Wow Franco, that WAS a tough build. But you got through it quite well. Congrats! I hope it catches fish as good as it looks. Also, I'm glad you got through both storms with minimal loss.
Plenty of f**k around and find out with mold making in one video but end result looks really good, nice subtle action on a good looking lure (scale pattern was a great idea).
I thought it looked really good, a very subtle action. I know these longer videos can be a pain to make but I like these the most and always watch the whole thing
I can see you had a hard time with this one. The end result was totally worth it! I love your videos because you show just how imperfect we are and the issues we can have when lure building.
I didn't find your video this morning and found you by chance. Thanks for the upload Franko! Nice recovery from the silicone difficulties. BTW, I've never seen a two-part, open pour, injection mold before. Wow!
Check out the Core Tackle TUSH and Hover Rig hooks. They're weighted hooks that give soft plastics a different action. They can replace jig heads and other hooks.
Silicone can turn into a mess really quickly. And platinum silicone can be very finicky where it doesn't cure, especially with cured UV resin. For modeling clay (sulphur free) I like to heat it in a slow cooker and literally pour it over or set my master into it before it hardens. Hard modeling clays actually have a lower melting point than soft modeling clays. I do this when copying soft plastic baits that have a higher melting point than the clay.
My best friend from grade school graduated from Rose Hulman. We are still best friends and we are almost 40. You sir would definitely fit right in at our bon fire get togethers😂. We are always making stuff, and i get alot of info from him. Engineers are the absolute best 👌 🫡. My favorite channels on YT are Rogan of course, tactical bassin, Engineered angler, and Marling baits. 🙌
Think you should revisit this one and maybe add what you have learned from the water/fishing test and perfect it.
That was great at least I know I'm not the only one who makes mistakes, good recovery.

It was a close call! Glad you enjoyed it.
I didn't realize my wife was an Angler until I found one of these in her nightstand drawer.
It even vibrates for better action, maybe give that a try!
I hope your wife doesn't read these....

I like this one. that tail is amazing.
Glad you weathered the storm Franco.
Thank you, that tail design is a bit of a labor of love.

I try to cover all the steps in detail, thanks for watching!

It is always a learning curve and I'm glad that people can relate.
I appreciate a video where the mistakes are shown. Almost every one of my videos is riddled with mistakes and how I correct them so I applaud you!
It's important to show all the steps, even the ones that don't work out.
Good to hear you didn’t have much damage
Looks great!!

Thanks for the support! It was a bit of a nightmare to get it working right.
That’s a great looking soft plastic! Nice work.
Glad you liked it!

Great choice! I love all your videos 🫡🙌

That’s a great tip. I've never tried it with a slow cooker.
Amazing loved the action on that tail and also put a rattle in the tail woooo weeee.
It's got some great movement, thanks for watching.
In all those years i've learnt to NEVER remove the master.
That is best practice but sometimes....you bite the bullet.
well done....
Thanks!
Yep thats a winner
Great video and lure build do you build any lures for people
no not really...just a few for some friends
@@EngineeredAngler ok just asking
you need a vacation
The other moulds that you made if you cut them up into pieces you can use them as filler in your next mold
I've done that in the past...but I didn't really like the results.
Definitely gotta lubricate those holes

Love to hang around a fire and talk about building stuff or just general sh#t
