Your videos taught me the basics of musky lure building Its nice to see a new video. I always have to ballast my baits to get them to run correctly Were you able to get that action without any ballasting?
Wow, those are loud rattles. The copper pipe is an excellent idea. I have ideas for my own muskie lures to build, but I don't have the tools and can't afford to buy them. But you inspire me anyhow. Can I ask you to paint a lure in a natural whitefish/cisco/tullibee pattern, mostly white with silver pearl flash? Here in Minnesota and N.W. Ontario, these are a primary forage species. They spawn in the fall, and I think trolling one of your crankbaits would be a great way to put a giant in the net.
An idea, make a jointed version and put a second smaller rattle chamber in the tail. This would give the lure two different rattle sounds, plus the joint noise.
@rockthemarshall i never thin epoxy. You lose all of its strength when you thin it. I only use West Systems to fill through-wire channels and its a fairly low viscosity epoxy. Much thinner than ClearCast which I use for topcoat
@striperhunter-ic2wt both of the meshes i used i just googled "mesh netting" and bought a yard from different places. I've bought so many i couldnt tell you which specific retailer these were from. One of my most common meshes i use is lingerie mesh laundry bags from Walmart
I figured I could use a 9mm and 10mm cases, and if 9 can fit in 10, just put a steel ball inside and push them together, tho I'd imagine 10mm is a little pricy and they can be hard to find. Also not quite sure what kind of sound steel ball would make hitting brass...
When Fretthold uploads, you drop whatever the F you're doing😂 love the video buddy! Those baits look soooo sick!

Enjoyed the builds. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Don't be a stranger...
Spectacular, Mike! Thanks!
Wow, fantastic
Beautiful work! Keep em coming!
Ya know if your fishing for great whites the lures should look like seals lol! Those baits are huge!
@@quadpop4643 muskys like big baits
Great new video! Your lures look awesome!
Freaking awesome buddy!!
Very nice work. I do it too, I get good ideas from you.
Amazing work nice to see more of your art !! I was wondering how many coat of resin you put on them :)?
@jhosekai thank you. 2 coats before paint and only two topcoats. It's not uncommon for people to use 5+ coats but I don't really like thick epoxy.
please tell me the name of the resin you are using

Do you thin your epoxy? Or is West Systems just naturally that thin? Great work as always!

@ thank you for that knowledge. For topcoat do you mean Alumilite, or 7050?
Beautiful
Wow awesome
Beautiful looking lures, would you say where the scales came from?

Nice work 🔥 pine?
Western red cedar
Could you use shit 44 mag cases or something to save some time? I really love that silver perch and the gold pattern
@TheClayCoKid yeah that's a good idea. Probably a lot lighter than copper pipe
