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!

[@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.

[@karlbradley4611]

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

[@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...

[@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.

[@timndel]

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

[@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!

[@coryelharger9089]

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

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

really genius in terms of carving and this is all the result of senior's long experience

[@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 😉

[@John94709]

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

[@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! 👏👏👏

[@SideHustleGarageSwimbaits]

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

[@seniorblacky4786]

I am can not express my happiness and gratitude enough for that marvellous teaching of art and experience . Congratulations 🌹

[@21CryBaby]

[@TheArtisticAngler]

Absolutely incredible artwork!! Glad to see you back!!

[@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.

[@williammallender8391]

impressive - you've caught the essential character of the pike - well done

[@bonsaiman75]

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

[@stevendonaghy1423]

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

[@TheSolo1papi]

Well I watched this in full 3 time's. You definitely are the master lol. Such impeccable work. Truly an artist!!!

[@michaeltdoll]

Those scales! Your a crazy person. Beautiful

[@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...

[@avodacado]

Great job man 👍👍found you on reddit about a year ago, you've inspired so many including me.

[@mosesmedina789]

[@commonsense7754]

Fantastic as per usual Mikko. Well done.

[@darrellgarner5605]

[@danielfritchley6649]

I'm not really sure if its Gluten free!............ not that it really matters.........

[@FraustByte]

Amazing work. Been following your for 2 years or so now. Beautiful piece.

[@SolarfallBaits]

[@sacpig6839]

[@brucevillegas2328]

Truly a work of art

[@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...

[@danielvandergraft1095]

You are truly an artist.

[@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!🧐🌲👍

[@alexandruyanni]

It wants to swim even on that short distantance 👍 Amazing amount of work went into that. Great result 👍👍

[@badfish_45]

Amazing work on this big lure

[@PatLures]

You crazy man, insane details 🔥🔥

[@mitrich71]

Man, you are a true master!

[@arnauddelaloche8566]

impressive work, amazing result !! masterpiece

[@problembaer666]

What an amazing project! Very well done! 👏🏻

[@themichuuu666]

That's a really nice lure

[@mikewhitaker2306]

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

[@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

[@precisionanglingYT]

Phenomenal 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.

[@vinokuax1097]

Its no lure , its like art, very good job

[@ddnkddn8772]

Super super bro 💕 what a beautiful work.

[@MarshaNPILoveCanada]

That's the most well custom fish bait I ever seen! Wow! Bahasa Indonesia: Ini adalah bikinan umpan ikan yang paling baik! Waw! -Bandung, Indonesia (And I love Canada btw :3 )

[@SolarfallBaits]

Thank you for checking out the video 😉

[@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.

[@dragoljubdjedovic7866]

Respect Maestro! Bravo!!!

[@stevenlitkey9354]

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

[@approachingtarget.4503]

Looks fantastic solar.

[@juttakutschick8499]

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

[@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

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Exquisite piece of art. It swims well too.

[@mickeytzatziki7944]

Amazing piece.

[@lukelabonte6869]

Totally an amazing piece of work 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 what talent 🎣🍻

[@eemo2093]

Awesome, simply awesome. ❤

[@bartlomiejjuwa2309]

Simply stunning 👏🏻

[@David__H]

Very, very impressive!

[@lurefusion]

Your lures are so cool good job

[@Max_Brugman]

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

[@BasSpain-custom-lures]

Incredible! Great work!!

[@Dr._Spamy]

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

[@leroysmith9455]

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

[@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

[@davidmattingly1574]

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

[@Jens.soderlind]

Helt jävla sjukt! Otroligt imponerad! 🤌👌

[@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!

[@ПламенПанчев-ъ2о]

Perfect job bro !

[@davidbullard6112]

Wow very nice very talented 👍🎣

[@markdickerson2466]

It's so cool,, You're the best, Better than Marlon Bates....!

[@jimmyfireball]

It’s finally here 👍🏻

[@jimmyfireball]

And that paint job is outstanding!

[@raymondjohnson6496]

Them hooks will last longer than the lure will GO ❤ USA ❤

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY.

[@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.

[@buccellatobastien1209]

Woooohaa amazing job

[@danielfritchley6649]

they actually make wood burner tips for carving realistic you could easily invest in one in time spent would pay for it's self in the first use. oh yeah I'm actually commenting on the carving of scales.

[@spicysocks4492]

For a real good pike spot yellow, mix white and your yellow till its a nices "off white" where you can see it looks yeller. It looks killer either way!

[@SolarfallBaits]

Yeah there is so much variation with pike markings that it's hard to get it totally wrong

[@mosesmedina789]

Ampullae of Lorenzini I believe is what the sensory pores that detect electromagnetic fields are called. Like found on sharks. Could be wrong.

[@Dusty141]

Super glue and Baking soda make a great bonding agent for those weights…

[@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.

[@zzzzzz-pv7do]

Best Wood for Baits is Paulownia or Blauglockenbaum. Cheap, extrem floating and sucks no water. Its like balsa wood but mutch stronger.

[@SolarfallBaits]

too bad that wood is not really available where I'm at. to be honest this is the first time i've heard of it.

[@bartoszst3711]

Artist!

[@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

[@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

[@TheLusus]

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

[@jamescodling8641]

Stunning

[@vctrsone]

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

[@SolarfallBaits]

Thanks amazon 😭

[@vctrsone]

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
