I have been sick in bed for almost 3 months. I took my covid vaccine in early December and I got very sick immediately! I have gone to the emergency ward, 4 times for breathing problems. Sorry for the delay! I will publish one or possibly two more parts to this video.

Ohh no, I'm sorry about that 😢 . There's no rush for the videos. Take your time, follow the instructions from the doctor and get well soon. God bless you.

No smoking just hard to start.

Yes, Greg Budd. He is brilliant! He has fabulous attention to detail!

I have never added rattlers. I will check into this. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you kindly

I have been busy with summer outside work!

So many lures.....so little time! Ha Ha!

@@allandoell1025 waiting for the videos ...

Yes there are more than one way to skin a cat! I have used an internal wire channel for 5 years with good results. The only negative thing I found is you must use very little wood glue to hold them together temporarily. With the poppers you must use enough glue to hold the lure together on the lathe. Thank you for your comments! Keep making those lures!

@@allandoell1025 thanks you too

the balance value/lead to trolling

The lure is 10 1/4" long by 1 1/2" wide and weighs about one lbs. (454 g). To get an outline drawing, watch one of my UA-cam videos and pause the screen when you see a good side view. Take a picture of the lure with your camera. Now copy this picture into a Microsoft Word document. It is now an object and can be made bigger or larger proportionally by dragging one of the corner control boxes. Very quick and simple!

I totally agree with you Chris. The aluminum foil is more controllable and I can use it inside my house. No toxic issues. The aluminum does get some krinkles in it but you can usually hide them on the back. The belly krinkles are tougher to hide. I saw a Budd's Baits video a few days ago where he showed how to use a two part clear coat on his lures then sanded the aluminum edges flush. He used Carvello CC2 Clear Coat! Very interesting! I have not tried any other chrome paints.

Hi, again, Allan. Thanks for your follow-up. In a remarkable stroke of irony, I have been trying to figure out the best means to tell you about my friend Greg Budd's method for creating gill plates on his extraordinary jerk baits! Have you seen it in his videos?

I started to watch Budd's videos about 2 weeks ago. I spotted the gill plates and side fins immediately but I could not find the video where he discussed how to make them. I was looking for Conquistador Part 2 but couldn't find it so I went to Part 3 and found the details. I have a few lures to finish off then I am going to make some stick baits using his gill method.

@@allandoell1025 Greg and I got to know each other through that Conquistador series. He is not only an extraordinarily talented lure designer and builder, but also a very fine human being. I'm in the process of coaxing him to do more videos; hope I eventually succeed! I have encountered just one other lure-maker who uses the gill-plate application technique. He is Paul Adams, a Brit who used to post terrific videos on his channel "The Handmade Fisherman." (Now he only does cell-phone "shorts." ) If you go to minute 5:25 int Part 2 of Paul’s “build a crankbait series," he describes and demonstrates making gill plates out of foil instead of carving them. Here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/1YbLwJ1QLPQ/v-deo.html

Thanks for your comments!

I staked them on a trestle and cut off any suckers. I had many beautiful tomatoes. I have switched back to growing determinate tomatoes. My favorite eating tomato is 'Tidy Rose"! This is a bush tomato that does not lend itself to staking. Best tasting tomato I have every had. I am growing some purple tomatoes this year as well. Good luck with your garden!

You would either have to replace the ss thru wire or weld on a new rear loop. I am not sure how you would re-attach the belly loop. Sorry but I can not help you. I use 3/32 ss which is really tough! Good luck with your GT!

@@allandoell1025 thanks for your reply.

@@allandoell1025 Where do you buy this wire in USA?

@@bigmil1 I buy mine at a welding store!

I caught covid on a tuna trip then I had a heart problem. 2022 was a tough year for me but I am back now!

@@allandoell1025 oh sorry 😔 Glad to hear that you are ok 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

Thankyou for sharing! Normally I would carve the gills but there is very little wood on the sides because of the large amount of lead in the lure.

@@allandoell1025 Try adding the gills instead of carving them I do this on 6 cm minnows, I use 240 gram paper thin enough to do a good job. Sorry about the measurements but I am Italian and use the metric system (invention of Napoleon Bonaparte) When will you post the second part?

@@giovanniallegro3790 I am targeting May 15 for Part 2.

15 mm are the size in the video. I use eyes from 7 mm to 20 mm for my various lures.

@@allandoell1025 thank you senior for the information, greetings are always healthy and greetings from one hobby

I am glad you enjoy my video.

So nice of you

@@allandoell1025 Thank you again senior greetings one hobby of lure artisans and we still want to learn a lot seniors

Always a pleasure! I am surprised that this video has one my highest views.

It is tough to get action shots. One person to drive the boat, one person to hold the rod and another to hold the camera. When a lure is first put in the water, it must be tuned. The front stainless loop must be bent left or right depending on how the lure tracks behind the boat. As the lure starts to track directly behind the boat, the trolling speed can be increased. Smaller adjustments are required the faster you troll. You will ulitmately hit a sweet spot. 8 mph is the speed you need the lure to swim at. Several times my lures have crashed into the muddy bottom of the lake. I must admit however that I have not been able to repeat the deep diving in salt water. The ocean currents behind a large boat are very complicated. They can hit almost from any direction and cause the lure to tumble. This also happens to the commercial lures that they are design from!

Glad you enjoyed it

Safety is important to everyone! The poppers I spin on the lathe are made of 2 pieces of wood that are very lightly glued together. After the sanding is done, I split them into 2 pieces and install the stainless steel thru wires and add holes for lead weights. I had a popper fly apart and give me a nasty bruise on my knuckle. Mmm! What to do? I chose to wear good quality leather gloves for safety. The leather gloves have nothing hanging down to catch on the work piece. I would never use cloth gloves! Thank you for your comments.

Thanks!

I have a friend who uses molds to make his large Wahoo lures. I suspect getting in the large amount of lead required for this lure would be an issue for both methods. I like pouring the lead in my lures. The lead is balanced from side to side and you can control the overall weight. They have a tremendous action! I caught 3 Wahoo with my lures this April. All were around 40 lbs. I caught 2 on the red lure featured on the cover picture for this this video and another one using a hot pink lure. These are the best lures I have ever made!

Have a look at this video for application of epoxy. This video series, has several videos on applying epoxy. ua-cam.com/video/a9MgeatUgjE/v-deo.html

I use Art Resin. I always get 'fisheyes' on the first coat of epoxy. They go away after the second and third coat. I warm my epoxy in the microwave. About 15 seconds depending on the room temperature. I heat it in 5 second increments until the epoxy goes from cloudy to clear. I continue to mix for at least 2 minutes. I use a hot air gun to remove bubbles before application. I always use a spinner for my epoxy. Three coats are required.

Thanks for watching!

Glad it helped

Thanks

Hi Chris. Thank you for your comments. I use Elmer's ProBond Max for all my wood gluing. It is rated ANSI Type 1 Waterproof and it's available at Home Depot! I just got back from a long distance fishing trip. I caught 2 Wahoo with my lures. The biggest was 50 lbs.. Both lures I used look very chewed on, which is great. The 2 layers of 2 part epoxy coatings took a real beating!

@@allandoell1025 Thanks for the follow-up! Chris

@@labtrainer09 Always a pleasure sharing.

The DTX auto-tune system is not easy to reproduce. I think one thing I could try would be to remove some of the epoxy in the area near the front loop of the lure. I will give this more thought to see if there is a reasonable option to implement this type of self centering/tuning. Centering/tuning these lures is the biggest problem I have with them. I have a box of finished lures that do swim well at 10 mph.

@@allandoell1025 I wish you luck and hope you succeed. If ti works, you will save yourself a lot of time testing. What did you sell your lures foe if you don't mind me asking.

@@Fatlouey17 I do not openly seek out selling my lures. I have given away many to people who are interested in trying them.

The two part epoxy I use to finish the lure is a high gloss. I use a barbeque rotisserie, to turn my lures while the the epoxy is hardening. Hardening can take up to 10 hours. The epoxy flows over the lure and evens it out. I use 3 coats of 'Art Resin' for my lures.

@@allandoell1025 i mean after paint with. looking glass

@@davehall3475 Coat #1-3 were 3 layers of white Tremclad oil based paint over the raw wood. Sanding lightly between coat. Coat #4 was black paint Coat #5 was 2 part epoxy and turned for 10 hours Coat 6 - ? was the Looking Glass Coat #7 was a second coat of 2 part epoxy At this point I added gills and side fins plus the stripes over the back. Coat# 8 was another layer of 2 part epoxy with a bit of sparkle on the tail. Coat #9 was the last coat of 2 part epoxy.

Thank you!

The mirror finishes are very interesting but are certainly more difficult to use.

I just returned from a 15 day long distance fishing trip. The boat caught many tuna on their kite with artificial flying fish. Another person on board caught tuna with their artificial flying fish. They used helium from the boat to keep their balloons away from the lures. My wings were too dark. I tried for several hours but could not get a bite.

I use 200 lbs. fluorocarbon leaders for Wahoo. The deep divers can certainly be tough to tune. You need to use a split ring on the front loop to tie your leader on. Start trolling slowly. Increase the speed slowly until the lure starts to drift left or right. If the lure drifts to your right, as you look at it, bend the front loop to the left. you should now be able to increase your trolling speed. Increase your speed slowly again until the lure starts to drift right or left. Do this until you get to the desired speed. As you increase in speed, bend the front loop smaller amounts. I test my Wahoo lures in fresh water, I have got them down 30 feet. I know this because I could feel them slam into the lake bottom. I brought up mud and weeds several times.

Some material in the front of the popper is removed to leave a hollow. Air gets trapped in the hollow and is compressed when the lure is jerked forward. When the lure slows down, the compressed air is released which makes a popping sound. The terms concave and convex are terms most often used when discussing lenses. I do not want to debate which one is correct. Thanks for your comment.

@@allandoell1025 no debate. Just correcting a misspoken word.

@@MultiWhoswho I always appreciate comments about my videos. It is the only way I can improve my videos. I just returned from a 15 day long distance trip. I caught a Wahoo on one of my lures. Yipeeeee! I also made a friend in San Diego who loves my poppers. I will bring some show and tell lures for him to see in April.

@@allandoell1025 that’s awesome. I’m a bit jealous. Always wanted to catch a wahoo. The poppers are very nice. You do good work.

@@MultiWhoswho Thanks! It took 4 years to develop my lures and my skills. I am happy to share my experiences!

I had the same problem.

Each Deep Diver has to be tested and tuned to swim correctly. They are quite temperamental. I would feel very bad if I sold one and found out the purchaser had problems with it.

It is very tough to get an accurate hole by drilling the hole in the lure after it has been turned on the lathe. Cutting the channel prior to gluing the two halves together is very easy to do and every hole is perfect. The glued lure is very hard to break apart and should be able to take lots of abuse from sharp toothed fish.

That is exactly how I do it. I have seen this method on several UA-cam videos. It work great. Thanks for your comment.

Any time!

I will look into a needle fish lure.

There are a lot of common activities between all of my lure build videos. The wood work, thru wire installation and decorating are almost identical. I am thinking of making shorter videos and referring to previous details for more detail. Thank you for your comments. I get to try out my flying fish lures in January of 2022.

Appreciated
