Hey! Uh I'm 12 and I'm just making a lure cuz I thought it would be fun and I'm just making it from a popsicle stick but this looks easy so I'm going to try my way then yours 😃
Sounds awesome man. Keep experimenting and I’m sure you come up with some great lures!
Same bro and hello from ireland i personaly love carving and making lures is my favourite thing to carve. Im not great but I'll improve
Im 10 year old made lure from clay 😅
Nothing wrong with that!
I could watch you make these all day, there's something therapeutically pleasing which could be due to the Birds chirping in the background : )
I appreciate that.
*It's great caught caught a brown trout on the first cast. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend if it was a little smaller it would be more effective for different species*
always amazing to watch you work my friend, you are not just a lure maker you are a true artist. you inspire me man. thankyou
I appreciate that bro 👍🏼
Love the use of holographic glitters!
Wow .... I'm so glad I found this channel bro keep up the good work 👏 your freaking awesome... I would love to try some of your lures they seam to be top of the line... thank you again for your content
Nice one 👍 very cool looking minnow 😌 I also like the rotisserie mounts 👌
Tried this, works! Keep it up man
Man that’s such a beautiful lure! Pure craftsmanship with a really obvious love for the hobby!
Thank you
never complaining about the price on a lure. Amazing work.
Nice equipments.
Great job ! Congatulations !
Thank you!!!
Beautiful!
Thank you
im gonna go out on a limb, and say you are a tattooer as well. not by your hand tattoos but the terms " free hand and eye ball". as a fellow ink slinger (retired now) :) great video my friend
lol I’m retired as well. Didn’t know it was so obvious lol thank you.
First video I've seen from you, great job! That looks pretty good for a beginner! Lol The painting is Epic!💯💯
Super dope man
Great Craftsmanship!!!
Thank you
Good video! Thanks for posting... subbed
I enjoyed your video, even the sped up bird sounds. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, i have an idea where to start!
Thank you. Glad to help out 👍🏼
I didn't even recognise that they were sped up, I did have to pause the video once to hear if the sound was coming from birds on my chimney pot 😆
Lol I’ve done the same thing before I’m watching other people’s videos
@@TreysArt 😆🤣
Wow nice
looks good man
Thank you 🙏
Subscribed! 😮
Awesome video! Tie a loop knot to the lure so we can see a bit more of the action in the next video please! Let me know!
AWESOME! Well done! Yours is the first video that I've watched about making a lure. It all seemed pretty doable until the paint spraying.
I’m probably going to be making another one where I just hand paint the whole thing to show what can be done without an airbrush.
Airbrushing is for us, for fishes if U paint it with a brush, it is more then enough. I have done lures till now this way. Recently got Revell's airbrush but don't have time to practice for now and to finish some lures to prepare them for painting.
That lure would get smashed here in Hawaii!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 love the Channel!!
If I could I’d come there and fish it for sure!
Que lindo señuelo👍👍👍❤️🎉🎉🎉
Great, awesome :))
Nice looking lure. In your description when I click at the Airbrush Paint I get the link for the compressor. Can you post the right link for your colors?Thx.
Dang sorry about that. I’ll have to fix it when I get to my computer. The colors are called wicked by createx
Will be nice to see how this swims with a squarebill. Some 4-5" floating stickbaits or poppers will be a treat 😉. Keep up the great work! You ship to NZ?
Sorry man I’m not making any baits for sale at the moment. If I make anymore available I will do international shipping.
Man I must say! You, Marlin baits, Engineer Angling have brought the beast in me! Reason why I say this is because I've been wanting to make hard baits for quite sometime now. You guys inspired me so much I said screw it and broke out of my shell. Now I'm doing it to. I have a channel also it's called Midwest Skarfish. I've only made 2 videos of me making crankbaits. But there will be so much more! I just want to say thank you to you guys for the inspiration!!!
I'm subscribed to you guys channel. You better believe it! 😆 🤣 😂
That’s awesome man glad to hear it!
Solar baits and handmaid fishing as well also Zimmtex
Wow, I just found your link to all the items you use lol. 1/8” lexan it is.
Still love watching you bro. 🎣🎣🎣🎣🎣
🤘🏼
I don’t have a band saw but I do have a jigsaw. Which I guess could work
I’m sure you could probably make that work if your careful but if you can get ahold to a bandsaw, that’s definitely the way to go.
Good Job, nice action! What wood did you used?
Poplar
cna you tell us where you picked up the wire bending tools? And the Guage and source of the wire?
The wire pliers came from Walmart and I ordered the wire on eBay. I’ve also got a link to some wire in the description of this video. The diameter is .40 I believe
What is the material you use to make the scales when air brushing and where do you get it.
I can’t remember what exactly I used in this video. It was probably window screen which you can get from pretty much anywhere.
good evening senior greetings from Indonesia, Aru Islands, Maluku province on the Indonesian border with Australia
thank you senior
What wire are you using? I'm struggling to find the right wire . I've used all sorts so far but can't get it twisted right. I've seen a mild steel mig welding wire on a spool. Would that be suitable?
I haven’t tried the mig wire myself so I’m not sure about that. The wire I use is solid strand stainless steel picture frame type wire I got from True Value. The other wire I use comes pre cut and is .041 stainless steel I get from a guy on eBay. Also a lot of people use the wire you can get from harbor freight that comes in a blue cylinder. Can’t remember what it’s called. The best stuff I’ve found for twisting is the stuff I get from true value though.
19 gauge galva steel is good
Good job.what kind of wood did you use?your lures are very nice e they have a good movement!
I mostly use poplar
@@TreysArt particular...i usualy use wood balsa or samba,they are wood lighter than poplar !!thanks
Are the hook and head wires attached through the bore holes or are they glued into the hole individually? Just wondering what a 15 pound pike needs so the lure doesn’t rip apart.
Gluing in Screw eyes or twist wire for the line-tie and hook hangs would probably be fine but if you want to be sure I’d go with a solid 1 piece wiring harness (thru-wire). It would be a sad day losing a 15lb pike due to a wire failure.
Also I’d make sure your ( drag game ) is on point 👍🏼
Looks fantastic as normal! Did you thin your BSI? Looked thinner than normal. I use Everclear to thin mine and makes the working time longer. Nice job!
Thank you 😊. No I don’t thin it. I use a heat gun and it makes it more runny. If it starts thickening up on you just hit it with some heat and it will become more workable.
@@TreysArt Nice! Thanks for the tip! Give the Everclear a shot sometime. That way if it turns out like crap you can take a swig to drown your woes 🤣
🤣🤣 sounds good to me.
@@TreysArt Amazing
Beautiful job! What thickness of wood did you use? Thank you
If I remember correctly it was half inch
@@TreysArt Thanks a lot
Amazing video. What did you use to drill the holes for the wound wire?
I believe it was a 1/16 drill bit
Does that method hold ok for actual fishing? I’d be worried about that stripping out. Great job looks beautiful
That a question I’ve wondered myself but I’ve never had any strip out. The engineered angler has a video where he tests superglue vs epoxy for hook hangers. He put a scale on them to see how much force it took to break them. Surprisingly it took quite a bit. If I knew I was going to large roomy fish I’d go with a solid wiring harness though.
Is the super glue really strong enough to hold a fish? Like would you use it if you're targeting big fish?
You could definitely catch big fish on it. A solid one piece wire harness would be more robust, but the screw eyes with superglue are excellent as well. I’ve never had one fail. A lot of it has to do with your drag when your fighting a big fish. 9 times out of 10 your hooks are going to bend before the screw eyes fail and if that’s the case you need to give the fish a little more drag anyway.
What would you recommend, if you were building a shopping list, to set up shop...what would be the first tools youd buy? Ive made 2 lures, a minnow and a topwater plug but im just hand carving now. Id love to hear what you think. Great work btw.
I pretty much have a knife, some sandpaper and a small drill bit for the hardware. And that's all.
I would say a cheap bandsaw and disc sander. Those 2 things make a world of difference
Thank you so much! Fish on! 🤙
Awesome backtrack; birds MUST be royalty free, right?
For the most part lol
Is there a term for the metal ring at 10:09? can I get premades?
Screw eyes or hook hangers. I know they make them but I’ve never bought any. I would look for stainless steel if you buy any.
What do you use for the tow point and hook point?
1mm stainless steel wire
What do you use for the thing were you put the hook
I think you’re talking about the hook hangers. It is stainless steel wire. You can also use screw eyes
Can you please tell me abiut the bsi epoxy?I asked a shop here and they told me after drying it has a yellowish tint.What have you seen?Is in clear or yellow?
I haven’t noticed any yellowing but over time there’s a chance it could begin to yellow. But like I said I haven’t noticed. You can also use devcon 2 ton. That’s what I’ve been using lately.
Nice work .. you should let the original sound from the shop in all your videos.
Can you make a list of all items ( tools & , accessories & links) you use to make these lures. I want to start a hobby, thought maybe I'd give this a try. Thank you in advance
Off the top of my head the biggest investments would probably be your airbrush, compressor and paint Bandsaw and belt/disc sander. Other than that you’ll need a good carving knife ( box cutter works great ) stainless steel wire around .40mm, wire snips, sandpaper, wood sealer ( most of the time I use superglue ) I would have to sit down and make a whole list lol but advice I could give is to watch my vids. I usually meeting everything I use.
Hey there. I’ve been a subscriber for about 2 years now and love seeing you build.
Question, what is the thickness of lexan do you use? 1/8”, 1/16”? Just trying to see what works best in your opinion.
Keep up the great work man!
Your North of the border watcher…. 🎣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦
I appreciate you being a long time sub that’s awesome 😎 and I only ever use the 1/8 lexan just because that’s all I have. There’s been a lot of situations where I would prefer something thinner but idk how well the 1/16 lexan would hold up. One thing a lot of people use is pcb board or bread board. But I’m not sure of the best place to order that. Hope this helps.
Does anyone know a good replacement for the saw he used to cut out the lure shape
That’s a good question. Besides using a bandsaw the only other thing I could think would be to use a hand saw to cut off excess wood then use a knife to fine tune the shape.
What type of wire do you use ? And where can I buy some ?
Most of the time I use .41 diameter stainless steel that I buy in precut pieces on eBay. Also I use stainless picture frame wire from the hardware store. Really just whatever I can find as long as it’s stainless.
Love this one watched again and again but Never understand what make it swim lik a Real fish isnt symitric ?
Hmm that would require a complicated answer and to be honest I just do a lot of testing in order to get the action the way I want it. To make it swim like a fish you have to account for the weight, buoyancy, shape, line tie placement and lip size, shape and angle. I know this doesn’t quite answer your question but that’s why I do a lot of testing when I’m making a new lure.
U r awesome...❤ What's the name and size of the bit u used in this vedio
If I remember correctly it was a 1/4 inch forstner bit.
Thank you man
Why baking soda in the glue? Does it make the glue dry faster?
When you add superglue to baking soda it cures almost instantly and is hard and able to be carves or sanded.
what if i don’t have all the power tools? what should i use until i have enough to afford everything?
That’s a good question. I should probably make a video on that. Honestly you will have to get kind of creative. When I first started out I didn’t have all the tools I have now. Just get a knife you can carve ( a utility knife works really well ) and just start carving on a smaller piece of wood. Or even a stick. You’d be surprised how much you’ll learn by just doing that.
try to seal a lure with super glue before drilling - especially eyes. Then wood doesn't chip out on the edges.
Damn. I'll probably just keep buying them.
lol yeah it’s more of a labor of love.
Fair play sir. Can you imagine snag first cast 😂
I Absolutely can lol
what type of wire were you using
Stainless. I believe it was .41mm
Bom dia
Qual a madeira que vc usa?
This lure I used poplar
Is it ok if the wood gets dents easy
That prob just means that it’s a soft wood which means it will be very buoyant. That will work good unless the wood is rotten. Just make sure once you get it carved to the final shape that you seal the wood pretty well.
What metal wire do you use?
About 1mm stainless steal
I have a link to it in the video description
What can i use instead of this saw? 0:27
That’s a good question but I’m not sure I have the best answer lol. A band saw is probably one of the more useful tools to have when making wooden baits but you could always use a hand saw to trim off excess material and then use a knife to carve it down to shape. That’s basically how I started but eventually I was able to purchase my bandsaw and it made a world of difference. Good luck man and be careful with all that carving, cuts are inevitable!
@@TreysArt i model alot and i cut myself so many times so it it shouldnt be a problem anyway thank you
Will it catch a spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias)
Idk what a spiny dogfish is but yes, yes it will catch one.
What plier name ?
What is something I can seal the wood with
I normally use superglue because it dries pretty much instantly but the better option would prob be polyurethane or some kind of commercial wood sealer.
@@TreysArt thx dude so much
@@TreysArt is it the clear satin polyurethane
I’m sure that would work good.
snag on first cast
Happens more often than it should.
Why baking soda ?
For some reason the baking soda hardens up very solid and is easy to sand. And it hardens almost instantly if your using a thin super glue. The may be better stuff out there for filler but nothing as quick and easy as a little superglue and baking soda.
@@TreysArt
I am very grateful for the answer. I have one more question. From my experience, lures that flutter while sinking, they emit flashes of light and tend to attract more fish. Do you know how to achieve that with a wooden lure.?
Honestly I haven’t tried tackling a lure like that. If I were to guess I would say it has a lot to do with the shape “profile” of the lure.
Definition of beginners 😂
Wow good job how much $$$$$$$$
I have a few left on my Etsy shop for 35 dollars
ที่ใช้เคลือบเงา
fear for your fingers mate great skills tho
Yeah I’ve definitely been cut a few times lol
Do not use a band saw like this you'll loose your fingers use the sander to shape only use the band saw for ruff cuts
Yeah I tend to get in there with it lol
Ok mom 😂
if i lost it ill be sad
Agreed 😢
much harder when doing by hand
You make your own lure for saving but you got to buy all the machinery right?.Coz i don't think you are better than Rapala..
Well thank you that was kind of you. 🙄 I don’t think many people make better baits than Rapala and I definitely don’t make them to save money.
Not sure this is for beginners 😂
You got this bro just got to start.
I've had other BPM baits ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 before and they've pretty much always came through for me with the suskie smallies here and even with the walleye and pike, but I realized I didn't have an "in-between" pattern so this junebug one fills that role in no problem. it pairs up magnificently with a junebug Zoom Z-craw Jr that was trimmed a couple millimeters before the hook slots and rigged sideways for that fatter panfish side profile while still being a nice'n'compact presentation, a real power-finesse bait. Hell, it was so pretty I even bothered to fotosketch the pic into a watercolor painting image just to show you it's beauty! Even the blades are really well made, sure, they're not of Hildebrandt-level exquisiteness but look at the bead's reflection on the colorado blade, definitely well-made! The only "problem" spot it had was a bald spot in the skirt but it was nothing that I couldn't easily fix with a but of tuggin'n'shiftin' with the strands for a couple of seconds, besides that it is pretty minty!
Beginners doesn't even have the machine tools..
That’s a good point. Maybe I should make a video with the tools that may be available to beginners.
