I've just realised in February next year it'll be 10 years since I subscribed to your channel, and I've enjoyed watching every video you have posted. Thank you for sharing.😊
It's funny how some of these videos are four years old, and you seemed genuinely surprised by that fact. Yet, I've watched most of them recently, so I went in my head like: "No, man, you made that one 5 days ago!" Anyways, great videos! Keep up the good work! Best regards from Serbia, Europe!
Appreciate you and these videos greatly. Enjoy your time with Chip, he seems like a top notch companion. Just had to put down my best friend of 12 years after doing the same a few months back with his brother. They were the absolute best, ill miss those boys immensely. Thanks for the distraction in the meantime
normally I try to watch your videos as soon as they are posted, but when I saw the title , I waited until all distractions could be completed. now with cold beer and fat bowl I press play for an hour of Marling !!!!!
I don’t care what you do, and as fishing in the UK is nothing like it is there, I don’t really understand what you’re talking about, but for years, I’ve really enjoyed your company. Thank you.
I think it was this past summer I decided to make a pike spoon with some brass and it did pretty good. I think I had the spoon to hook ratio wrong though cause I never caught anything but I got a TON of stikes. It also came flying off the line when I cast but I was able to get it back. Even put my makers mark for my knives on it.
Took only 2 of your videos to inspire me to make my own one day build lure. Now I am banned from asking my mom for nail polish🤣. Made a cute little 7 Grams(1/4 Oz) Pine lure. Awesome content love the videos.
My dad was an only child of a couple in which "Mom" taught at a one room schoolhouse and "Dad" was a middle manager at a factory. If I had said, "I picked and choosed" in front MY dad, I would have spent a good deal of my life explaining how that was wrong. As it was, I spent a solid 15 years being asked "What's 6x8? (and/or) 8x6?" Don't get me wrong. This is jealousy. Not condescension. Big love and much hugs to you and yours this holiday season! Haperry Christmuhannukwanzimas!
I’ve followed you for a couple years now. I think you need to get a lure retriever for those lures that get snagged on the first cast. Some of the lures don’t get shake at catching a fish.
No, I was sure you wouldn't do anymore. I am super happy that it's back though. Block of wood, omegafishal all day long. My favorite video and lure of all time.
Feel like the block should be a lot higher, even buddies that don't watch as often know you from that bait. I have seen forums that know you only by that build. I think it helped your channel a lot.
I almost spit up my drink when you described the huge ice grubs! I think the block of wood should be bfishal though. Awesome to go back through and see your progression painting and all. Good stuff!
I’ve been watching the channel for awhile, I think the first video I watched was the the 100 piece snake lure of the 100,000 subscriber video. I can’t believe it’s been that long, but one video I’m still waiting for is the part 2 for the Pregnant Bluegill Lure. I need to know if you ever finished it or if you are waiting for another milestone with the family for a part 2. Either way I will continue to wait for it, whether it takes another 4 years or not. Happy fishing till then!🎣💕
That's nuts, this morning I watched some of your videos for the first time in months, and I saw the other bait rating video and I was like "huh I wonder if he's made another one" then went about my day. Just about to go to bed and I see this lol
Man watching these make me feel so old now🥲 I've been around since the middle of the wooden reel.. I remember ALL of these. Honestly, I think you're the ONLY channel I've kept up with, which is crazy to me. Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia :) it's really really appreciated
I subscribed on the dingle bait, I think you should do more ice fishing stuff! I know how you feel about ice fishing but it got this Canadian to watch almost every video since!
I will say, your videos are often about experimental baits, so having a large number of fails isn't a bad thing, it's part of the process of finding out what can be official. This is a fun recap, though!
Dang man I made it to @26:00 the other day and looking forward to finishing. You had me dying laughing since your so obsessed and critical yet chill at the same time. I really needed that laugh and thanks for all the entertaining videos! I used to take my fishing stuff too seriously and love your energy. Even though I think I sent you something a long time ago that probably made it straight to the bin. 😮😅
You should plan destination trips and do a series of videos making baits for that trip for whatever it is you are targeting. Win, win, win. Vacation, catch new fish, more content ideas.
Have you ever considered Vacuum Pressure Impregnation for the sealing process when you make a bait that you want to use in the rocks for a long time? You just soak it in the urethane for a while, while inside of a vacuum chamber. It pulls the urethane into the outer layer of the wood, making the mechanical bond to the wood very strong, and makes a thicker layer, too.
You should collaborate with Bamabass and take a bunch of your lures down to his pond and try them out. Ofishalize some of those that have yet to catch anything.
I can't remember a time when I wasn't watching you make fishing lures. I DO remember WHY I started watching you make fishing lures though and it was so that I could learn how to use artificial baits. Then I saw you catch a bass on a 3" by 1" block of wood and gave up because I knew that I could never accomplish such a miraculous feat.
Youve done some Fine Baits in your tubecareer ! Its Truly Inspiring Work ! Perhaps some fun Icelures for the Winter period ? I know youve made a few but why not some larger?
I have been looking forward to this video for so long. I was getting worried it wasn’t going to happen. Can you show a close up picture of the bait for like 5 seconds while you are talking about it? You could probably use the thumbnail for most of them
You should go magnet fishing in your kayak to see how many lures you can retrieve in a video. Also add a giant treble hook on the other end of the rope and you can grab logs that have baits stuck in them
I’d love to see are some Australian native fish, for us Aussie followers…Murray cod have insanely detailed colouring or Mangrove jack…or some other interesting fish such as arowana or mahi mahi
You skipped my bait!😅 im the one that bought 93. Im sad to say i have fished pike but haven’t cought anything yet, im a bit afraid to use it😅 but its very beautiful and I’m proud to have it
Can you possibly do a video on the epic bait molds 2in backup swiming??? I cant find a single video, i was looking for a 2in swimbait mold but but would like to know little kick, is it erratic what theres not much on them
09:59 Nate - if you rotate your über boujee cork board 90° counter clockwise, then it will look like every legit observational sample chart (bell curve) with 98% of data found within 2 std deviations from the mean (think back to your STATS 1102 class) your baits’ rankings mean is between B & C. so, chunking up those areas is normal & not Nate not knowing what he’s doing. you have to trust me on this…I made a B or C in that early Stats Course nearly 20 years ago, as an undergrad. these looks back look backs are cool, but also remind me of how freaking quickly life passes…a youthful Chip & pre-children Marlings (you two) doesn’t seem *that* long ago, does it?! keep on truckin’ Homie. you’re still killin’ it & have made a pretty cool community out of your subbers & biz partners along the way…and we actually know how dorky you truly are (we sense our own) cheers, Dude.
It would be really cool if you made a musky lure and made yourself catch a musky with it. Not a lure that is a musky but a lure for musky. Even if its just pre made parts that you custom paint would still be pretty cool imo.
I would like to see a platypus bait, I feel like the bass would like it
CURSE YOU PERRY THE PLATYPUS!!!
What about a Manatee bait for trophy LARGE mouth.
why do I feel like he's done this one... might be the duck lure I am thinking of...
How about a baby seal for pike?
I was about to say I’m pretty sure he’s done this before…
I definitely love the idea of catching up, then ranking the baits with every video. It’ll add just that more to the channel in the future!
i agree
It would have that well rounded "Fishing series feeling" like River Monsters Jeremy Wade, if you catch my drift :D
I've just realised in February next year it'll be 10 years since I subscribed to your channel, and I've enjoyed watching every video you have posted.
Thank you for sharing.😊
The intro was absolutely epic, also i would kill to see a blobfish lure
It's funny how some of these videos are four years old, and you seemed genuinely surprised by that fact. Yet, I've watched most of them recently, so I went in my head like: "No, man, you made that one 5 days ago!" Anyways, great videos! Keep up the good work!
Best regards from Serbia, Europe!
Yes so happy you made another one fr.
You ought to make a steam boat lure with one of those wheels on the back to throw up water. Sounds cool to me.
Appreciate you and these videos greatly. Enjoy your time with Chip, he seems like a top notch companion. Just had to put down my best friend of 12 years after doing the same a few months back with his brother. They were the absolute best, ill miss those boys immensely. Thanks for the distraction in the meantime
I have to say I enjoy the river bank builds. They are very fun to watch.
normally I try to watch your videos as soon as they are posted, but when I saw the title , I waited until all distractions could be completed.
now with cold beer and fat bowl I press play for an hour of Marling !!!!!
I’m so happy you are continuing this! I’d see it in videos in the background and wonder if you were going to continue it!!!
I don’t care what you do, and as fishing in the UK is nothing like it is there, I don’t really understand what you’re talking about, but for years, I’ve really enjoyed your company. Thank you.
Even though you feel that the octopus lure was a flop I feel you can feed off of it. I thought it was an amazing design and great idea
I think it was this past summer I decided to make a pike spoon with some brass and it did pretty good. I think I had the spoon to hook ratio wrong though cause I never caught anything but I got a TON of stikes. It also came flying off the line when I cast but I was able to get it back.

Took only 2 of your videos to inspire me to make my own one day build lure. Now I am banned from asking my mom for nail polish🤣. Made a cute little 7 Grams(1/4 Oz) Pine lure. Awesome content love the videos.
The block was what brought me here. So many of these are when I started to follow you before subscribing around the stone lure.
My dad was an only child of a couple in which "Mom" taught at a one room schoolhouse and "Dad" was a middle manager at a factory.
If I had said, "I picked and choosed" in front MY dad, I would have spent a good deal of my life explaining how that was wrong.
As it was, I spent a solid 15 years being asked "What's 6x8? (and/or) 8x6?"
Don't get me wrong.
This is jealousy.
Not condescension.
Big love and much hugs to you and yours this holiday season!
Haperry Christmuhannukwanzimas!
I was waiting for this day for years! YEARS!! ok maybe one year but it felt longer. Thank you for this
I’ve followed you for a couple years now. I think you need to get a lure retriever for those lures that get snagged on the first cast. Some of the lures don’t get shake at catching a fish.
I love these videos. I honestly never thought you would make another ranking
Its finally back!
The block of wood was my intro to the channel, and I've gotten several others hooked using that video
#60 has been one of my all time favorite baits and videos you have made
No, I was sure you wouldn't do anymore. I am super happy that it's back though.
Block of wood, omegafishal all day long. My favorite video and lure of all time.
Thanks for introducing me into luremaking! ❤
Feel like the block should be a lot higher, even buddies that don't watch as often know you from that bait. I have seen forums that know you only by that build. I think it helped your channel a lot.

looking forward to the next installments!
Woooo finally the second in the series!!! So good to see Chip. Can’t wait for the next one!
That's nuts, this morning I watched some of your videos for the first time in months, and I saw the other bait rating video and I was like "huh I wonder if he's made another one" then went about my day. Just about to go to bed and I see this lol
I agree. The new and improved mantis lure will be SUPERMEGOFISHAL
On to the next bait!
Been wondering when this series would come back!
The corncob deserves better. Very fun idea, looks great, caught a lot! And also many Ds were actually Cs.
Man watching these make me feel so old now🥲 I've been around since the middle of the wooden reel.. I remember ALL of these. Honestly, I think you're the ONLY channel I've kept up with, which is crazy to me.
Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia :) it's really really appreciated
I remember the baby muskie the first time I came across your videos and I was amazed with how it turned out !!!
I subscribed on the dingle bait, I think you should do more ice fishing stuff! I know how you feel about ice fishing but it got this Canadian to watch almost every video since!
I will say, your videos are often about experimental baits, so having a large number of fails isn't a bad thing, it's part of the process of finding out what can be official. This is a fun recap, though!
Thanks for the memories.
Super bored thanks for giving me something to do for an hour!
The one day bass popper was the first video I saw from you. Got me hooked lol
Dang man I made it to @26:00 the other day and looking forward to finishing. You had me dying laughing since your so obsessed and critical yet chill at the same time. I really needed that laugh and thanks for all the entertaining videos! I used to take my fishing stuff too seriously and love your energy. Even though I think I sent you something a long time ago that probably made it straight to the bin. 😮😅
Just last week I was wondering if you were going to make another ranking video... It's a Christmas miracle!
I still have the original flub dub you snagged. Keep it up . I truly enjoy your baits. They simply catch fish
May you and yours have a good Christmas and a happy new year ..
Happy happy to you all 👍
I love seeing these videos!! I go back and look at some of the things I made and wonder why I ever made it lol
About time lol been seeing the old board on the floor in your videos.
Chip should be employee of the month every month like my Phoebe is on my gardening channel. Chip is a joy.
This was a very fun video to watch. Look forward to the next one!
I’ve been waiting for this video to come out. I love the first one.
yepp, can relate. And thinking about it now, yeah would do it again.
It’s official, your creativity is on another level
You should plan destination trips and do a series of videos making baits for that trip for whatever it is you are targeting. Win, win, win. Vacation, catch new fish, more content ideas.
Have you ever considered Vacuum Pressure Impregnation for the sealing process when you make a bait that you want to use in the rocks for a long time?

It pulls the urethane into the outer layer of the wood, making the mechanical bond to the wood very strong, and makes a thicker layer, too.
I've been waiting for this video sens part 1 super excited
As a lure collector, some of these deserve a C imo because of the craftsmanship and effort involved.
You should collaborate with Bamabass and take a bunch of your lures down to his pond and try them out. Ofishalize some of those that have yet to catch anything.
I think we need a block of wood update at non-private ponds haha
I think you ought to do an arapaima those are awesome looking fish it'll be a great paint and scale challenge
One thing I will say, ice fishing lake trout is definitely exciting, lol!
Nate, you’re in excellent shape! 💪
I can't remember a time when I wasn't watching you make fishing lures. I DO remember WHY I started watching you make fishing lures though and it was so that I could learn how to use artificial baits. Then I saw you catch a bass on a 3" by 1" block of wood and gave up because I knew that I could never accomplish such a miraculous feat.
ITS BACK!!!
Youve done some Fine Baits in your tubecareer ! Its Truly Inspiring Work !
Perhaps some fun Icelures for the Winter period ? I know youve made a few but why not some larger?
I’ve been waiting for this video all year
That dingle bait is one of my favorites. I think that would crush it if it got a fair chance.
I have been looking forward to this video for so long. I was getting worried it wasn’t going to happen. Can you show a close up picture of the bait for like 5 seconds while you are talking about it? You could probably use the thumbnail for most of them
Cowabunga episode mate.! Ever try a Goanna lure.? Have a great Christmas & safe New Year Marling Bait & family. Cheers from Australia.
Man im already looking forward to the next video
The twin engine plane bait was the Grumman F7F Tigercat. Definitely better designed for flying through the air than swimming in a lake.
Yooooooo, I've been waiting so long bro, keep up the amazing projects man. Much love❤️
"It didn't dingle" I laughed way too hard at that. 😂
Goliath tiger fish! This video is what I needed to help me get through this hang over 🤣🤦🏽♂️
I really want you to put some more time fishing that musky lure after ice out. That was one of my favorites and it deserves more than a C.
i saw this and was hoping to see chip, Not disappointed at all keep up the content hope winter does well for you!
I was waiting for this video. Phenomenal
Baby Muskie will be forever in our hearts.
"How you like that for transparency?"
😂best line
Heart broken that the worlds smallest crank didn’t get omega, that was the first video I ever seen and loved it. Plus 6 species
Did you make a bait smaller than the dingle bait and go ice fishing with it
You should go magnet fishing in your kayak to see how many lures you can retrieve in a video. Also add a giant treble hook on the other end of the rope and you can grab logs that have baits stuck in them
Yes, please catch up and rank them after you've made them and fished them!!!
#77. We've all been there lol 😅 many a bait lost on the WI River banks
The baby musky might be the single bait that got me into your channel
You're a legend Marlin 👊
I’d love to see are some Australian native fish, for us Aussie followers…Murray cod have insanely detailed colouring or Mangrove jack…or some other interesting fish such as arowana or mahi mahi
You skipped my bait!😅 im the one that bought 93.
Im sad to say i have fished pike but haven’t cought anything yet, im a bit afraid to use it😅 but its very beautiful and I’m proud to have it
I need to know where you locate you stencils for painting gills. My craft shops have nothing
YES ITS BACK!
I remember the upside down lure you at one point purposely tied a bad knot trying to loose it but it stayed on lol
Can you possibly do a video on the epic bait molds 2in backup swiming??? I cant find a single video, i was looking for a 2in swimbait mold but but would like to know little kick, is it erratic what theres not much on them
Don't hold back Chip! Say what you gotta say! Be you!
I am here for Chip✌
You should remaster some of the lower ranked baits in the springtime and see if they are truly not ofishal.
Your videos are always fun to watch. Could you please make a Vampire Bat for Halloween next year, and do fun facts about it.
Finaly part 2🎉🎉🎉
Thank you,I make bucktail musky/pike,you make me think outta box,
09:59 Nate - if you rotate your über boujee cork board 90° counter clockwise, then it will look like every legit observational sample chart (bell curve) with 98% of data found within 2 std deviations from the mean (think back to your STATS 1102 class)
your baits’ rankings mean is between B & C. so, chunking up those areas is normal & not Nate not knowing what he’s doing. you have to trust me on this…I made a B or C in that early Stats Course nearly 20 years ago, as an undergrad.
these looks back look backs are cool, but also remind me of how freaking quickly life passes…a youthful Chip & pre-children Marlings (you two) doesn’t seem *that* long ago, does it?!
keep on truckin’ Homie. you’re still killin’ it & have made a pretty cool community out of your subbers & biz partners along the way…and we actually know how dorky you truly are (we sense our own)
cheers, Dude.
It would be really cool if you made a musky lure and made yourself catch a musky with it. Not a lure that is a musky but a lure for musky. Even if its just pre made parts that you custom paint would still be pretty cool imo.
The gnarliest thing about this is I remember like 90% of these 😂 no way it was 4 years
Humming bird lure you could get very creative with the colors
