@@zacharygardner4476 I'm no expert on this topic but honestly I sat and watched a good handful of these videos and just went to making.. started with maple, simple crankbait with whatever parts and tools I had laying around. Just finished up my second, a swim bait of a Mahi Mahi. Used a scrap piece of pine on that, grain is hard to carve and get a solid finish. It has hard and soft spots so wouldn't recommend. Also have a cheap airbrush from harbor freight with works wonders.. that and an artist fiance to help ;) Need to get my hands on some bass or balsa next.
not gone lie he got me making my own baits as well. i just clea coated 5 musky baits. paint job looks like a child did it but its the action im excited for.
I Love It !!! I've been thinking this very lure and here you make it. I don't get to fish much any more. Getting old SUCKS !! My son and I used to wade the river every Saturday and I sure do miss it. You are a very talented man. God Bless and Keep the Videos Coming.
Continually impressive lure making !!!!!!!! This 1 day challenge is really amazing !!! I would count that Trout as a quick catch and release !!!!! Loving this content !!!
Something is very entertaining about watching expert craftsmanship like this on UA-cam, I’ve only ever gone fishing twice yet I still get excited when one of these come out haha
@@SslopeYT exactly what I thought. Next week i'll get my Tools mit my Workshop and start too. Oh and i want to make some knives. I love to create things.
I just came across your vids and have been bingeing on them. As a woodworker and a fisherman they are practically tailor-made for me. You do really great work on both counts!! The lures are little works of art and speak for themselves but your videos are also really well done. Your stream-of-consciousness narrative is well-paced, upbeat and interesting which is too often not the case in UA-cam videos. I think I may take a shot at making a couple myself...lures not videos, as I imagine it must be very satisfying catching fish on lures you made yourself. On the other hand, it must really suck when you lose one. Anyway, thank you for the informative entertainment and the inspiration.
I am literally binge watching all your videos in no particular order and learning so much. As an aviation student I can completely see how to manipulate a bait to move differently using lips and all that jazz.
Man, I just found your channel a few months ago and I've watched every video since. You're a cool dude who makes cool baits and I'm happy you're uploading these videos. Thanks for the content.
HAHA!! I knew it. Im supper glad yall are having a kid. Nothing like having kids and teaching them what you love to do. congratulations you 2 again. 1? 2? how many? Lots of twins latly in our family. We are cooking up number 3 in our family. Little girl. Know what yall are having yet?
So entertaining love watching you at work. Like watching a surgeon at work. Simply AMAZING. Keep them coming.. David B. Chichester West sussex. England 👍
Just discovered your channel and have been watching for 3 hours straight. Even my wife can watch you!😂 you have a new subscriber your videos are amazing.
I'm telling you bro a baby catfish, any major species around you, will work amazing I think I've made brown bullheads, yellow bullheads, channels, and blues that are 5-10" and have caught fish on all, you NEED to make one.
I'm in awe with your artistic, and woodworking skills. That could have been called a Slam with the three species that you got to attack your lure. Your the most talented lure creator I've seen.
James Leary not only that. They price everything and act like everything is a form of “art”.... its like a shoe shiner trying to charge $100 to shine your shoes because the way he does it is some art GTFO the only thing they do ok is prob porn and toyotas
Like the Whopper POPPER 😂 have you guys seen that lure? It's a video out of it,but it's only $6.00!!! And it's actually Chinese, video is called"this is not a Whopper plopper"😂
Nothing I look forward to more than getting my Marling Baits bell, keep killing it buddy, next do a Scuba Steve bait where his flippers are both independently jointed to create good plopper action!
Chelsie is such a Doll! Great tips MB, Unreal Show, an not covering them "Quickly Released," fish in Your Styrene coated hands is just You being a Fish Friendly Dude. Brilliant Stuff.
A few days ago I stumbled across your bull frog tadpole video and since then I’ve watched so many of your videos. Keep it up man! Your channel is amazing and I’ll definitely be spreading the word about your channel. Keep the content coming!
Great bait. I believe Larry Dahlberg would appreciate this. He was doing this before the internet and inspired many to to create bates. He actually has a tutorial on how to make the WP. Larry has the best 3 part how to design bait series definitely worth watching if you enjoy making lures.
I've been binge watching your videos for a few days now let's just say you got a new subscriber and I gave that bell a good old ring. My favorite video by far is the one where you show us your first few "lures" you made great to see your not ashamed of where you started and it shows us if you keep at it anything is possible. The lures you make now are mind blowing great work man! Love your videos.
I’m loving all these videos! It’s evident that you spend a lot of time making these videos and getting the perfect angle for every different shot, and of course the lures are amazing too.
I live in Arizona, and we have multiple trout species. Some natural and some stocked. Brooke’s have always been #1 on my trout bucket list. #2 is Tiger Trout for sure. Both absolutely beautiful fish! Killer bait, and video as always brother!! Looking forward to the next one!
A surreal moment? Sitting watching you make lures on Christmas day 2019 with a brass band playing outside! Forget Netflix just watch this Channel 🎣Happy Christmas
The way your logo subtly appears as you break into thinking out loud always makes me feel like its a big mystery and we're along for the ride haha I love it. Keep being awesome man!!
I've watched other lure channels, but for my liking, you are the best one. You give the most information. And make the coolest lures, tho I'm still waiting for the scuba diver.
Love the Whopper Plopper. Great job man. You should totally use short shank Mustad Triple Grip Treble hooks. They are super sticky. Wont fish a Jerk Bait, Crank Bait, Lipless or Whopper Plopper or anything that uses treble hooks without those installed. Love the vids!
You sir are an artist! I remember trying very unsuccessfully to make plugs over 45+ years ago and since I predominantly was an UL fisherman, astoundingly unsuccessfully trying to make UL lures! I think I have some inkling of how difficult it is. I remember that when the Big O came out, the handmade ones cost $100, then Cotton Cordell introduced the plastic molded 3/8 oz and 5/8 versions but I wanted a 1/8 or less style fat minnow plug. Attempts were, hideous and didn’t work. When Bagleys came out with the Honey Bee I was extremely happy. Anyway, about weighting an UL plug, I had problems with getting lead weight to stay it (this is before crazy glue of any type) I found at high cost back then tungsten wire. The benefit if I weigh out (with an old reloading scale, no highly accurate cheap electronic scales back then) sufficient tungsten wire I could drive it into the bottom of the lure. If the little lure warranted it, I could insert the weight at whatever angle it needed to ride right. I could then glue it into the lure. I could conceptualize, but not execute. I applaud your skills and abilities. As to River-to-Sea coming after you because of the Whopper Plopper, maybe because of the name, but certainly not the concept. You see, River-to-sea copied an 80+ year old design, the Mud-Puppy lure bay C.C Roberts bait company, a Wisconsin based lure company that most of their sales are local as the hand make their lures, by necessity, because their in Musky ?Country, and as necessary there lures are pretty large. The area is also river-rich so they make a smaller version which apparently is quite successful with river small-mouth and trout. Anyway, apparently River-to-Sea, basically went to China and had a lure based upon the Mud-Puppy design. Oh yeah, as it’s a big hand-made lure for musky fishing, it’s not cheap, as you might imagine. There’s another thing that might be of interest, it’s a book written by a famous writer of the 1940 through 1980’s , era Charles K. Fox, predominately fly fishing, but he’s was also a pioneer in the concept of “light lure casting” which in that era was lures less than 3/8 oz, and occasionally 1/4 oz. Before widespread the presence of spinning tackle, really not before the 1950’s lures smaller that 1/4 oz were considered “fly rod lures.” Anyway there is a book written by Fox that was published in the mid-70’s, called “the book of Lures”. While the book has its problems, it’s got pics of many lures of the day and some of them didn’t make to days age. In the text, Fox presents the idea that the industrial technology of his day would let one make lures other than was constructed by factories of the time. So, what may be the most interesting part of the book, is there is a section of the book titled “Homemade Lures” where he illustrates several of his possibly favorite lures and the steps taken to construct the lures. While the picture are just okay, the text is really good. If you would be inclined to look at the book, it’s out of print and probably not found in libraries or on-line, but can be found for sale, I think cheaply, used. I’ve found it on sale on EBay and other sites. I really look forward to seeing your work and skillful artistry.
What should I make next for catching Trout?
Gimme some Ideas!
Do a flounder, just for the halibut... LOL
Marling Baits
Burrito😁
Catalpa worm
A micro popper, or a micro soft plastic swim bait.
Marling Baits a car
Do a little trout spinner and paint it up like a brook trout
build a bait like a person swimming with moving arms that go round and round..i know you could build it...you are very talented!!!
This bait would be insane, but if anyone could do it, it’s Nate
I agree
y e s
If he added a bears and brown hair to this... he could say H E caught a fosh
It's been a full year and it still hasn't happened. Wtf.
Loving the constant uploads man! Totally got me into making my own lures, cant wait to see more
I would love to start doing my own baits. Where do you think I should start?

I think in honor of Chip and his love of strawberries we need a strawberry lure, or at least a strawberry paint scheme! Your wife is adorable BTW!
Hes always in them damn strawberries.. God I love dogs. Us humans dont deserve them honestly
Strawberry live bait bobber
This comment aged like a fine wine. R.I.P. Chip, Champion of Strawberries

I could watch chip in the garden all day! That is one great Plopper nice job!!!
Continually impressive lure making !!!!!!!!
This 1 day challenge is really amazing !!!
I would count that Trout as a quick catch and release !!!!!
Loving this content !!!
Thank you. Excellent tutorials and your sense of humor make for one of the best UA-cam experiences that I have ever had . Really, really great stuff.
Challenge make a 2-piece baby squid with soft plastic tentacles and try to catch fresh water fish with it....You are welcome ;)
Outlaw_PheNom he did this!
Jaycob Sorrells he did an octopus
Something is very entertaining about watching expert craftsmanship like this on UA-cam, I’ve only ever gone fishing twice yet I still get excited when one of these come out haha
Hey, Marling Baits! You should make a baby catfish swimbait, I found one in my grandpa's old tackle box and it's pretty neat looking honestly
Send him a pic.. Maybe he'll replicate it.. just a thought, as I'd like to see that too. Sounds cool✌
@@tamarabuxton2516 For sure. I was gonna do that it's just a matter of actually finding the tackle box. It's buried somewhere in my garage😂
I believe Gizit used to/ or still makes one
Gideon Millar please find it so he can make it! Would love to see that
Does it have a bent metal lip on the front ??
I think these one day build and catches for me has proven that you are not just a artist but a fisherman also.
Hi. I may be wrong but those hooks looked pretty big for trout . Nice bait anyway. All the best.
What makes your channel so great is that u make it look like anyone can do it
Awesome work as usual
Post more videos more often plzzzzzz
Also will you do a full video of everything with out any cuts I'm learning and figured you were the best teacher
An uncut video would take days to watch. 😅
I'm like all the important things that you need to know in order to make your own
@@SslopeYT true. There are some things i can't find out, too.
I'm trying to start this lure making because I go fishing often and I wanted to mix things up
@@SslopeYT exactly what I thought. Next week i'll get my Tools mit my Workshop and start too. Oh and i want to make some knives. I love to create things.
Who with a sane mind would dislike these video??? Thanks for all your hard work and amazing content you continue to provide!
Getting the notification for this video made my day!
I just came across your vids and have been bingeing on them. As a woodworker and a fisherman they are practically tailor-made for me. You do really great work on both counts!!

Your stream-of-consciousness narrative is well-paced, upbeat and interesting which is too often not the case in UA-cam videos.

On the other hand, it must really suck when you lose one. Anyway, thank you for the informative entertainment and the inspiration.
What ever happened with the pregnant Blue Gill lure?
@@joshr7505 okay cool, I guess I missed that video somehow. Thanks man
They arent married. They're cousins. That would be weird. They're just dating.
Chris dehning no wonder she is so weird, I honestly hate her on the channel
I was jk i like her 😂 any girl that's willing to fish is a keeper
Andrew Dollard that’s a shitty thing to say... you suck.
Every single video I think...This is it...This is the most amazing lure I have ever seen...
Then you up the ante...EVERY TIME!
Baby pike lure and try and catch a bigger pike, these 1 day builds are incredible please keep them coming
I am literally binge watching all your videos in no particular order and learning so much. As an aviation student I can completely see how to manipulate a bait to move differently using lips and all that jazz.
whopper plopper sounds like a dump you take after burger king lol
The subtle awkwardness in your editing is superb. Love the vids. Thanks for the steady stream of uploads.
Should do a collaboration with 618 fishing! He’s into tiny baits!
Heck ya
they have such similar energy too idk why
Patrick Harris that’s what I was thinking!!!!
Same idea went through my head.... one builds and the other catches and not say “So long buddy “ to the fish...
Enjoy both of those guys but watching a convo between em back and forth would be like watching paint dry lol.
Man, I just found your channel a few months ago and I've watched every video since. You're a cool dude who makes cool baits and I'm happy you're uploading these videos.
Thanks for the content.
At 7:40 you missed the perfect opportunity for “garage master bait...... maker.”
He used it in a recent video.
HAHA!! I knew it. Im supper glad yall are having a kid. Nothing like having kids and teaching them what you love to do. congratulations you 2 again. 1? 2? how many? Lots of twins latly in our family. We are cooking up number 3 in our family. Little girl. Know what yall are having yet?
“I didnt drop out but I don’t care if you do” I completely lost it 😂😂😂
So entertaining love watching you at work. Like watching a surgeon at work. Simply AMAZING. Keep them coming.. David B. Chichester West sussex. England 👍
Also, you live in Iowa, why haven't you made a cob of corn lure? :)
Just discovered your channel and have been watching for 3 hours straight. Even my wife can watch you!😂 you have a new subscriber your videos are amazing.
One day build: "From Scratch to Catch"
I transfer full ownership of this phrase to Marling Baits. Enjoy!
seriously love watching your progress and craftsmanship in your baits, very enjoyable, thanks
I'm telling you bro a baby catfish, any major species around you, will work amazing I think I've made brown bullheads, yellow bullheads, channels, and blues that are 5-10" and have caught fish on all, you NEED to make one.
Thank you for making the whopper plopper, I love that bait. Great job
At 7:04 What she sees lol
no heart for you poor fella xd
I have learned how to start making lures thanks to all of your videos
Can you make a praying mantis bait
These one day build videos are awesome truly amazed by your talent. Cannot say enough about your videos there all amazing. Inspirational...
Roman Made-Those Japanese folks get easily offended I’m guessing😮
I'm in awe with your artistic, and woodworking skills. That could have been called a Slam with the three species that you got to attack your lure. Your the most talented lure creator I've seen.
Nate you forgot the fun facts on the whopper plopper. LoL
I hope you hit a million subscribers some day. You’re a hard worker and deserve it.
You should make a stonefly nymph for trout
Would love to see you revisit this idea. I feel like you have improved a ton as a bait maker and fisherman in the years since you made this one.
The Japanese banned you??? lol someone's salty, what did they think they were the ONLY mater baiters?
Right they clone everything known to man! Talk about having huge flakes of salt falling off them🤣😂
James Leary not only that. They price everything and act like everything is a form of “art”.... its like a shoe shiner trying to charge $100 to shine your shoes because the way he does it is some art GTFO the only thing they do ok is prob porn and toyotas

11:30 when you drop the soap in prison
great content man, always good to see these videos after a stressful work day. cant wait to go fishing this weekend
I got a challenge make a helicopter lure
Aiden Whitlock
Roland Martin endorsed one back in the day
How about a crop duster?
I really enjoy your videos, keep plopping along.
Who else is watching this right now
No one talks about your music but you always got bangers in the back from Tyler Childers to The Steeldrivers 🔥
Glad Chelsea is healthy and progressing well. Congrats.
Nothing I look forward to more than getting my Marling Baits bell, keep killing it buddy, next do a Scuba Steve bait where his flippers are both independently jointed to create good plopper action!
I like that whopper plopper. That's a cool bait. Dude you are good!
You inspired me to make my own fishing lures for trout. I'm glad you see the difficulty of carving ultralight lures.
Also, I'm very jealous of your band saw. Cutting lexan by hand sucks.
Chelsie is such a Doll!
Great tips MB, Unreal Show, an not covering them "Quickly Released," fish in Your Styrene coated hands is just You being a Fish Friendly Dude.
Brilliant Stuff.
You are an excellent bait maker. And hilarious.
As always really enjoyed the video. Thanks for the update on chelsea, enjoyed your earlier videos where you 2 fished together. Keep up the great work.
Yay! Chelsie update! Looking great!

I Look forward to your videos all the time, they teach me so much, just keep up the fire videos Man.
Congrats again on your guy's pregnancy! Also, your killing these challenges!! But that trout though! It do be like that sometimes!
Great microplopper build Nate!!!!!
I've been using Whopper plopper lures lately for the local Aussie Bass, thoroughly enjoyed watching this!
I’m loving all these videos! It’s evident that you spend a lot of time making these videos and getting the perfect angle for every different shot, and of course the lures are amazing too.
Just showed my brother your last video and he loved it! Kinda wanna see a Bullfrog tadpole Soft plastic, But keep up the great work!
You are the Bob Ross of lure makers.
A gold and black treble hook would look awesome on this! Great job, these videos always calm me down when im stressed. Keep up the good work!
I come for the baits, I stay for the strange talks. Great videos, keep ‘em coming.
You’re a true master of your craft 👍🏽👍🏽
You make me laugh a little and it's pretty impressive to see someone go from pencil to fish in like 6 hours
I live in Arizona, and we have multiple trout species. Some natural and some stocked. Brooke’s have always been #1 on my trout bucket list. #2 is Tiger Trout for sure. Both absolutely beautiful fish! Killer bait, and video as always brother!! Looking forward to the next one!
Keep the uploads coming man... Your work is incredible you're really artistic man you've inspired me to go at my own projects!!!

When I had a sh!t day at work I watch your videos 😆 🤣. Thanks for the awesome content man!
Cool plopper always wanted to try one
Same I went to academy sports but I couldn't find a small one for the bass in my pond
Your videos are so entertaining. I love the content!
Congrats to you and Chelsea!
After trout some pike specific lure would be awesome! Bright colors and a lot of action seems like a fun build and a fun fish to target.
