Was awesome to see it all in person Nate. Thanks for taking matt and I out. It was a true honor to meet ya. Thanks for being a kind dude willing to share you art with the world. Also thanks for the baits I will send ya some photos of them hanging out of a giant soon.
I watch a lot of UA-cam and you Sir are my favorite creator and artist, by far! You inspired me to create my own wooden baits, a new and rewarding hobby. THANK YOU!
Holy heck, I was like wait, is that the Matt Heckler, like the musician. Yep, it was lol. Him, Jason, Benjamin Tod, Willie Carlisle and all that gang are awesome. Been listening to all those guys on Western AF for ages now, along with watching Marling Baits for years, talk about worlds colliding lol. Btw, great looking little lure!
Nate it's pure joy to watch what you put into the baits you make, and share with your friends. It was a very good video watching you and your friends out together fishing.
I was just wondering myself why he didn't have a 3D printer already. Although I do like watching them carve everything by hand as well. There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to zbrush sculpting
I think a 3D printer would be useful for printing unique shaped bills/tails. But to print the whole bait, seems more like production. What he does now is art.
Outstanding work, Nate! I didn't make one, but I found a Heddon "Tiny Runt" while I was walking the dog today, from what I can tell it's a micro crank from the 60s-70s! I'm not sure when it went out of production, but the metal bill's in great shape, and it has that super cool old-school shoe tree/duck bill shape to the head! Can't wait to clean it up 🎣
Watching you twist the wire on that tiny lip in the vice. Wonderful cinematography. really let me feel the tension and anxiety over whether that would break or not. I see the eye for cinematography with that sweet small mouth slow motion release. Maybe a small sound track will bump up that experience. awesome work.
Nate, you have no idea how much it brightened my day to see you had uploaded a new video. Been dealing with a lot this week. Adjusting to 11 hour shifts starting at 3am, moving into an apartment in a new town, and financial strain on top of it all. Haven't really had a moment to stop and appreciate anything for days, but I just got to watch my favorite UA-camr while packing boxes and things were okay for a while. Thanks for keeping up with what you do. I'm gonna take the vid for one more spin.
i havent recently watched your channel as it has been some time ive spent away from youtube. i remember years ago i used to come to your channel and watch you make your lures to eventually try to catch fish on them. i remember when you made your first one day build to catch and i have missed binge watching them dearly. im glad to be back and also be welcomed by a fresh upload from marling baits. keep up the amazing work man!
What are you chasing? I went fishing here in South East Australia yesterday & had a sick session! It was so fucking cold though ‘cause it’s the middle of winter here haha.
Ok, so I'm going to throw a curveball out there and see what your thoughts may be about it. I want to see a reverse dive bate. I'm tempted to make one from stone and see how it turns out! Put the bill on top and make it rise while retrieving and sink pretty quick on pauses.
If you want a super smooth clear coat, you might want to look at Loon UV Flow or something similar. We use it a lot in fly tying and i thing that would make the process a lot easier as it's much thinner.
My favourite lure is a tiny neutral buoyancy diving lure by Strike King, it’s called the bitsy minnow, I prefer the tiger fire version. It’s great because when bass aren’t biting I can entice smaller fish like perch, sunfish and rock bass and for some reason catching them on a lure is so much more fun then using a bobber setup
It’s perfect for that water!! Great job! It’s hard to find baits that cast well and fish well in shallow small water like that! I love small water fishing!!
Dude!, it was good to see you go fishing, obviously you making lures are the bread & butter videos, and the create/cast/catch vid are badass, it’s good to see you just having fun catching fish. 👊
When you were showing how you make plot put the lip hole all I saw was a puffer fish. Like an aquarium puffer fish. That's a perfect body design for that paint scheme
My favorite lures are small lures because I catch more fish on small lures than large lures. And yes, I catch BIG fish on small lures! Also, my favorite pole is 5 to 6 feet light weight and a 1000 reel.
Hey Mr. Baits, I think I speak for all of us trout fishermen when I say that it would be super cool if you made a life sized sculpin lure, since we’re doing the “average sized baits” I think it would be right in track.
This inspires me to try making my own baits… I would love to see a vid where you don’t use power tools but more of what I’d start with like sandpaper and carving knife only type deal just to see the possibility’s with simple tools
This makes me wanna get my shallow spool out and do a little BFS. Of course i don't have a sweet lure as you're nanodiver but got some nice small cranks. Thanks for sharing.
It's nice seeing something that small with the amazing craftsmanship put into it. I'd love to make something like that to try on the pond rainbow trout around me
Long shot May I ask you to try trout fishing with some of your baits or nano baits please my brother. Thank you for the amazing vids you truly one of goats of bait making South Africa
Have you and the Epic Bait Mold people ever thought about producing packs of your soft plastics for those of us that don't make them ourselves? I'm sure there's a market out there for them
23:20 It's not just a theory, all vertebrates release a hormone called cortisol when highly stressed and whether actively or passively most animals have a reaction to detecting it. Research shows that elevated levels of cortisol in the environment make other fish more likely to flee and if a fish itself has elevated cortisol levels in its blood due to a stressful event it is far less likely to be bold enough to leave cover to feed.
You should try out fingernail chrome powders. You buff it on the sticky layer of the uv after curing. It's really neat. Gives a chrome color shift. You could top coat that and put scales over it. 😍😍😍
You should do a cicada lure. It would be similar to this one in some ways I guess, but it would be cool to do the eyes with all the lens carved in them.
I love the work. Not sayinh u listened to me but im huge unto ur micro series. All about them small hand made lures You are 100% not un appreciated we all enjoy you sharing with us ur knowledge and skills with us on UA-cam. U inspire me to make my own lures.
Was awesome to see it all in person Nate. Thanks for taking matt and I out. It was a true honor to meet ya. Thanks for being a kind dude willing to share you art with the world. Also thanks for the baits I will send ya some photos of them hanging out of a giant soon.
I mean, I think that's pretty average size..
Naw that’s actually
Massive
Your poor wife
We all know it’s not the size that matters, it’s the action
@@caseywood9781 I guess that's why I'm single lmaoo

would love to see more small lures. they're usually more effective, and honestly more fun too.
Same here - amazing how many different species you can catch with small lures and the light tackle makes catching them a lot of fun.
Quicker build with more fishing
Smaller is greater
Incredibly jealous you got to hang out with Matt, he’s one of my favorite artists. That’s kick ass!!
I love these tiny bait videos, keep them coming!
Same dude! I also love fishing tiny baits on ultralight gear, you catch such a variety of fish & even big fish love eating small presentations.
@@-dystopic-Yeah, the bait is not too big for a lot of the fish making it very good
@@ConstipationOverload yeah 100%!
Microbaits are awesome
Nate it's pure joy to watch what you put into the baits you make, and share with your friends. It was a very good video watching you and your friends out together fishing.
love your work . i would love to see you do some 3d printed baits vs your hand made baits
I was just wondering myself why he didn't have a 3D printer already. Although I do like watching them carve everything by hand as well. There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to zbrush sculpting
3d printed lures is a great idea!

Love this small bait series, mini buzz bait next?
bro Matt Heckler!!!!!! Awesome musician and singer!
Love that you got to fish with Matt. I'm a huge fan of his

I thought it was going to break for sure!
I believe that the ability to create a bait that is nano however performs perfectly is quite an achievement, and man you achieve a lot!

Great job! You should try and do underwater footage when testing in the test tank with your go pro!
That’s a good idea!
One day!!!! Always love that. It startles my dogs if I turn my surround speakers on. 😂😂

Ol boy with them suspenders is a hell of a musician!!
I love the fact you made that bait! Made me wanna make one ❤😇🫡
Fishing with Matt Heckler! Very cool to see him in one of your videos
Im either going fishing tonight or tomorrow morning. I would love one of your wooden baits.
What are you chasing? I went fishing here in South East Australia yesterday & had a sick session! It was so fucking cold though ‘cause it’s the middle of winter here haha.
When he came in I was like Matt heckler!???!?? So jealous !!! One of my favs ❤
Oh yeah keep up the great work !! 😂

Cool to see Matt Heckler on here!
4:36 The bait has a cute little smiley face.
Now you need to do a nano -jointed something.
If you want a super smooth clear coat, you might want to look at Loon UV Flow or something similar. We use it a lot in fly tying and i thing that would make the process a lot easier as it's much thinner.
WTH! Matt Heckler! Awesome
Love the blue color scheme! The monochromatic style really looks spiffy.
Just wanna say I started tying my own jigs a little over a year ago, nothing more satisfying than catching something on a lure you made yourself!
I saw Jason O'dea in Detroit with Lost Dog Street Band and it was the best show I've ever seen.
Awesome video as usual! The two nano lures have been a treat! Next one.. nano spook/walk the dog?
The shoe adjusting 🙏🏻 just how awesome and uncut your videos are. Just shows the reality of everything
My favourite lure is a tiny neutral buoyancy diving lure by Strike King, it’s called the bitsy minnow, I prefer the tiger fire version. It’s great because when bass aren’t biting I can entice smaller fish like perch, sunfish and rock bass and for some reason catching them on a lure is so much more fun then using a bobber setup
Love the bitsy Minnow, I think I’ve caught more fish on that thing than any other lure.
Time to bust out the winter baits! I'd love to see how the giant roadrunner works in summer...
Majestic Chip always stealing the show lol. Love your videos and baits!
The deep diving nano lure turned out to be a little shallow diving nano lure. That’s a perfect lure sir well done once again
Might be one of my favorite color schemes you’ve done on a lure! Very cool little bait
Hey Nate.
I’m not sure if you made this vid due to my request, but thanks heaps, it was great to watch/see.
Take care. Al.
Awesome! Found these yesterday, and it has already made my week better!
It’s perfect for that water!! Great job! It’s hard to find baits that cast well and fish well in shallow small water like that! I love small water fishing!!
Dude!, it was good to see you go fishing, obviously you making lures are the bread & butter videos, and the create/cast/catch vid are badass, it’s good to see you just having fun catching fish. 👊
You have effectively made a size 50, Luhr Jensen Hot Shot. Nice work 👍
I like the nano stuff. It's a lot of fun on a small rod setup. Cheers.
When you were showing how you make plot put the lip hole all I saw was a puffer fish. Like an aquarium puffer fish. That's a perfect body design for that paint scheme
My favorite lures are small lures because I catch more fish on small lures than large lures.
And yes, I catch BIG fish on small lures!
Also, my favorite pole is 5 to 6 feet light weight and a 1000 reel.
Thank you and I absolutely love the channel I never miss a video!
I 100% agree with you! Fishing small baits on ultralight gear is so much more fun than fishing bigger lures on heavy gear.
Ultralight fishing is so fun. Just because youre always catching. Sunfish and bluegills are so fast and agressive. Nice 1 day
Genuinely, I LOVE nano baits
I cant stop watching your one day vids, perfecto, masterfully done in such short time
I love the big eyes you always include
Yessir! New marling videos get me hyped. Can’t wait to see what you catch on it.
Dude you met Matt Heckler to go fishing 😮 that’s a good trip!
I go back and watch you other videos so when u post a new one it throws me off 😂 I'm liking this nano series so far
Awesome, beautiful paint job. Love the slo mo releases! Thanks for the content!
Those release shots were so good I expected to hear a “see you later, buddy.” 😜
I love the slow motion releases, awesome 👍
Man that little bait is so pretty. I want it so bad!
always nice to watch a Marling baits video
Good Job on that bait .
Ahhh Spindrift Grapefruit!!! Refreshing in the heat!!! :)
Hey Mr. Baits, I think I speak for all of us trout fishermen when I say that it would be super cool if you made a life sized sculpin lure, since we’re doing the “average sized baits” I think it would be right in track.
The wife always wonders where I get my bed room talk.... your videos are a gold mine sir. " I gotta scuff up that lip" lol
Love the one day videos nights off to a great start
This inspires me to try making my own baits… I would love to see a vid where you don’t use power tools but more of what I’d start with like sandpaper and carving knife only type deal just to see the possibility’s with simple tools
Nice lure 👍🏻. Should make one where the lip is twice as long as the body.
Nate: "Chip, can't you see I'm trying to shoot a video over here?"
Chip: "Nate, haven't you figured out yet that I'm the real star of this show?"
This makes me wanna get my shallow spool out and do a little BFS.
Of course i don't have a sweet lure as you're nanodiver but got some nice small cranks.
Thanks for sharing.
Bro loving the consistency right now keep dropping these ONE ☝🏾 DAYS!! 😂😂❤
That's an awesome little lure love thr color choice
The slow motion releases were cool! Nice bait bro
Very nice. Cool bait. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Micro multi segmented hellgrammite! You'll catch all the fish in the creek!
I loved the close ups of Chip!!! We need more of Chip!
It's nice seeing something that small with the amazing craftsmanship put into it. I'd love to make something like that to try on the pond rainbow trout around me
love the extra fishing in this one
Ever thought about taking one of your micro baits and size them up to a large bait? It would be silly, but fun to watch 😂
Long shot May I ask you to try trout fishing with some of your baits or nano baits please my brother. Thank you for the amazing vids you truly one of goats of bait making South Africa
Nano thermal bait would be a challenging project. Cowabunga.!
I am enjoying these small nano lures, next you gotta do a nano squarebill. 😂😂
Have you and the Epic Bait Mold people ever thought about producing packs of your soft plastics for those of us that don't make them ourselves? I'm sure there's a market out there for them
Casting small lures in the river is my favorite thing. Great vid.
The new release shot is class

I have seen watching you for years😊😊
cool slow-mo release shots!
Yey. Wasnt expecting this and got to enjoy it even more. Thanks nate
You should try out fingernail chrome powders. You buff it on the sticky layer of the uv after curing. It's really neat. Gives a chrome color shift. You could top coat that and put scales over it. 😍😍😍
Pretty neat to see folks that I like listening to in one of your videos. How many more collaborations do you have planned this year?
You should do a cicada lure. It would be similar to this one in some ways I guess, but it would be cool to do the eyes with all the lens carved in them.
I am loving that color scheme 👍👍
It's like you're building lures just for me 👀 I have some amazing places that stuff like that would kill!
That’s going to be a crappie killer for sure !
Love your work....keep it up
Try making a Shield-backed Katydid next perhaps
What’s a Shield-Backed Katydid?
@@-dystopic- it's one weird looking cricket
The one from Namibia to be more specific
@@blackwolftrickshots4201 oh cool, that would make an awesome bait! It’s not those massive super spiky crickets that come in swarms is it?
Honestly I like these timy builds the same if not more than the larger builds
Same here!
You should send some micro lures to BamaBass for him to use on his Pond :)
This is the cutest thing lol. Love it.
Thanks for these videos, again. They truly make my week and it's been an absolute shit week! Haha ❤️❤️❤️
I love the work. Not sayinh u listened to me but im huge unto ur micro series. All about them small hand made lures You are 100% not un appreciated we all enjoy you sharing with us ur knowledge and skills with us on UA-cam. U inspire me to make my own lures.
Dose you have a patrion or a twitch maybe that i can watch u do / have u live demo ur painting skills and processes
Is English not your first language or did you just not pay attention in school? Haha.
I've been watching all the vids and the beautiful paint jobs on the luresade my brain want a cosmic style paint job. That'd be a cool vid!! And lure!!
I've always enjoy your mini lure series, 2 mini lures video in a row? What a treat :)
