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.

[@gibawatts]

@@pastmasters9591 superglue is not toxic

[@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.

[@oldmanfred8676]

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

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

[@samTollefson]

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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@aykernsappalachia8263]

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

[@stevelemmon5405]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@typhoid77]

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

[@Madymoving]

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

[@laylend8632]

Thank you for answering a long overdue question.

[@GC_420]

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

[@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!!!

[@MoldyNachos]

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

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

[@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 🤣🤣

These two block builds are by far my favorite :D

[@loisgriffin6179]

the effort and detail in this lure are amazing

[@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.

[@corentinmartinet1664]

« What a block », thanks marling love ya

[@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.

[@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.

[@micah_lee]

Marling, I haven’t seen one of your videos in a while. You look much different, for the better. You look healthy and mentally in a better place which is amazing! Great video

[@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.

[@carlosramirez-vh3zo]

I can just tell this guy is an Awesome dad.

[@goose9094]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@FinalstepOutdoors]

Would love another Q&A session

[@SN-xw4gh]

ever since "will fish eat a block of wood" was released, there has been but one question plaguing mankinds minds... today we have our answer. thank you for your bravery.

[@punkvisser]

For the not lure lures like the blocks. Trying a - disk of wood - pyramid of wood - hexagon of wood

[@colin_300]

The living legend returns

[@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.

[@randomoutdoors9089]

Fishing the morning wood. LOL get it morning wood

[@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

[@Hen_4546]

Yes fish only hit the lure because super glue baking soda, it really gives it a lovely tangy flavor.

[@TheAdequateFisher]

Such a simple video idea but it just works lol love it

[@chrisp7641]

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

[@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

[@olinnoren1429]

Three words on the table saw anxiety: Zero. Clearance. Insert.

[@everybodysmile6506]

One thumbs up for the mound of magic

[@sports4life4u40]

You should make the worlds longest swim bait with the most action as possible

[@freshlysaltedfishing8500]

Now you gotta use both block lures and make a smaller one

[@SBSRIVERA]

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

[@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%!

[@SLG-jt1rd]

please do this marling

[@Luciferkrist]

Straight-up Minecraft fish.

[@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.

[@bottomfeeder5189]

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

[@The_Mythical_Potato]

The sequel we never knew we needed! 🤣

[@CheeseWater.]

A lego fish for a lure like those tiny fish (not like a lego build fish) and Maybe make a mold out of it or just as it half or put a hook through the body

[@Fillidam]

Omg! The returen of the kring

[@getsomefish2252]

Now you need to make a wood block Alabama rig, bring the whole family together

[@kennyoquain1467]

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.

[@Jordy_G_123]

It would be really cool if you could make a bat lure for night fishing kinda like the one savage gear makes

[@brodyhays3599]

The one time Nate is actually prepared for a one day he’s making a block of wood

From this day forward, all bass caught on a block of wood, will be known as "Blockhead" Bass.

[@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!

[@hamburgor6701]

I was just scrolling through my fyp page and found this thought it was weird and I read the title again and I relished he has done this and it worked so I had to watch this

[@pakde8002]

The first block of wood lure was a challenge. A second block of wood lure is a statement.

[@ChillingwithMalc]

Those lures looks pretty awesome! Nice work.

[@Brandonedwardwalsh]

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

[@captaindookey]

This is a modern art moment right here

[@DaxHimself]

Make a lure from a snack of some sort. Like resin infuse a cheez-it

[@Vassenden_yt]

This is perfection.

[@The1ong]

Next you should team up with blacktiph and go saltwater fishing with an EVEN bigger block of wood.

[@Pyrexia333]

Pretty crazy the amount of time, work, and detail you put into this lure! Truly a masterpiece

[@Ricolicous]

7:01 “Bass Behavior” a true description

[@scottkidder438]

OK, the Geometric lure??? 3 piece, cube up front for bloop, sphere body, pyramid tail for the wiggle??? It's Oh Fish Al! Bass like geometry!

[@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.

[@kygunworks4982]

I made a lipless style crankbait out of 1/2 brass tubing. Also used 3/4 tubing

[@tommern84]

I have been flyfishing for 30 years (started at the age of 8) anyway.. Most memorable fishing trip I have fresh in mind was one night with FENOMENAL Trichoptera hatching and I did not have any fly in any of my boxes I could use to imitate. Not one elk hair caddis or streaking caddis.. The trout immediately got super selective and would not take anything else.. I suddenly remembered I had my work clothes in the car and a set of those foam earplugs. I tread a plug on a long #10 hook and "tuned" it with a scissor. It popped and streaked like the GOAT of all streaking/ popping flies I got 17 trouts between 1,2 and 5,7 kg during 5 hours of fishing and lost a uncountable amount of other. They where all released 😊 Ps: i broke my personal record for trout on fly rod 5 times that day. With the last one being the 5,7kg monster

[@joeyfishing4088]

Maybe a triangle wood lure would work

[@Neo-eu7zi]

THE RETURN!!!!

[@beandaddy07]

Nothing like a good Sunday morning wood video.

[@corkyvanderhaven3391]

Casts like a dream

[@AaronHendu]

The first lures I ever made as a child were literally just blocks of wood with parallel 45 degree head and tail. Then i would drill a hole big enough to thread a steel leader through and attached a huge treble. I used them to catch pike. I usually painted them bright colors.
