Tips and Tricks ~ THINGS I WISH I KNEW WHEN I STARTED LURE MAKING

[@donaldmatthews7572]

Thanks for the tips, I have tied flies, and jigs for trout for thirty years. Now that I am too old to wade in streams and rivers without falling on my face. I now make crappie and bass jigs and spinnerbaits, and fish out of a boat. You are never too old to learn, so thank you for the tips, and please keep them coming.

[@N2TW_customlures]

No problem at all!! I appreciate you watching the channel 🤙

[@kellymccann369]

One of the best videos I've seen on common sense solutions to obstacles we all run in to.

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@kellymccann369 I appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@davidsullivan27]

Young man, I've been making baits for many years and never knew most of the things you showed here. I've learned so much from your videos, but this one is noe my favorite video on KZbin! Thank you.

[@N2TW_customlures]

That’s awesome to hear David!! Glad we could help out and appreciate you watching

[@robertchadwick1552]

Your organization of everything is great. That's my biggest take away. Thanks for sharing all of those tips. This is very useful.

[@N2TW_customlures]

Thanks for watching!! If I don’t keep it somewhat organized while working it will very quickly get out of hand lol

[@hookreelfishing]

Another great video ++ Thanks for all the tips!! Never thought about the butter knife causing bubbles. As soon as i get home today, I'm grinding all the "teeth" off!!

[@N2TW_customlures]

That’s what a lot of people do. I wanted to give the cheese spreaders a shot and really like them but grinding the teeth off works just as well

[@jim8537]

Nice video buddy! I don't make baits myself, but I really enjoy watching you do your thing and it's pretty amazing to me as how you do what you do. Keep up the great work my friend! Happy 4th to you and your family. As always, N2TW_customlures rocks!!!

[@anthonygehl3563]

Thanks for the tips I gust start make hair jigs and I’m having fun on catching fish on them.I been think about getting started on making my own plastics bait and so on .

[@N2TW_customlures]

Thanks for watching!! Catching fish on your own baits is extremely rewarding. Welcome to the hobby as well 🤙

[@johns6993]

Great video..I'm really enjoying ur channel

[@N2TW_customlures]

Thank you 🙏 there will be more videos coming soon. The holidays have just been too busy to film any

[@Marcuccioperca]

Man, going through all your videos, very instructive! 👍👍👍 But there is a mystery you must unveiled: what's the story behind those burning marks on the left side of your workbench? 😂

[@N2TW_customlures]

Well I appreciate you watching them all lol. And as far the burn marks that was my drippotamus (lead pot) 😂 I plugged it in and started doing something else while it was heating up and next thing I know it’s puking lead all over the table lol. That’s why I now keep it sitting in that little metal tray lol

[@morganlutton1434]

Like your videos helped a lot

[@N2TW_customlures]

Glad we could help 🤝 we will be back to posting more videos soon

[@michael_mc_gowan]

Thanks for the tips. Just a suggestion on the butter knife. Grind the teeth off and shape it to have a smooth shape.

[@N2TW_customlures]

I’ve seen a few people do that on some of the Facebook pages. That’s another great option

[@tysonmcclellan7108]

If ya wanted to powder coat a jig with a weedguard use shrink tube on the weedguard if u can get ahold of them use teflon pins for pouring jigs with weedguard holes they work so much better than the standard pin

[@N2TW_customlures]

I keep saying I’m gonna pick up some Teflon pins when I make my next order but keep forgetting lol

[@tysonmcclellan7108]

@N2TW_customlures it happens but once ya use them ya never wanna use a steel pin again

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@tysonmcclellan7108 I’ll make sure to grab some this time around

[@chrisl6733]

I didn't know that you can replace the pot and rod How often do you recommend replace them

[@N2TW_customlures]

Yep and it’s super easy to do. As far as how often that just all depends on how much you use it and how clean your lead is. I typically don’t change mine until I start having issues with the spout clogging up and not pouring very good

[@emfishing8766]

What are those sickle hooks that you are using on the poison tail jigs?

[@N2TW_customlures]

@@emfishing8766 those were Victory 11886 hooks. I was just doing some testing with them

[@edwardtroendle7041]

I like the custom colors do you have anytips on a iridescent color spinner Bair I lost one I've had for 20+ years and I can't find it or anything like it so I have to make it. Just wondering bc the head an one willow where a iridescent rainbow

[@N2TW_customlures]

I know Barlows has some iridescent colored blades and I’ll leave them linked below. As far as the head color you will most likely have to do a custom powdercoat. A silver or chrome base coat with some Holoshift overcoat might get you close to what you are wanting. barlowstackle.com/Iridescent-Willow-Blades-Size-35-P1985/?afmc=11h

[@MarrKing]

Do you sell lures/baits? I also make baits

[@N2TW_customlures]

I sell through my Instagram page but it’s more for fun than anything. @n2tw_customlures

[@guylangenfeld2123]

Where did you get your cheese spreaders?

Bait keeper, not weedguard.
