can’t imagine how much you charged for that piece. Whatever it was, it wasn’t enough!

[@SolarfallBaits]

Thanks, im still pretty stoked how it turned out.

[@bonsaiman75]

This is like painting the Mona Lisa and putting some hooks on it and calling it a lure. 😂 Beautiful Work!!

[@SideHustleGarageSwimbaits]

That's totally amazing! Detail is always next level with you!

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

[@stevendonaghy1423]

You have to be pretty proud of how this one turned out. Love it

[@ClaytonDarwin]

Pretty cool lure. Great job, Mikko.

[@silversurfer9846]

Hej Mikko, you made an awesome piece of art. Wonderful paintjob and so many details. Best moment is, when the epoxy is applied and the colors starts to live...

[@sacpig6839]

Amazing work Mikko!!! Let's get some 3d printed gears for ya hahaha

[@arnauddelaloche8566]

impressive work, amazing result !! masterpiece

[@dantejaiudijr-gk9st]

You've done a terrific job on this project. Your attention to detail is phenomenal. Outstanding work!Instead of using this lure, You should mount it and hang it somewhere. Unreal. 🧐🌲👍

[@SolarfallBaits]

The customer has it mounted in his office

[@dantejaiudijr-gk9st]

@@SolarfallBaits Your work speaks with detail. Great video!🧐🌲👍

[@juttakutschick8499]

Awesome! The lure looks incredible good. Its fascinate me... I think i should start to make some lures too. Really inspiring. Thank you.

[@rikardfriberg9529]

Amazing craftsmanship!! When do we see the epic solar/marlin bait collab? I think I am gonna harass you two until you make it happen...

[@PatLures]

You crazy man, insane details 🔥🔥

[@ddnkddn8772]

Super super bro 💕 what a beautiful work.

[@AlexGregoryFishing]

Brother, you are incredibly talented. I know that's made for fishing but I'd love to have something like that in my office space incredible artwork.

[@christopherromina5445]

Beautiful lure, great job making it.

[@morganmandery]

Ive started on my shark lure! Its 16 inches (just the body) and it will be around 20 inches with the fins and joints and you are my inspiration! So thanks for that

[@themichuuu666]

That's a really nice lure

[@stevenlitkey9354]

That sir is insanely cool 😮. Awesome skills and work !!

[@TheFishingFL]

Awesome video! If you liked using the hand plane then I really think you’d like using a spoke shave! Great woodworking tool to have

[@SolarfallBaits]

Been meaning to make myself a spoke shave actually.

[@precisionanglingYT]

Phenomenal work!!

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Exquisite piece of art. It swims well too.

[@vctrsone]

New zealand isnt on your world mat! LOL Awesome video!

Lmfao its a meme in New Zealand to collect maps without NZ on them! thanks for the reply @@SolarfallBaits

We exist I promise and the fishings good here!@@SolarfallBaits

[@mikewhitaker2306]

That thing is beautiful mounted in a nice lexan case and leave it on a Shelf

[@lurefusion]

Your lures are so cool good job

[@peterdobrijevic3107]

Absolutely beautiful piece of word. Thank you for sharing. Can I ask a question, what type of wood did you use? Was it bass wood or lime wood Thanks Pete

[@SolarfallBaits]

@@peterdobrijevic3107 thank you, like i mentioned in the video i used basswood.

[@danielvandergraft1095]

You are truly an artist.

[@johnharder5618]

Nice video I do my joint cuts different , might work for you also I do the layout lines onto the block of wood I then use the band saw miter gauge I clamp the wood block to the miter gauge and cut the joints before I cut on the layout lines I find this is way easier to get perfect joints quickly As I tend to make 12 or more of a lure at a time

[@bartlomiejjuwa2309]

Simply stunning 👏🏻

[@eemo2093]

Awesome, simply awesome. ❤

[@Glock-1]

Awesome work!

[@vinokuax1097]

Its no lure , its like art, very good job

[@dragoljubdjedovic7866]

Respect Maestro! Bravo!!!

[@BasSpain-custom-lures]

Incredible! Great work!!

[@davidbullard6112]

Wow very nice very talented 👍🎣

[@Max_Brugman]

What an amazing bait! Makes me want to try this once!

[@mickeytzatziki7944]

Amazing piece.

[@morganmandery]

You should make a chisel set but the handles of the chisels are actual lures (without hooks of course) That would be so cool!

[@David__H]

Very, very impressive!

[@leroysmith9455]

Incredible man! I’d love to see a musky caught on this

[@josejavierjimenezasin3693]

Que espectáculo !!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ПламенПанчев-ъ2о]

Perfect job bro !

[@Dr._Spamy]

A swivel for the hook attachment would be a good thing too, at a lure of this size. 😊

[@davidmattingly1574]

It's finally here, it'll take a while to get through this video but I want to see the whole process

[@mashoongak]

That is an amazing lure! I envy your carving and airbrushing skills. What block plane did you use?

[@SolarfallBaits]

It's an old Stanley

[@Jens.soderlind]

Helt jävla sjukt! Otroligt imponerad! 🤌👌

[@noellambert8817]

That is amazing, a true work of art! Do you intend on actually using this as a bait or more as an art piece?

[@SolarfallBaits]

The fellow who bought it from me is using it as a display piece

[@jimmyfireball]

It’s finally here 👍🏻

[@jimmyfireball]

And that paint job is outstanding!

[@juancarlosnadermora716]

Its Really a bait or a fine sculpture. Cause I don´t see any other use tha sea fishing with that size. But to catch what. Anyway you are a genious doing that stuff.

[@SolarfallBaits]

its really more of a display piece. but muskie might hit.

[@ducks5903]

I've had a think about it. I don't think I could catch a barramundi on that one 🤣

[@thierryf.3174]

Superb, What kind of wood do you do this with?

[@SolarfallBaits]

I mentioned it several times in the video.

[@thierryf.3174]

@@SolarfallBaits Sorry, my english comprehension is not better :o(

[@TheFishingFL]

Another tip, with the plugs try putting a very slight angle/taper on them that way you’re pretty much guaranteed to make 100% contact even if the plug is slightly oversized

[@SolarfallBaits]

That's actually what I did but failed to mention in the video

[@johnhull2582]

Oh man. I'm dying laughing and it is paused at 0:04. As the thumbnail fully settled into my brain: What is he throwing this with? A Telephone Pole? He could only possibly troll that. What is he fishing for with a freshwater lure that size? [cue Godzilla by Blue Oyster]

[@johnhull2582]

Nice lure. Just thoghts.

[@TheLusus]

You should make a video of the action of the lure aswell. 🙌

[@plasterbrick2011]

How to you get epoxy to stick to the sharp edges in the joints?

[@SolarfallBaits]

By doing very thin layers when I applied the epoxy.

[@user-ou8fe1vb9u]

masterpiece! could you please mention codes of epoxy at the end of video for coating ?

[@SolarfallBaits]

@@user-ou8fe1vb9u true coat epoxy

[@buccellatobastien1209]

Woooohaa amazing job

[@davidbonde2148]

Wow!! - that is impressive work (as always) but really high end work.

[@rogerdudra178]

Nice lookin pike, I'd make a smaller lure to catch dinner with your skills.

[@SolarfallBaits]

I got paid to make it this big, so now I can pay for my dinner instead catching it.

[@rogerdudra178]

@@SolarfallBaits That works, too. Trading a skill for a dinner is wise.

[@herscheljackson2781]

Hey I just wanted to know what kind of fish you could catch with the beast you have created

[@SolarfallBaits]

Probably muskie would go for something of this caliber

[@mattmatt3709]

Excellent travail incroyable ou peut on l’acheter et à quel prix 😅?

[@SolarfallBaits]

It was a custom order. The price was arm and a leg

[@mattmatt3709]

Mdr oui j’imagine bien 😂

[@IloveFrytkasy]

I'm just wondering what kind of monster you'd be able to catch with this

[@SolarfallBaits]

A big one 😅

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY.

[@toddsparks661]

Great work. It is awesome but i cant imagine putting all that work into carving the scales and then putting so much apoxy on it that all that detail is lost.

[@SolarfallBaits]

You can still see the detail under the epoxy

[@BenJamin-en3jb]

This is bigger than my PB pike. :D

This is amazing
