Dude! I just started watching and learning how to do this today, and glad I found your upload to keep it nice and simple. I knew it was the shirt that told me to check out how he makes them! 🤘👊🤘
Nice baits just keep getting cleaner and cleaner…. Tip- get yourself a LENOX Gold utility knife, it’s been working great for me in my adventure in lure making. Keep it up and FISH ON !!
I use my 12 inch bandsaw to cut the 45's and the lip and tail cutouts.I use a Foredom to round it out.I have 5 handpieces for the Foredom and hot damn does it put in the work.Take care.SW Pennsylvania river monster hunter lol.
Good looking baits bud ! One small thing that could help is find the center of the wood (back and belly ) and mark a line from head to tail ! That will help keeping everything center
Just subbed! From what you explained in the intro, you have came a long ways! Keep up the great work! This is some tricky stuff making swimbaits, I've tried a few times and gave up on it lol
Winter can do that it's hard leaving the fire side 😂 we don't use jointed swim bates much in Ireland but I think that could work to my advantage its just a matter of getting off my arse😂
Can you help me? for some reason I'm not picking up the gist of connecting the joints. How do I do the part where it makes it jointed as in the hardware.
Hey 👋 good video ! I wanna do my first one in near future! I only have one problem 😂 I don’t realize how to put the 2 parts together ( how the jointed connection works ) but good video !
Hell its not hard bud. I’ve been locked out of my UA-cam account for a few months now. Maybe I should do another jointed bait with a better explanation
Thanks!! On this I used your normal 2 part epoxy.. not the 5 minute... I recently purchased alumilites alumi uv. I'm still experimenting with it.. the curing process is very sensitive to low temperatures. But I'm having alot of luck after contacting the manufacturer and asking for advice.
Im trying to make my first one right now. Had the body lookin good but sraight butchered the gills. They seem to be a pain in the ass lol. Keep it up. Yours looked good.
Scott McCrary thanks brotha! Gills can get aggravating at first. I have a few things that have helped me. Grab a scrap board and practice your gills a few times before transferring it over to the bait. Don’t carve deep. And remember the gills are a layer on top of the body. So be sure to sand the body down behind the gills for the depth. Make a stencil so both sides are symmetrical. Repetition is key
You can make soft vice grips with some HDPE.Use milk jugs or folgers red coffee cans etc. The cans will be marked on the plastic.Look for HDPE and cut it into pieces,make a brick in an old pan. Cut pieces on the band saw and use on your vice. Works great.
Walker Baits ahh. I was just curious on how that swimbait turned out. I make wooden baits myself. I recently done a couple 4 piece swimbaits. I hand paint though i dont have experience with an airbrush. I would just like to see more videos. And if you are selling any.

Nice looking bate there I know myself a lot of work goes into the finished piece, hats off to ye.
David Devine thank you! I should be dropping some new videos soon. Winter has slowed me down

😂😂😂 show them something they’ve never seen👊🏻
Really makes me want to try for sure
Good stuff man!!🤙
Nice video mate keep it up and i think you should make a top water walking bait good luck
Great job, keep it up. I just started a few weeks ago.
Good work, I think that a rounder body shape would make it swim better and look aesthetically more pleasant. Keep the good work!
Looks good Walker!
Nice job man. Id love to see a swim vid of how it turned out.
I'll definently try to start taking them out
Just subbed I also have a channel and love to make baits
Can you help me? for some reason I'm not picking up the gist of connecting the joints. How do I do the part where it makes it jointed as in the hardware.
Nice job well done
nice job, keep up the good work
Nice work

Walker Baits would be nice 😊🤟🏽
What type of wood are you using? Great video!
Where do you get the plastic lips from and what are they called if looking on Amazon for them
"Acrylic glass"
Take it to the water and test it.
Nice
how thick of a piece of poplar do you recommend for one of these and length?
Always cut your lip slot wile the bait is square
My last name is Walker and currently trying my hand at making baits
nice video...wondering what top coat your'e using....thanks...michel
Thanks!!

You scared me at 7:24 by pulling that blade toward your thumb...
just curious - even though they were cut backwards, did they still work?
Technically yes.. but the action is so much better when the joint catches water properly.
the joint wasnt cut backwards
Carson Kent the first 3 he made were.

@@walkerbaits3242 right on man, appreciate the tip!
how do you combine the superglue and baking soda?
Indexfossil L fill the holes with making soda, then add some glue. Hardens instantly. Use a file and sandpaper to smooth everything out
BROTHER why make a video about making a swimbait WITHOUT SHOWING HOW IT CATCHES FISH or atleast show how it swims trough the water
what do you use to fill the holes in the body?
Indexfossil L super glue and baking soda

Why stopped
Perfecta muestra 🙏🙏
Where do you find the stencil?
If your asking about the lure stencil, I draw them out myself
hell yeah
How's The Action On That Swimbait.
Eddie Etheridge to my embarrassment....I haven’t fished in months lol
@@walkerbaits3242 I've Been Looking For A Big Rattle Trap/Vibe Bait Bigger Than 124mm,I'll Probably Make One.
Do you still make baits?
