Great video as normal. I would love to see an underwater view of your lures in the test tank if you can rig that up. Keep up the great work! Cheers, and tight lines.
Okay now we need a mini version for the sunfish and bluegill! Out of every bait you’ve made I really think this is my favorite. Been watching for 4 years now. Thanks for the awesome videos.
This reminds me of old lures out of my grandfathers tackle box! They sure don't make them like they used to but charge way more for their plastic junk.
If you’re making a walking bait, I would consider the Blue Dragon Sea Slug. They are beautiful little creatures. And you could even make the back appendages injected so that they wouldn’t get in the way
I will say again, the best videos are the ones where the bait is a new idea so no one knows if the action will be good or bad. However when the action is good, it just makes the video even better!!
I would say this is an extremely official bait on the grounds that not only were there a lot of fish, caught along with a lot of hits, but this is I believe one of your first baits to ever have multiple strikes on single casts. There were several times in the video where you would cast reel in and the beat would be hit 3 to 4times before it was fully reeled back in for the next cast. Awesome bait
Need to make a Chip lure, weedless crank bait with a hidden spring loaded hook, or a “ferry wheel” style splashing top water lure bro! Keep up the good work you’re crushing it.
I'm pretty sure I've watched all of your videos, possibly more than once and I love all your work, but I think for some reason...this is my favorite bait you've made so far. Even with the hook up ratio, the amount of times the fish were willing to stick with the bait and keep swiping at it was impressive! Fine job my friend!
A common mistake with top water baits is setting the hook when you see the water explode around your bait, I was always told to wait until you feel the fish at that works much better than setting the hook prematurely . The other reason not to do that is setting the hook and have the bait come flying back right at you often resulting in a treble hook hooking you . Great video great bait.
Jointed.. soft plastic swim bait. Have an inner skeleton for line ties, hooks, joints, etc. Maybe some type of screw lock weight system to adjust the fall. That's be pretty epic.
Hey, Nate, I've noticed as you have, that the fish are striking the front of the bait, where the wings are going to interfere with the fish's ability to quickly grab onto the bait, I think it would help if there was a slightly larger hook, or a hook with a longer shank, to allow the fish to get the hook farther down its gullet. I think that would increase your hookup ratio.
The voiceover carving was very cool, you should do more. As far as the bait, amazing the action it produced, you defined it well with your comparison to a freestyle swimmer. Coffee was hot, the weather was beautiful and another fun video from MarlinBaits, thx for sharing. Loads of luv from Texas!!!❤️❤️❤️
I'd love to see you go for some giant pike with that bait. Another great video, Nate! Cheers! (I still think it would be cool to see you make a scuba diver bait, just for ships and giggles LOL)
The Ole crazy crawler brings back memories. Definitely seems to weed out small fish. Always had the same problem with hookups but caught some of my PBs right at dusk with crawler baits
I have a bunch of hand me down tackle boxes from over the years and inside of a few of them are some old crazy crawlers. Those are the only 'winged' lures I have ever seen.
I enjoy watching your vids and try to watch them as they come out. As a fan of yours I've got some ideas for you. We have some interesting bait fish here in Oklahoma. The banded darter, leopard darter, and the cardinal shiner. Thier colors are bright and vibrant. Anyways love your vids like I said earlier.
Oh man that was awesome to see the great crawling action! I did a realistic bluegill crawler build on my channel with a less-than-ideal action, so it's great to see a perfect build!
Awesome video, Voice over was great, would actually like to see more of that,specially with some of the materials you're using, and to actually see you catching fish!!!
The voice over in the beginning definitely has some home movie vibes. Like when that crazy aunt comes back from abroad and forced you sit down and watch he videos while she tells ya everything. (Think early 80's)
Wow, that's a fascinating suggestion for a walking bait! The Blue Dragon Sea Slug is indeed a beautiful creature, and incorporating its characteristics into a lure design could create something truly unique. Injecting the back appendages to prevent interference is a clever idea. I'm curious to see how it would perform in action. Keep pushing the boundaries of lure innovation! 🐉🎣🔥
Great lure, I hope you make more crawlers, one of my favorite styles of topwater. If you could still get it to float, perhaps slightly bigger hooks would improve the catch rate.
That’s a sick lure. Please send it over to Europe and I’ll serve it to a hungry Northern in 120 fps on a 400mm zoom lens 💥 Oh, and underwater footage is included 🙌🏼
Would love to have you come fish the rivers up here in Saskatchewan, Nate! I spent all of yesterday afternoon catching pike back to back. You'd love it!
I’d love to see a video showing the planning and preparation proccess. All we normally see is you starting out with the bandsaw or something already drawn up. How do u come up with the ideas? And then prepare to execute.
Using the dry pigment is such a pain with createx clear mediums for some reason, I switched to solvent based interface pearls however gotta swing the garage door open when spraying lol I know colorshift paints usually call for a black or silver base but I’ve actually used them to highlight white areas on certain jigs and the result is amazing! Definitely works well for highlighting eye spots when making squids
I love the voiceover while carving. It’s cool to hear your thought process. “Sanding sanding sanding…. Sanding sanding sandiiing”
Voice over > music montage
I've enjoyed the music recently, but the voice over was fun, especially the surprise with how you did the eyes, haha. Great video!
Haven't seen a crawler since the giant wasp lure. Absolute masterpiece! Do a pike fishing video with it.
Great idea!
Great video as normal. I would love to see an underwater view of your lures in the test tank if you can rig that up. Keep up the great work! Cheers, and tight lines.
My wife and I watch all your videos together.
You’re an artist turned mechanical engineer. That is a thing of BEAUTY!
Okay now we need a mini version for the sunfish and bluegill! Out of every bait you’ve made I really think this is my favorite. Been watching for 4 years now. Thanks for the awesome videos.
This reminds me of old lures out of my grandfathers tackle box!
They sure don't make them like they used to but charge way more for their plastic junk.
They are better today. Everyone works as it should since they're all identical.
If you’re making a walking bait, I would consider the Blue Dragon Sea Slug. They are beautiful little creatures. And you could even make the back appendages injected so that they wouldn’t get in the way
That would be awesome
I think this might be my favorite of the lures you've made so far. Excellent topwater
I will say again, the best videos are the ones where the bait is a new idea so no one knows if the action will be good or bad. However when the action is good, it just makes the video even better!!
Some people might find the silent builds more relaxing, but the voice-over entertains my smooth, gen-z mind. I really enjoyed it!
It would be interesting to compare watch time to a similar video without a voiceover.
The fact they kept coming back was great, awesome lure
I love the voiceover of you carving out the bait, it shows just what you think is happening, tight lines!
I would say this is an extremely official bait on the grounds that not only were there a lot of fish, caught along with a lot of hits, but this is I believe one of your first baits to ever have multiple strikes on single casts. There were several times in the video where you would cast reel in and the beat would be hit 3 to 4times before it was fully reeled back in for the next cast. Awesome bait
just absolutely stunning craftsman ship like always, this might be in the top 5 favorite baits from you
This might be the best bait you've ever made. Beautiful and amazing action. Congratulations
Awrsome!!
And you got to take it home.
It's a good day woke up right to a new marling baits video days is off to great start 👍
Chip!!!! Best beginnings ever! Also ASMR now stands for Awesomely Satisfying Material Removal! 😁 2:08
Need to make a Chip lure, weedless crank bait with a hidden spring loaded hook, or a “ferry wheel” style splashing top water lure bro! Keep up the good work you’re crushing it.
love voice over, do it as often as you feel like it!
If there is a "chip clip" every video I would be so happy
The most badass piece youve ever made in my opinion!! It is absolutely beautiful and the action is off the charts!! Your such boss! #Legend!!!!
The narration is great, makes stuff easy to follow
I like the voiceover. thanks for walking us through it, its always interesting.
These videos literally ground me. Thank you for being awesome ❤️💚
I think that is the best topwater crawler motion I've ever seen.
Any day with a new Marling baits video is going to be a good day. Keep up the good work!
Greetings from the Northland! Today I will start my quest for top water jointed crawler. Great videos as always.
Just got into bed after a long day, nothing better than seeing a Marling baits upload to unwind to !
That's such a great bait! I wouldn't mind seeing a flying fish or bat lure with the same crawler blades!
As always you and your humor is freaking great!🙌 Great voice over narration!🤣
The voiceover is more than welcomed……your doing great…….the bob ross of bait making I call you, it’s like asmr when your painting your baits😅
Another beautiful paint job combined with successful performance. Great job!
I'm pretty sure I've watched all of your videos, possibly more than once and I love all your work, but I think for some reason...this is my favorite bait you've made so far. Even with the hook up ratio, the amount of times the fish were willing to stick with the bait and keep swiping at it was impressive! Fine job my friend!
Thoroughly enjoyed the crawler bait. Way to stick with it. I'd rather get a hit and miss than get no hit at all. Keep up the good work.
A common mistake with top water baits is setting the hook when you see the water explode around your bait, I was always told to wait until you feel the fish at that works much better than setting the hook prematurely . The other reason not to do that is setting the hook and have the bait come flying back right at you often resulting in a treble hook hooking you . Great video great bait.
This was one of your better ones. Thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed the voiceover combo.
Jointed.. soft plastic swim bait. Have an inner skeleton for line ties, hooks, joints, etc. Maybe some type of screw lock weight system to adjust the fall. That's be pretty epic.
One of the best you’ve done. I’d really enjoy fishing that
Hey, Nate, I've noticed as you have, that the fish are striking the front of the bait, where the wings are going to interfere with the fish's ability to quickly grab onto the bait, I think it would help if there was a slightly larger hook, or a hook with a longer shank, to allow the fish to get the hook farther down its gullet. I think that would increase your hookup ratio.
Heddon torpedoes use a longer shank trebble hook too. I have similar poor hookups with them.
been awhile since you done a top water bait.nothing beats top water lure takes
Probably my favorite lure youv ever made you killed it brotha🎣👏🏻
“Being all soft with their lips” add that one to the mug! Haha. Love your stuff Nate! Awesome bait and awesome catches like always
The voiceover carving was very cool, you should do more. As far as the bait, amazing the action it produced, you defined it well with your comparison to a freestyle swimmer. Coffee was hot, the weather was beautiful and another fun video from MarlinBaits, thx for sharing. Loads of luv from Texas!!!❤️❤️❤️
Wow that paint job was a wild ride, I never had any idea what was going on or coming next
I need that crawler! My favorite lure to throw most of the year here in texas. I’ll take one! Thanks for the great content!
You never cease to amaze me 🔥
Love the content. And you're a friendly and entertaining fella to boot. Love entrepreneural spirit.
I'd love to see you go for some giant pike with that bait.
Another great video, Nate!
Cheers!
(I still think it would be cool to see you make a scuba diver bait, just for ships and giggles LOL)
The Ole crazy crawler brings back memories. Definitely seems to weed out small fish. Always had the same problem with hookups but caught some of my PBs right at dusk with crawler baits
Socks in the shop is wild. Love it.
I have never seen a bait with wings before. Reminds me of the flying fish that would occasionally fly next to our dugout canoe on the Pacific.
I have a bunch of hand me down tackle boxes from over the years and inside of a few of them are some old crazy crawlers. Those are the only 'winged' lures I have ever seen.
I enjoy watching your vids and try to watch them as they come out. As a fan of yours I've got some ideas for you. We have some interesting bait fish here in Oklahoma. The banded darter, leopard darter, and the cardinal shiner. Thier colors are bright and vibrant. Anyways love your vids like I said earlier.
Around what area in Oklahoma? Fellow okie here
Love the voice over!!!! More time for fishing!!!!😊
This is my favorite!❤ awsome job!
Nice looking bait, Thanks for sharing Nate
Crawlers are a very productive bait I've had the same pompadour ried on for 3 years now.
Oh man that was awesome to see the great crawling action! I did a realistic bluegill crawler build on my channel with a less-than-ideal action, so it's great to see a perfect build!
Awesome video,

Call it the Olympic Crawler and you should do that paint scheme more often. It looks really good.
I love the action on it!😄
Jackall called... They want their Pompadour back! 😁 Seriously though, nice bait! Solid work. I love the bait that was the inspiration.
dang! thats next level baitmaking!
That bait is sick!
Another perfectly executed bait.. very cool 👍
Would Love to see a video at the end of the year showcasing your favorite baits that you've made in the past year or of all time!
Great lure, I hope you make more crawlers, one of my favorite styles of topwater. If you could still get it to float, perhaps slightly bigger hooks would improve the catch rate.
Great video and awesome bait; you never fail to deliver enjoyable content.
How refreshing..!! Good stuff!! 🤘🎣
Great idea the voiceover, probably helps the focus while making the bait too... And the funkyness of the bait..? Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. 👌
That is one gorgeous Looking bait. Been following for a while, this is one of my top favorites! I really like the looks of this bait. Gg!
That’s a sick lure. Please send it over to Europe and I’ll serve it to a hungry Northern in 120 fps on a 400mm zoom lens 💥 Oh, and underwater footage is included 🙌🏼
I like the videos before I watch them. Cause I know they gonna be good 👍
That's a really quick reel, I always have to remind myself to slow down with those.
Would love to have you come fish the rivers up here in Saskatchewan, Nate! I spent all of yesterday afternoon catching pike back to back. You'd love it!
The hand is quicker than the eye , feel the fish set the hook ,,, Good video
You’ve got the hands of a surgeon.
Looks like a super dope lure!
today i am sick but this video made me feel happy
I definitely liked the voiceover. It was a bit robotic for a second but it got better quickly. Chip can do no wrong let him slurp away lol.
2 supergluebaknsoda! Love it. Awesome bait per the usual! Love your work man its amazing.
Awesome bait! If the hook up is hard, try adding an extra splitring on the hooks. That's what we do when fishing with paddle hybrid baits in sweden!
One of your best
Всегда интересные и очень детализированные приманки, молодец!
I'm still looking forward to a bat modeled after a rainbow shiner, I think you would have a lot of fun painting it.
Thanks for letting me have another video to watch and it's very interesting...
lwata 😮 what LoL
I'm loving the top water! Next how's about a metallic whopper plopper with a soft plastic curly tail?!?!?
I’d love to see a video showing the planning and preparation proccess. All we normally see is you starting out with the bandsaw or something already drawn up. How do u come up with the ideas? And then prepare to execute.
Man I just want to start making lures now lol I love fishing but making them makes more fun and challenging love the work Marling Bait
That is a very sexy paint scheme!
Big fan of the voiceover
I love the voice over
The old "jitterbug". Memories of the 50s-60s and my Dad introducing me to "casting" and, picking out bird's nest.
😳🙂
Another spectacular bait!!💯
I’d like to see you make the state fish for every state. That would be pretty cool!
Using the dry pigment is such a pain with createx clear mediums for some reason, I switched to solvent based interface pearls however gotta swing the garage door open when spraying lol I know colorshift paints usually call for a black or silver base but I’ve actually used them to highlight white areas on certain jigs and the result is amazing! Definitely works well for highlighting eye spots when making squids
I like the voice over also I've found that when I release a fish I say "BE FREE". THAT I DO WITHOUT THINKING!
