Those turned out awesome. Look better then some of the store bought ones. If you find out you don't have enough room in your tackle box for them all, you could send one my way haha
Thanks Franko, looking forward to on the water testing ! Based on viewing the silvery/reflective surface from underwater, I believe that black is the most noticeable color and white is the most representative color of the counter-shaded bellies of many baitfish. I think that silver/chrome is the least visible/noticeable color for a top-water as it blends with the (wavey) surface. I wonder if color is important on a lure that is back-lit. On a side bar, I camoflage the light gray bottom of my fishing kayaks with large, random star shaped shapes of silver, blue and green to represent reflections of the surface, sky and weeds. Besides looking cool 😎 I think it breaks up the hull and makes it less noticeable to the fish. Been doing that for years and hook lots of fish right beside the boat. Anyway, for top-water lures/flies, I prefer black or white and will occasionally go for bright/hot color so I can see it better during a subtle retrieve. I'm envious of you open water fishing, heavy frost and a skim of ice on the pond in the morning. The boat has been put away for the winter, time to tie flies and make lures 😊 Cheers!
They look great! Would be cool to test also low light conditions vs. more light, cloudy vs. sunny, stained vs clear water to see how they all stack up.
I've been building,testing and comparing wooden lures for years and you know what color works just as good as any,bare wood. The paint scheme hooks the human
There is of course a lot to this. But At the same time there's times when some colors work and other times when other colors work. For instance early season I have a ton of success with crazy colors and late season they don't seem to work well. But late season highly realistic and especially dark lures tend to work much better.
These are some of the first lures I made from wood and I'd love to fill a tacklebox with them, but even when starting with a dowel, each takes too long without at least a mini lathe. Somehow carving and sanding two rounded points ends up being more work than cutting out other shapes on a saw lol.
Wow, I really love this chrome stuff and need it in my shop. Is there ant way of applying it with a brush (Or air brush) to just chrome specific parts of an item, such as only chroming the eye sockets? Thank you so much!
I’ve been looking for the twist tech tool and every place is out of stock. Do you have any recommendations of where I can look to find one, or do they still make them, if not what would be another option? Second question is I am starting to design a smaller uv chamber what would you recommend be the cylinder part? I have the same motor you used for the collapsible turner? Thanks Alex, love the channel
I built one that is just like Franco’s. Believe it or not, I made it out of a concrete form tube. I took pics of the whole process and was going to send it to EA to possibly post for others…just haven’t gotten around to sending it.
john, I would love to see your pictures of the turner. I would even send you my email. What size motor do you have turning the lures? I bought the motor size Franco used for his collapsible turner. I am not looking to make one as big as Franco’s just one that will turn 2 or 3 lures at a time. Thanks for any help you can offer. Alex
You really need to check out Barbatos Rex (another RUclipsr that does plastic models),,, he just released a video of a chrome paint you might be interested in! He also has a color shift paint that would be pretty cool on some lures!
Hi Franco! That bone color is my favorite, I think it will work the best. Not to disregard silver plated lures, I really love gold and blue one as well! Maybe you could revisit copper top / Duracell battery pattern from this ( ruclips.net/video/BNBH0W_oO58/видео.html ) video some time? 480p just doesn't do it justice.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!!!
Thank you
Awesome job! 👍
Thanks! I'm happy with how it turned out.

We put up with hurricanes to fish year-round
Great video. those all turned out looking great.
Thanks!
Nice. The gold is fire.

Great idea!
Man, as much time as that resin spends in the oven... you might as well start a cooking channel. 😂 Nice looking lures Franko!
It would be nice if I could bake some bread along side the lures....something to snack while I wait.

Sounds like the kid’s toys market. They are selling to the buyer not the player

Great video i would love be able to make lures like you do
Thanks...it's all about practice.
Nice morning coffee video
Thanks...it was a little chilly this morning too

I hear ya...my lathe is a game changer.
Woohoo a new video from EA!
That's gratifying...thanks.
I would love to see that silver plating process and links on where to buy it
Future video if there's interest.
I like them the unpainted white, maybe just add the eyes. But I suck at painting, so that probably has something to do with it!
Nothing wrong with white lures!
Great video. Do you have a link to the eye twist tool?
I use to but I haven't been able to find them lately.
@EngineeredAngler I really need one and haven't been able to find one either. Maybe you can show how to build one
👍👍👍👍👍
always bet on black

Not that I know of
Wouldn't be EA without a red chin ... 👍🏽👍🏽

I would like to know about the process for caroming you should make a new video and the prices or doing it yourself
Thanks
