I think I see how that lure was intended to be used...clear water only, get a solid visual on the fish, cast lure right over on top of the fish, knock the fish unconscious either by direct strike or shockwaves resulting from the lure crashing into the water, grab your net and get your catch floating belly-up. Rinse and repeat. As a tip....on a spinning rod setup, no reason to open the bail to cast, just set your drag a few clicks away from its tightest setting, throw the lure and it'll cast plenty far just taking out your drag.

[@deadpanfish]

You made me laugh quite a bit. Nice lol

[@carlicehouse]

I just bought my first house. My favorite part is it has a little workshop out back I’m gonna turn into a bait making shop. Been a fan of yours since I was 16, I’m now 20. You’ve inspired me to pursue bait making and your videos are definitely my favorite thing to watch. Thank you

[@penitent2401]

you bought a house at 20? wow, way to go.

[@mikewhitman745]

You could always run a screw into the bottom of the lead hole and leave the head sticking up from the bottom of the lead hole but below the surface of the lure so the lead can pour around the screw head and lock it in place. Great video as always and yeah, cut that thing up!!

[@maniachill3069]

I like this idea 👍

[@donpayne562]

Sounds like you might’ve poured some concrete,I’ve used that method using tapcon concrete screws to anchor it in place.

[@pipisugbo]

I had the same thought - seems easy enough

[@user-ef4gf7rr9r]

You could also try this way harder and dumber method: sink the hole and then dremel it out inside to the shape of a beaker or an oubliette.

[@desertrainfrog1691]

Cut some circular wood plugs to cover the lead holes by epoxying in place.

[@george8873]

Guess the Quality Control department was on break when that bait was made. You'd expect a company not to sell a $1,200 bait with such a sloppy glue job on the tail fin, then having it become dislodged as easy as it did because of that glue. Not sure I'd buy a lure from them even if I could afford to after seeing that.

[@Lone_Star_Outdoors]

That's exactly what I was thinking, if I spent $1,200 on that bait I would have felt personally insulted, and sent it back the second I saw the first flaw. At that price point, you're not allowed to make mistakes. Especially mistakes that major.

[@fatherrussell5303]

Made my first bait following the tips you gave. It was too light in the body. I was trying to make a striper bait for casting from shore, but even with 4 holes in the body completely filled with lead shot i couldn’t get enough weight for a good cast. Can you make a striper stick bait video for your fans? We love ya man, keep sending us the gold.

[@bpflures842]

You are absolutely nuts! I love it. Keep up the great work.

[@matthewgonsalves2479]

1200 dollar bait, just rips the tail out, you the man 🤣

[@jm9841]

I know using the correct bait and tackle is important. I also know of an old guy saying though that some lures catch more fishermen than fish.

[@psguardian]

Your lead protrusion is likely, at least in part, wood shrinkage.

If I ever spent that much on a lure. It better not have any imperfections. Plus it wouldnt ever leave the house and get anywhere near a body of water. It would be locked in a display case like a trophy lol

For the sum of 1.2k, I think I woulda been a bit irritated with the tail glue lol. Definitely love the way your baits look and work more than the romans!

[@pr0faker]

its not even worth 120 bucks in my book, yes its hand made but the flaws pointed out is just slacking off and pumping out as much as they can to sell for the over the top price.

[@BornIn1500]

@@pr0faker those flaws aren't bad at all and they don't detract from the value. It's well worth the $120 "in your book"... by far. But I do agree that $1,000+ is too high for it.

[@andrewhirtle3525]

Yea he didn’t seem happy

[@9009matorres]

That being said, it’s a handmade product…so irregularities and mistakes are expected. But I’d never consider paying that much for a lure.

[@pr0faker]

@@9009matorres frankly, it all depends on the price what you pay for handmade stuff. You need to get what you pay for, 1200 for a lure with such easy to fix and in my eyes mistakes that should not even be there when its 120 bucks, is waaaay overpriced and you should and will be called out for that. Especially when sending it to someone that makes lures themselves with a pretty big YT channel...

[@DuckyFuzzer]

Love bait reviews...also would love to see a this vs that where you get a lure and try to make a better version of the same bait

[@Bilbo0472]

$1200.00 for a wooden lure !! I really think Roman Made has found a great way to transform wood into gold !!! I can't find any good reason to justify that level of price... Nothing but the name ! Or "how a Japanese craftsman managed to make a certain category of fishermen lose all sense"... Thank you for that review !

[@lulumink0]

regardless of the price, this lure won't catch more, maybe even less. IMO this thing belongs to showroom.

[@lulumink0]

@@BartMolkenboer can you briefly explain as of why wood lure is better than plastic?

[@SteveGraceFlyTierNZ]

Cut it in half and mount each half in a frame, then sell both to cover your costs after making a second video of the internals. As for the lead on your bait working its way out, try a small router bit in your holes to make an upside down mushroom shape for the lead. Very hard to do on the smaller stuff, but if anyone can, you can! All the best from New Zealand.

[@Jay22222]

Other than a bit more surface area, how does this help keep the lead in place and does anyone have a detailed explanation of why it protrudes over time?

[@Vassle]

Great idea, cut it in half and frame it. Then have a competition give one away to a subscriber

[@austinhensley6553]

@@Jay22222 it makes the top of the lead inside the bait larger than the bottom thats trying to push out and causes it to lodge itself tighter into the bait so it doesnt protrude

[@Jay22222]

@@austinhensley6553 Yeah I think I misunderstood what the original poster was actually suggesting to do. Anyone know why the plugs are so keen to come out? Especially if sealed properly the way Nate does and we assume that expansion of the timber isn’t the only factor or do we think that water ingress IS the only factor? Given this wasn’t exactly a lure that saw heavy use it’s a pretty dramatic effect if I recall correctly

[@taz997]

I don't know how I stumbled across your channel but this is hilarious. Also, I'd be terrified to throw a $1200 lure for fear of losing it.

[@linda54wood]

I love your personality. Wow what a difference from the shy, quite guy who didn't say a word in his first several videos. Lol You bait making skills are the bestest.

[@bricemackenzie8427]

You could probably stop the lead plugs from slipping out if you drill the lead holes at an angle so they intersect and form a single cavity, Or maybe drill at multiple angles from the same hole to form a cavity larger than the opening.

[@jamessilly6837]

It's probably not necessary for the smaller baits that I make but I always dovetail my lead in. Drill a hole, then carve the bottom out evenly so it can't fall out.

[@angelswayofadventure8368]

I've watch all your videos since you didn't say anything when your doing your lures.,but now I'm waiting till the time your handsome son Fin to fish with you next summer...keep it up man..

[@CthulhusDream]

Do you think the lead poking through your bait is the wood swelling or shrinking with moisture gain or loss? I wonder if you had like kiln dried your wood pre or post carving if that would make a difference. Does it happen on the smaller baits too or just the XXL ones? I'm 100% not an expert or anything at all, just trying out ideas. Also I totally wanna see more bait reviews and watch you cut that one in half!

[@gman69455]

It’s the shear weight of the lead sliding out. He seals the wood so there is no moisture gain, but I don’t believe he put any sort of anchor in the lead holes.

[@K.Belcher]

Your videos are truly a highlight of my days. You even inspired me to try and make a lure with my craftsman grandfather! As a 28 year old, it was an amazing excuse to connect with him in his craft. My lure was nothing to write home to ma about, but the memory is priceless and is now a wonderful reminder of him. Thank you, Nate - your videos, passion, and down to earth humor really do inspire.

[@lamontgray6015]

AWESOME

[@clickandcompany5504]

If you take a dremel with a little barb and widen the bottom of a hole then the lead can’t work it’s way out. Also thank you sir for all the hours of work you put in to entertain the rest of us

[@marcopozo9655]

Dude you’re a savage! I love how little you care for material things. It shows that you show your appreciation in what actually matters, like your family. Very respectable. I love your videos man! Can’t tell you how genuinely happy I get when I see you post on Instagram and videos here. Never change.

[@MrArcher0]

Idea for keeping your lead from working its way out of your baits: As your drilling your hole(s) drill each hole a second time but at a slight angle using the same start point for your hole. This will create a wedge of lead that can’t work its way out. Smarter Not Harder

[@benson6553]

Very smart idea. making the bottom wider than the hole so it cannot move up is not something I would have thought of

[@MrArcher0]

@@benson6553 This is a very old idea used for pouring and setting concrete pillars. It is commonly use in areas with high freeze and thaw occurrences, but they ‘bell’ the bottom of the hole. I never thought it would be necessary to do for lead in a wooden bait till I saw what happened to the other lure he had made. I instantly thought concrete does the exact same thing. 💡

[@fuzzy3407]

to take care of the lead escaping problem make the hole taper inward like a dovetail joint. You could use a spoon knife or something to widen the bottom of the hole out. (hope you get what i mean)

[@timf7183]

You should do a mini version of this lure!

[@NationalCrafter]

For a thousand dollar lure I would have a huge expectation for only the purest of quality. That Roman Made lure doesn't seem high quality, almost seems like you're buying a name more than anything. Heck, your baits are higher quality than that. Saw that Roman Made in half!!!!

There's no way I'd ever pay that much for a lure made of wood! I mean if it was covered in gold maybe. Also you spent the money you have every right to point ot the HORRIBLE FLAWS! I love the way you do your work and you would never produce a lure with FLAWS that bad then charge that much.

[@garrettstevens2232]

Once you get to this level, you are buying art more than you are buying fishing gear. I am sure that the time put into it would justify the price, if it didn't have the flaws that a few extra minutes of care would have avoided.

[@soreloser6018]

Regarding the lead coming out of the lead holes. Giving the hole some undercuts with a Dremel will help keep it locked it.

You also made a better bait that preformed better. Anyone can make a giant lure... but it takes a master bait maker to make a giant lure preform right.

[@jvposz]

Try adding a small screw to the bottom of your lead hole with the head of the screw only driven in halfway to the bottom of the hole. The head of the screw in the center of the lead hole will act as an anchor once the lead is poured around it. That will keep the lead from working its way out of the hole over time!
