    I've been watching Marling Baits for years now, and Nate still catches me off my guard. "Hello, I have inflamed bronchial tubes". Lol. Get better soon.

    WOAH, not going to lie, that is some of the most serious action I've ever seen from a bait. Some of your best work!!! That bait is going to catch you MONSTERS in the spring! Can't wait to see when you make this baby OMEGA-fishal. Cheers and Tight Lines! Happy New Year Nate!

    The shape of this one (fiber optics or not) it has a fullness to it that makes it look amazing. All of your baits are excellent but that one does it for me….

    Hey Nate I bought some UV resin for random projects and I gota say that stuff is excellent. I've used it in place of super glue to glue stone to wood in a quick repair job as well as fixing plastic items here and there. Thanks for introducing me to chinese UV resin so many years ago. 😂

    I might try slice the middle of the fiber and place in something that looks suspended in the dot. Maybe a small marble or something. Beautiful bait like always and thank you for the video.

  • @Jaxd9795
    @Jaxd9795 5 місяців тому +3

    I think you should put some reflective flake in the the glue you use to adhere to fiber optic filament inside the bait. That way you don't have to put paint over the end of it and dull its brightness, but you will still get whatever color you want it to be through the reflective flake.

  • @Dansplains
    @Dansplains 5 місяців тому

    Acrylic tube, no stuff on the outside. Works with sheets of acrylic too, the edges carry the light, the faces act as mirrors facing each other inwards. Works with glass too!

  • @Pondbassbuster
    @Pondbassbuster 5 місяців тому

    I love the paint scheme!!!

  • @davidpritchett855
    @davidpritchett855 5 місяців тому +9

    So there are multiple types of fiber optic filaments. The idea is that any light that gets inside is reflected off the side walls of the tube but the outside is typically translucent so they can accumulate light down the length of the fiber optic. Think of it like a pipe made of one-way mirror material. They're often used in firearm optics bent in a U shape with the external portion of the fiber optic accumulating light and it is then emitted towards the shooter for the sights. I think this could be absolutely killer on a cigar top water bait. Run a thin fiber optic along the dorsal then through the body so that light is emitted near the attachment points of the hooks at the rear and the belly. It's always fun to add new materials to projects you're used to!

    Thanks for entertaining us even when you are sick. It would be interesting to laminate smaller fibre optic rods together to be the scales on the fish....tinted epoxy resin to form the body holding a hundred or so rods in place.....that would be interesting.

    Nate, I got a comment for this fiber optic stuff. The material "gathers light" from the sides, and "pipes" the light to the cut ends. If you really want the material to literally shine, make a bait with it running along the spine, or backbone of the lure. Any part of the side of the fiber optic that won't have light shine on it cover with reflective foil to really intensify the light.

    20:53 A couple idea if you like. One with a bait that has the outside of the cable untouched like this beautiful one is, but add color in the epoxy mix or the cinder wall before glue up. I am so curious if that would pop. Ooor you could put glider in the epoxy mix. I don't know 😅.

    A little tip to help you always find your drill press key is to put a magnet on the front of it and stick the key to it. Make sure to put it at eye level if you can.

    @andrewkraftchick6325 5 місяців тому

    I think you should try a popping frog bait with Fibre optic in the middle of the bait..this way the light is always shining down on it. You could place several pieces together and join them with clear resin to then insert into the body of the lure. Also add translucent paint to it! Awesome work keep it up. Get well soon!
