3D LURE FOIL SCALES
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2024
- I came up with this idea for 3D scales on lures from watching talented lure makers who hand carve every imaginable detail onto their handmade wooden lures. it was tempting to try my hand at it but I just knew I would get bored with it before I could get good at it..."know thy self?. So I came up with this simple and effective way of getting similar results without all the need for talent and patience. Best of all, with the exception of the scalloping scissors, I'm using stuff most lure makers already have and know how to use. I hope you find this informative.

Really like it, simple technique with good results.
Thanks
Great idea...love it.
Thanks
Damn buddy you sure make it look easy
It's worth the time...
Man that's magical , excellent video thanks for sharing .
Thanks for watching
Great idea, will try it out.
Enjoy.
Your a genius. Lime I said on FB I’ll be up cutting all night try this out. Thanks for sharing your artistic mind and videos.
Thanks...
This is lure making gold. You're whole channel is! Thank you
Wow, thank you!
great little idea 👊
Glad you think so!
Wow! Possibly the most ingenious technique I’ve seen. Awesome!👍👍
Wow, thanks!
Really a great idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will be trying it in the very near future.
Thanks for taking time to video you lure with the scales!
Robert
Thanks. ..did you check out the video where I paint it?

Hi how thick is the foil cheers
Great tip! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
WOW!! As a luremaker I can't tell you how helpful this is! You are a genius, really!! Thank you!! Definitely gained a subscriber.
Thank you so much...I love the idea of offering up a little of what I have figured out ot fellow lure makers and fishers.
Awesome!!!
Just ordered a pair of those shears. 👍
Enjoy
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi, A great tutorial, love all the programs you’ve done.
Thanks
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. I am going to give this a try for sure.
Haha! I guess the secret is out now! Great job! I have been doing this scale pattern with the tape for about 3 years now. I don't use the scissors though, I use a Fiskars rotary paper cutter with a scallop edge blade. I don't cut it on the centerline as neat as you do but I coat them with epoxy before I do so I can hide the seams when I paint them. Great job!
Nice!...it seemed like such an obvious extension of foiling I was surprised that others were not doing it. Great idea to use the rotary cutter, I bet it's much faster.
Great job. Thinking outside the box.
Great idea!
I have done something similar to this but just by cutting out by hand ://. The scalloping scissors will make that much easier!
Thank you for the tip!
This is way cool. Great idea. I will definately be giving it a try. Thanks!
Meus parabéns esta isca artificial artesanal ficou show de bola.
Excellent.
Really good idea. I use a lot of foil on my lures and will definitely try this
Thank you for showing it
This is cool.
Glad you liked it!
I’m with you, those scale carving dudes like Mikko at SolarBait are likely not human lol. Now this technique I can handle, great idea, now to dig through the kids craft stuff again, I know they’ve got scissors like this somewhere!
Great job. It's useful
Hi
I try to do this few years ago it didn't work for me but now I saw why, my scissor were very cheap, yours looks very good ones and professional, I instead used a paper hole puncher and place the scales one by one.. but this is a good one, awesome thanks
thanks...I think when I paint it ...it will be even cooler looking.
great tip
awesome job, again. I can honestly say, I won't be attempting this one. I had an idea for scales for a lure, sketched it all out and coloured it the way I wanted, and it ended there. maybe one day, way, way in the future, but a tad too tedious for me right now.
Awesome video!
How did you compete the top and bottom of the lure with foil scales? Seemed like on the video you explained how to do the sides. The end result in the video looked amazing just looking for clarification on joining the sides together
Thanks!!
There's a seam where they come together on top and bottom
Very very very good..!! I have some pics for you where I'm using your adapters to shoot some top water baits...!! I'm hooked on you and Jamie from FB.... thanks
Absolutely, send me the photos to EngineeredAngler@gmail.com, Thanks. I'm glad your liking the holder mod.
Very neat, I actually did something very similar years ago as an experiment and it didn't come out looking as good as yours did though.
Thanks man, I really like your stuff. Iv'e been checking out your channel for a while now.
Oh nice to see you are here as well hahaha
Been enjoying your videos. How does the added weight of foil affect lure action
It will affect the final weight but buy very little. And if you are placing the foil uniformly over the body, the lure action really is not changed.
Hi. What is the roll of silver foil called please. This is exactly what I'm after. Great vid. Thanks
Aluminum HVAC tape
Love your work ,I'm in penzance cornwall England I fish for sea bass and just started making lures ,one copy in particular is a Sandeel, top bait for bass ,plenty of examples but was hoping for a fresh perspective , I've been borrowing and adapting your ideas if that's OK, cheers
Sounds great! I put my ideas and techniques out there for everyone to use freely. Cheers.
Man, I just stumbled onto your channel. This is brilliant!
Thanks man. You should check out the give away video...only a handful have entered the odds are pretty good....
Engineered Angler will do!
@@EngineeredAngler I shared this video on a few lure building forums, hope you don't mind! Again, love your content! Gotta get you over 1000!

Absolutely please share at will. I'm trying to build a channel that is self sustaining but the youtube search algorithm is burying me. So the more views and likes and shares I get the more likely my videos will come up on searches. Thank you.
Great videos on making realistic scales, ordered two scissors
Here is info on a tool that I use to make scales on kitchen foils, works great, its a roller and they have 7 sizes its called the Mac-Z-Scaler sold by McKenzie Taxidermy
Good tip...ill have to get one and try it.
The foil tape comes in different mill thicknesses,what one/s do you use say for these scales and the ones for the impressions.
I'm buying the HVAC tape they sell at the hardware store...there's no thicknesses mentioned on the label.
I buy HVAC tape from the local hardware store...there's no thickness on the label.
Hope you don't mind if I copy your idea a bit! I just received my scalloped shears in the mail! Should have ordered the 7mm ones as the lure I'm foiling is 10". What a neat effect!
Cool...love to hear you think it's worth trying. I would love to see photos...
Just finished up the foil today. Now to set up my paint station. Is that just isopropyl alcohol you use to wipe the black paint off? How can I send you a pic?
Hi, this is something I’ve just worked out and came to that conclusion that I need 7mm shears,the other thing is how thick is the aluminium tape.
Have you tried or considered making a mold after doing that?
That's actually a good idea that I have not tried.
I wonder if you can go around the whole bait, to do 2 sides at once??
You can... it's just hard for me to cut pieces that long
AH! Pinking Shears.
do you think they stand up well enough to use on a mold master?
If you're making a silicon mold...absolutely.
Engineered Angler may be a new way to make scales on my mold masters. thank you!
Scissors are not available in ebay, somebody know where i can get it??
Search for scalloping scissors or pinking scissors.
Check out the description on the video I updated the link the something on Amazon
How would that work as a master for a silicon mold to make resin baits have you tried it?
Sure it works fine as a master to make a mold. You can then put foil over the lure, that you cast with the scale details, and still get a nice reflective surface and scales.
