What type of wood do you use?

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

@@alexeigonzalez7798 teak wood from used goods crates, walnut wood from used building materials and several woods whose fibers are smooth and light and easy to shape

I really enjoy your instructional videos mate. A tip from an amateur (me :) ) after I have drawn the profile and eye/gill pattern I place a piece of transfer paper (like the old carbon paper but heaps less messy) face up underneath and then trace back over the profile so you have the opposite side duplicated. Then I drawn lines above the nose/below the nose & above the tail/below the tail. I then draw a bottom profile below and a top profile above.

[@zimmtex]

First, thank you for watcing! Great tip with the transfer paper. I also think you are smart to put the pattern on both sides to make sure you stay symmetrical. Cheers!

Would love to see more saltwater lures stickbaits and popper ect. Love the Vids awesome lures

[@zimmtex]

Good news! I am uploading a new video about making a saltwater stick bait. I appreciate your support!

[@connorcoetzee610]

@@zimmtex cool looking forward to it love your videos find them very clear and easy to follow

[@romansemenov2393]

Hey , Nice video and the wobler production procces . Are you ussing the stainless steel line ? What is the diameter of it ? I will appriciate your comment . Thank you

[@zimmtex]

Thanks, and sorry for the slow reply. I used a 0.62" stainless steel lock wire. You can find links to most of the stuff I use on my website: www.zimmtexlures.com/productlinks

Pearlized whit you use from createx ? I have problem with createx wicked pearl white - on airbrush with 0.5 needle. How many reducer do you use ?

[@zimmtex]

I also have problems with the wicked colors. I usually add around 30% reducer to get it to spray properly.

[@MyPawlooo]

I have problem too with wicked metallic white coarse - white fine is susowi for painting

[@nunosantos1753]

Why did you destroy the lure at the end?

[@zimmtex]

I guess we all do foolish things from time to time. That's why I made two, so that I would have another. Ironically, I lost it on my first cast.

[@lureup9973]

Ok I see a Kevlar finish in the works!

[@zimmtex]

You bet! A big saltwater fish can shred a lure too!

[@swedishpowerclub]

I like your videos about how you make your lures,but how do you make your lead weight. Do you drill i wood and make them. Can you make a short video about it.

[@zimmtex]

Thank you for watching! I do drill into wood with a forster bit to make my weights. I will add it to my list. Cheers!

[@wesleycarrington5754]

Once again, great job top of the class lures making BUT next time sell it to me to fish with first 🤣😂. Do some more stickbait lures ✌🇧🇧

[@zimmtex]

Thanks I really appreciate your support!

👍👍👍👍👍

[@zimmtex]

Thank you!

Have you tested how much those twisted wire screw eyes can hold compared to a thru wire harness? Just curious.

[@zimmtex]

I haven't done a direct head to head comparison but the thru wire would win by a wide margin. However, I do have a video testing screw eye strength at various depths which you might find interesting. I have another video testing thru wire strength on a GT popper, but its not an apples to apples comparison. I'll put it on my idea list! Thanks for watching!

[@DanEvan]

@@zimmtex I make a 230mm, 135g GT popper with a 40mm cup and a 255mm, 170g model with a 50mm cup. Both are made from incredibly high impact resin pours. I use 2.4mm 316 marine grade stainless wire for the harness which is a closed loop harness with crimped and barrel wrapped tagged ends. I also use 316 stainless steel decking grommets on the nose and stain to prevent shearing.

[@zimmtex]

@@DanEvan Sounds awesome! I bet they are tougher than wood. Cheers!

[@wrofishing897]

LOL the ugly screw eye for the belly hook hanger - same tactics here 😉

[@zimmtex]

My goal is to make every lure better than the one before it. But, I find that I learn more from mistakes than successes. Thanks for watching!

[@zimmtex]

Thank you very much!

[@chrisgooden4427]

Love your videos! I mostly carve actual fish and duck decoys from Jersey white cedar (traditional with ducks and I live in South Jersey where it's harvested) but am dabbling in lures now. Anyway do you what size that v-parting tool (v-gouge) is? You use it often for detailing lines you carve. Thanks for posting great, useful content!

[@zimmtex]

Great to hear from you; I love decoys but haven't ever made any. I'm not sure what size the gorgeous is, it came in a small carving set I bought years ago. It's maybe 1/8" on each side of the 'V' . Thanks for watching!

[@cecapfishing9882]

I've watched the whole video, loved the lure, then the test came and I was Attempt 1 NO NO PLEASE DON'T Heck yeah Attempt 2 BROTHER, GOD ALREADY SAVED IT TWICE, DON'T DO IT attempt 3 Mooom T_T End of the video "I'm still sad though, but happy to see the twin"

[@zimmtex]

Don't worry, I couldn't destroy the only one!

[@MarcosMVlures]

I dont quite understand the reason for the final part... Did someone thought thaT THE LURE WOULD SURVIVE?

[@thatsmallrockshop]

Heat set your createx.

[@zimmtex]

You bet, thanks for watching!

[@nicholastanzola488]

Hey man just found your channel and am loving it. Weirdly I have that same hat too

[@zimmtex]

Glad you found me! You know, that is one of my favorite hats.

[@juancarlosnadermora716]

You decided to kill it once you got trought the wood with the second hook hunger hole!

[@zimmtex]

Thanks for watching!

[@vereabsolutum9131]

What was the purpose of destroying that newly made lure???? I can't remember the last time I ran over ANY of my fishing gear with a lawn mower

[@zimmtex]

Well, the purpose was actually just to try something new with the channel. It worked out for the better because that's when I started making two baits at a time instead of just the one.

[@vereabsolutum9131]

Hi, I used to make fishing rod before I could no longer to so. I loved what I did. My rods were strong and frankly beautiful. They fished well and those that had and used them liked them very much. During that time I NEVER INTENTIONALLY BROKE ANY TO CHECK THEIR FISHABILITY. Surprisingly I and others just FISHED THEM LOL.

[@reynaldobalisi9008]

Watching lng bro

[@zimmtex]

I appreciate it!

[@JohnDoe-xq8sk]

I watched till the end to watch how it swims but it just gets ran over by a lawn mower. 🤦‍♂️

[@zimmtex]

I actually made two and was going to swim the second one, but lost it on the first cast. So I recently remade these (clownfish) and do show them swimming in the water.

[@robertbentlygeorge8973]

OMG ! I can't believe he ruined that Beautiful Lure !

[@zimmtex]

Not to worry, I know a guy who can make more! Believe me, it's not nearly as heartbreaking as loosing one on the first cast.

[@RoggiesRigs]

Lawn mower?!?! Idk... seems like a waste man.

[@zimmtex]

I can appreciate your point. Being a relatively new channel, I'm trying all kinds of things. I welcome constructive comments and want to provide my subscribers with content they enjoy. Thank you for watching and thank your for your input.
