Will Fish Eat an Even Bigger Block of Wood?

[@kiahcsnav]

Have you ever considered carving a lure from a block of super glue and baking soda?

[@Pug209]

I can not tell you how many times that question has been asked

[@kiahcsnav]

@@Pug209 and here I am thinking I had an original idea😂🥲

[@larrypostma2866]

There’s no reason we couldn’t layer it up in an open pour type mold. That would eliminate the need to do a massive amount of sanding

[@scottkidder438]

I keep asking him, would be a great lipless crank.

[@josephikrawkowski502]

Truly these types of lures have such popularity and good reputation because of the meticulous and elaborate carvings and the effort obviously displayed in the piece.

Sorry, but I had to catch my breath when I read your comment.

There was an article I recall from an old Popular Science magazine from the 60s that showed a fisherman using all manner of objects to catch Bass, a piece of carrot was one winner and a wrist watch (without the straps) was one of the most successful! The message then, as it probably is now, is that when the fish are feeding, it doesn't really matter what you throw to them. Everyone also knows that fishing lures are designed to catch the fisherman first, and the fish second.

[@austin_trulove]

You should turn a chess set into various types of lures. For example a pawn crankbait, a topwater bishop, a queen jerkbait, and a king buzzbait. Something like that. It sounds awesome. Great video as always 👍

[@NikoMoraKamu]

and the chessboard for the end of the series

[@bbyakfishin4193]

Not sure I could do 16 hours with a block of wood. That’s some true dedication. And after the instagram post I thought I was going to see the making of your neighbors lure. Total surprise!!! Yet again another awesome video! Can wait for the next one!!!

[@CenPapi]

3:37 You should try painting it up, giving it scales and eyes and the like but leave it a block. would be cool to know if a fish colored rectangle would catch.

[@mahbuddykeith1124]

They made fish from Minecraft a real thing?

[@CenPapi]

@@mahbuddykeith1124 I sure hope he does.

[@FiveBaits]

Oooh boyy! The block of wood was the video that brought me into your channel, later on into lure making and then into having my own lure making channel! My life has changed completely since the first time I watched that video! Thank you so much for your great work and the passion you give everyday to all of us! ❤ Sorry for my English, I come from pasta land!

[@ericpettyfishing]

You should do a wood block, soft bait pour. Maybe find a good piece of wood or stick and make a mold. Maybe they would like soft squishy blocks of wood.

[@ericpettyfishing]

Realistic wood grain swirl would be interesting for color schemes too. Bark could make some interesting texture.

[@joeschmoe1301]

What is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT is that the block is square and parallel. As you know, bass can tell when wood is out of plane and they simply won't bite it. Precision plane and parallel is VITAL to getting consistent strikes from bass.

[@near--zero]

not gonna lie, the original block of wood lure was one of my favorite videos, im ecstatic that youve created another masterpiece

[@spiceman6053]

i cannot overstate how much ive been looking forward to block of wood 2

[@outdoorsandstuff3700]

Always happy to see a fresh post

[@aywjewelry]

This needs to be put in a museum. Genuinely. Like there is an unreal amount of detail. The way the gradient changes as you twist the lure, the grain, everything

[@bartm2560]

Ah the long awaited sequel! Nice carving bro

[@EthanKPugh0318]

Dude, I knew you were a master class bait maker but holy cow, this is a work of art. I thought the Gnarly gill was one of the best but this? This is incredible. I don’t know if you plan on selling it but I’ll put up whatever it takes to own that amazing lure.

[@talldave1000]

The craftsmanship going into sealing the lead plug was some top level stuff. I've never see anything quite like it... I wonder of the amazement if he added a lip. Sadly, he did not put much confidence into it because he didn't sign it. : (

[@rfindahouse]

Just came back from a one week fishing trip, and here are two things I would like to say: 1. I think you should make a spoon lure. That would be pretty cool 2. A thing that I was taught while fishing (that you might already know) is that whenever you have a fish you keep your Rod tip up and that you lift the fish out of the water by grabbing the line, not just with your pole. Just thought that might be helpful! Also it’s my 13th birthday in two weeks and my parents are getting me one of your merch hoodies. :D Thanks for being such an awesome Fisherman and KZbinr (two of my favorite things)

[@Noit27]

With certain fish i.e Barramundi, keeping the rod tip lower is better. If they jump having the rod tip up will give them enough slack to spit the hook. Keeping it low will avoid this.

[@rfindahouse]

@@Noit27 I agree

[@MoldyNachos]

You really don’t know how happy this makes me. The block of wood is what got my Marling Baits addiction started

[@calebz1448]

My grandfather made a jointed cylinder of wood with a top nose extending over the line tie making a nice chug for a smaller profile. Advanced wooden baits should definitely be a series

[@gabecrigger2204]

I wish I could make a block of wood as good as you do. Just the amount of skill required to make such a beautiful lure is astounding!

[@typhoid77]

Lure Idea: Overly complicated wooden block -magnetic weight transfer -rattle with wooden plugs -through wire -everythings else you can squeeze in

[@stevelemmon5405]

Sunday One Day bigger and better with special guest block of wood! thanks for the content.

[@Madymoving]

The first one was the first video I watched from your channel and the inspiration for me to make homemade lures 😊

[@LePapricorn]

The very first video I ever watched of yours was your original wood block video. Love your stuff man, you're a great dude!

[@patrickmcclintock7027]

Hear me out, bud. Make some kind of super nonstick mold. Fill it with baking soda. Then - stay with me - soak the entire thing full of superglue. Just a solid bait of that magic super-material. The fish will jump out of the water into your truck bed.

[@fisherdude6893]

Hello, fly fishing guy here, you should try fly tying, I do it and it’s great!!! Please do it sometime. See u in the next videos comments!

[@GC_420]

Microdosing, Margarita's & Marling Baits...Three M's of a nice Sunday. BLOOP! :P

[@Philly_Willy]

[@laylend8632]

Thank you for answering a long overdue question.

[@jakemostov1]

These two block builds are by far my favorite :D

[@mikeyfishin]

I’m taking credit for this video hehehehe. Another block of wood….we have come full circle and your bait making has entered epicfishal status!!! You rock…I dedicate my life to your service 🤣🤣

[@pjc5437]

I used to have an aversion to super glue on my fingers, if I got it on my fingers I would peal it off, often to the detriment of my skin. Seeing you ignore it has made my life better. Now I embrace the glue. You sir are a life changer!

[@goose9094]

Next we need a block of wood painted like a fish, also love the video!

[@loisgriffin6179]

the effort and detail in this lure are amazing

[@Blue_Collar_Hunter]

I’m rooting for the 2x4 next. Just make it through wired with internal swivels to attach hardware to. Like how the make saltwater striper lures.

[@kls2020]

When the big wooden trout swimbait craze hit California in the early 90's I recall hearing a story about a guy who was a carpenter made a trout shaped lure he dubbed "The Stud lure" because it was cut from a 2x4 that suposedly caught some giant bass.

[@68fmj51]

Dang! That lure you made for your neighbor is awesome! I hadn't heard of your channel before now, glad it popped up on my YT.

[@hala8660]

[@yesmatlures4451]

After watching your first block of wood vid, i made my own block lure about the size of this one and it slayed the saltwater GTs. I am still amazed as to how the pop on it could be so good.

[@chrisp7641]

A plumbob (think sims) would be cool to see fished with.

That was a good try on the wood block lure, Marling.

[@letsgobrandontrump2024]

Your original block of wood video is what got me carving out my own baits lol and I’m fairly proud of how successful I’ve been too

[@OmahaFisherman]

Some ideas for baits just off the top of my head: Lego lure. Fidget spinner lure. Something with a spring that bounces on the bottom. Slinkey Bait. Marbles in a nut sack. Lipless crankbait with a chatterbait blade.

[@beandaddy07]

Nothing like a good Sunday morning wood video.

[@Portersouth]

Such creativity going into this bait

[@Pug209]

[@DanielvdPoel]

At 13:49 how do you clean out the epoxy from the line tie and hook hanger?

[@purgethemutants4142]

5:40 there actually are lures that look like blocks of wood for tuna, its called a cedar plug, its weird but it is a highly effective lire

[@to3ta64]

I’m a simple man. I see a new Marling video, I watch and smash the like button

[@bottomfeeder5189]

You sure did a good job, turning that block of wood, into a block of wood. Nice video.

[@aglenrios]

I wonder if it dove if it might attract a pike or muskie. Your simple bait reminds me of some (less) simple baits I was given that were used around here (Minnesota) back in the 1960's/70's. They made of wood and have a generic fish shape painted half red and half white.

[@corentinmartinet1664]

« What a block », thanks marling love ya

[@MuzikMan2014]

I'm not sure if you've done this yet, but have you tried a lowpoly fishing lure? Like clearly these fish will go for anything, but how little polygons will achieve a successful lure? Also, side thought: PAINT THE BLOCK TO LOOK LIKE FISH! I'll bet that it increases the catch rate by at least ~30%!

[@Lleesstreett]

please do this marling

[@Luciferkrist]

Straight-up Minecraft fish.

[@dhruvhnk6860]

I am sure most anglers would have read /heard of the book "SURE YOU CAN FISH! Tackle Shortages Need Not Stop You" its about making lured from random stuff like toothbrush handles and mop sticks.

[@mattpollis3537]

I love this! Reminds me of seeing the Budweiser can lures as a kid and thinking..."nooooo way this catches fish"

[@SavageVoyageur]

I still own one of those. I was about 15 years old when i bought it. My dad said it already caught a sucker.

[@farmgirl7080]

That second lure is beautiful!!

[@wellscody86]

What is it that makes some baits swim on their side? Just a weight imbalance or is it more shape that causes it?

[@The_Mythical_Potato]

The sequel we never knew we needed! 🤣

[@ChrisSmith-gt6lg]

Kevin's pond has got it goin on. 🎣

[@alf3071]

have you tried making a lure just out of a big and thick hook?

[@FinalstepOutdoors]

I’ve been waiting for this sequel

[@colin_300]

The living legend returns

[@DbaldetToShuffle]

Love the olive green Savage Gear rods, amazing value. Also, make a through wire version and send it to someone who striper fishes un the salt or something!

[@iAm_NeBos]

I know that you sometimes take ideas from comments. I have a idea that I think would make for an interesting build. Make a lure with an interchangeable lip. You can use the same lure to dive deep and switch out the lip and be able to fish it shallow.

[@kanny5175]

The Abu Hi-Lo had a adjustable lip ...was a pretty cool lure back in the day

[@nickjahraus9780]

Had fun catching Peacock Bass in Mexico with wood planks trailing an 18" leader with a 1/0 treble. Crazy what fish'll bite.

[@Brandonedwardwalsh]

Awesome video Nate. Can’t wait to purchase a lure of yours. You should make a spoon. Nail a pike with it.

[@Izzgorry11111]

One of my (and I'm sure, many others') favorite parts of watching these videos is figuring out which sounds are gonna make it to the end. It's absolutely art; but, with fishing. Fishing art. Fart. There, I said it.

[@taylorwilliamson345]

Looks like you painted your nails for a KISS concert... also, this bait is called "Jenny from the block" now.

[@theclandestineUtubeconnoisseur]

I'm disappointed you didn't do a fun facts and look up wood on Wikipedia

[@ChillingwithMalc]

Those lures looks pretty awesome! Nice work.

[@robowen5791]

This winter, when you are bored, and depressed because the fishing is slow, you should make a tip up. But not any tip up, like a Rube Goldberg contraption with all sorts of intricate mechanisms. And give it a real nice finish like the old wood tip ups of yesteryear.

[@robowen5791]

Oh, and following today's theme, you can make a separate hillbilly tip up, which is just a block of wood with a Spool of line wrapped around it. Fish em head to head and see which one wins.

[@Juhmeri]

You revealed my ultimate secret weapon! Have been using these wood blocks for decades.

[@anglingthe801]

Video Idea: start with the block of wood and every time you catch a fish, you carve the lure down until you end up with a finished lure.

[@danoham10]
