we fish with a fly called a "nothing" in early spring the trout will eat a bare size 12 or 14 silver hook with just a dot of black or orange thread built up at the head and then varnished
As a kid, I caught plenty of bluegill on plain hooks. They'll hit anything that falls into the water. We'd toss in pebbles to see them take them and spit them out.
I think this is the first time that I subscribed to a channel not because of the content, but because of the character. A+ entertainment value bud. Thank you.
Over the years of watching your channel, what I enjoy is seeing the method to your madness. Your paint jobs, choice of species, intricate mechanisms, everything is just nuts, but it works ingeniously. Another great lure, Nate.
What a god-tier pond. Beautiful water, nice surroundings, dock and structure. Good size and healthy wipers, large mouth, small mouth, crappie, and who knows what else! I am jealous
One of my favorite topwater lures was a clear torpedo with a white deer tail. Man I miss that lure... not sure who made it but I can show you the tree that ate it 😎
That would definitely be on my top wish list for that pond. You can tell it is super well managed from the water color and the fish are super healthy looking.
LMAO - “the answer is clear”! 🤣🤣 OMG thank you for the Monday morning laugh! I’ve been out of the office for a little over a week and it’s Monday. Today is gonna be fun… 😳🙄😑 but you made it better. Thank you! 😂😂😂😅
Long time viewer (since your silent days) my 5yo watches every ep now too....Every single fish we catch he screams "it's official!!!" Thanks for all that ya do bro.
love it "its official catfish like nothing" youre by far the best thing thats happened too me🤣🤣🤣 been watching you since before you were big and i must say i love what you have become and what you do. thank you for the videos
As much as I love to watch when you paint, this bait was a real treat. Reminds me of that trend in the late 90s early 00s where it seemed like everyone wanted clear plastics on their electronic devices. Its nice seeing the inner workings of the hardware
Turn that concept into a swim bait with 4 layers on the front and three on the back. Bigger air pockets and the triangle theory you recently had. Love the video
Would love to see another attempt at the weedless bait that was not only an awesome idea but think could really by something people would buy. Love what you do either way great job
Oh this is brilliant! I would like to see in that design a slot for replaceable luminescent sticks so that we can determine if the fish like nothing with extra green light...an evening/early morning trial would be a banger for a luminescent bait....
Those clear lures reflect a lot of the existing colors in the water. That’s why the clear plastic soft swim baits work so well. The baits look like the bait fish in the specific body of water you are in… which you probably know but I’m older than you and feel a need to counsel!🤣 Good ONE DAY!
Hey Marling, 'member when that guy sent you a scroll saw?.....'member????...... But seriously, that was the tool you were looking for to cut the middle out of that piece. Like its designed for that exact situation. Love it man, your channel bridges channels of interest like fishing content and maker content. Both of which I like and watch, you've found the space between and I'm here for it.
Think the lure is an A+. You asked for comments about what "I" want. Your painting is A+ especially when doing a bait fish, or a fish. I would assume doing it for as long as you have you get "tired" of same old same old. However, i could watch you do just jointed, painted fish every day. You are an A+ my friend.
Have you got you and your family another dog yet. I suggest you call him Dale. Every kid deserves a dog and you're just a big kid too. Love your vids. Fishing was my first passion.
My #1 early Spring and late Fall topwater lure for smallmouth, is a clear Sammy 100 or a clear Gunfish 115. Smallies eat em best when they ignore everything else.
That lip reminded me of a K9 swimbait / crankdown. You need to do one like that! Removable lip glide to a Jointed cranking bait. Where it walks (deadwalk) under water.
You should try other versions of this bait - one with a rattle in the hollow space, a colored LED or with a UV reflecting coating to see if they work even better. Also, coatings like matte Vantablack or flat mirrors on the sides would be interesting to test on a different bait.
2 of my favorite lures growing up were the baby torpedo and the Zara pup both clear. I have caught more bass on those 2 lures than any other here in South Mississippi.
I think about and make lures . I've always wanted to make a see-through hard body (to some degree) where 'blood' is moving somewhere in it as you work the lure. With a see-through through lure, you can also put the detail on the inside......so thinking a long those lines
Decent looking lure. (Pre fishing). A thought occurred to me, but make it with a double hollow section, cause then you could turn it into a rattle bait.
Clearer the water the clearer the bait. Your pond appeared to have clear water. I figured your bait would do well. Some of the most successful baits are the translucent Wiggle Warts. If the fish get too good a look at most baits they identify it as fake. Unless I’m fishing stained or dirty water I’m using something more subtle. A good color for top water in clear water is bone. Really enjoy your videos
Will fish eat a hook? (a hooked shaped lure with hooks off the bottom)
Yeah they do. When you herring fish you use a gold hook nothing more. At least in the delaware river.
I second this nomination

Please pin this!!

My favorite part is when the fly landed and got shot. "ahh much better" -marling baits
keep up the good work dude congrats on 600k too
YEAH THAT'S SOO TRUE 😂
Over the years of watching your channel, what I enjoy is seeing the method to your madness. Your paint jobs, choice of species, intricate mechanisms, everything is just nuts, but it works ingeniously. Another great lure, Nate.
What a god-tier pond.
Beautiful water, nice surroundings, dock and structure.
Good size and healthy wipers, large mouth, small mouth, crappie, and who knows what else!
I am jealous
Such prominent net use! How responsible! I'm so proud of you!
This nothing bait has merit. Catches all kinds of fishes. Nice work Kent…please pursue this nothing thing !!!!!
Attempt #51 of asking for a Payara (vampire fish) lure!
Second this.
That would be sick
100 likes and Nate has to do it
I think he made one a while back.
I’ve done this 51 times and this the first time it’s really blown up lol
One of my favorite topwater lures was a clear torpedo with a white deer tail. Man I miss that lure... not sure who made it but I can show you the tree that ate it 😎
That would definitely be on my top wish list for that pond. You can tell it is super well managed from the water color and the fish are super healthy looking.
Largemouth, smallmouth, catfish, crappie AND wiper? That's like a dream backyard pond.
This is actually one of my favorite videos that you’ve made.
So the question is are you making something from nothing or nothing from something the answer is clear lol
Took me to long to think about tbh with you 😂
LMAO - “the answer is clear”! 🤣🤣 OMG thank you for the Monday morning laugh! I’ve been out of the office for a little over a week and it’s Monday. Today is gonna be fun… 😳🙄😑 but you made it better. Thank you! 😂😂😂😅

love it "its official catfish like nothing" youre by far the best thing thats happened too me🤣🤣🤣 been watching you since before you were big and i must say i love what you have become and what you do. thank you for the videos
So clear makes a super effective bait fish that attracts the larger bass of the pond.
Hello again Nate. Still missing a riverside lure build for the year. Keep it up!
Love to see a clear lure like this full of dry glitter ✨️ great video mate
So glad you got to the ditch as well. River fish love a big fat nothing burger too!
Enjoying these recent uploads man
yeah me too
I thought that was gonna be a new plastic addition to the channel, but nope, just another brilliant idea from the legend himself
Been watching for a little over 7 years and every video is always just great
Well, that performed much better than i imagined it would……and what an amazing little pond with so many species in it…AND Chunkers. 👍👍👍
Next do the “anti-lure”, no lip, no action, no flash, camouflaged paint scheme.
Dude. This has got to be one of the most fun videos. 😂 Very awesome lure.
♡♡♡ Love the slow motion releases.!
I'm naming it the ice cube lure! Awesome, thanks for this and all your hard work and content 😀
As much as I love to watch when you paint, this bait was a real treat. Reminds me of that trend in the late 90s early 00s where it seemed like everyone wanted clear plastics on their electronic devices. Its nice seeing the inner workings of the hardware
Not sure how you keep coming up with these ideas, just glad that you do. Great job!
Love the videos ive been watching for 4 or 5 years now and i swear each video gets better keep up the great work.
I know for a fact that large bass and stripers love a clear Zara spook style topwater bait. And they're cool. O-fish-al. 😎👍
Random facts just a couple. Thanks for dropping new videos, I hope the family is doing good!
That’s the most unique pond I’ve ever seen. Really awesome
That is the most amazing pond in the universe!
Made my day man always happy to see you post!!
That pond is amazing. Nice build and another great video.
That bait is killin em! Great video!
So satisfying to see your hardware in the hole....
We are so thankful for your amazing content!!
super awesome nate! great idea to make a nothing bait. the fish action was fantastic my friend. thank you.
Just noticed the award for valor.
Well done Nate.
Ya Im pretty sure he talked about it in a video a while back. Wish I remembered what video it was
it was for his life saving efforts as a lifeguard in Cedar Rapids when he was 18 years old. Salute!!!!
Thanks for making my suggestions. Just made my day.
Cool lure! That is a nice pond!
Turn that concept into a swim bait with 4 layers on the front and three on the back. Bigger air pockets and the triangle theory you recently had. Love the video
Bro just Irish mafia’d that fly 😂😂😂
Would love to see another attempt at the weedless bait that was not only an awesome idea but think could really by something people would buy. Love what you do either way great job
You are my first favorite lure maker ever lol😊
You sir, are like the Bob Ross of making and fishing the lures you make.
You are my favorite lure maker ever 😊
Man, what an epic pond. Largies, smallies, wipers, crappie and catfish?? Daaaaaang
And now i know I've been painting all my lure blanks for no reason! Thanks Nate!
Oh this is brilliant! I would like to see in that design a slot for replaceable luminescent sticks so that we can determine if the fish like nothing with extra green light...an evening/early morning trial would be a banger for a luminescent bait....
Why Oh why? This simple transparent lure works like magic!!!👌👌👌
Great lure, awesome pond. Non stop lure crushin and slo mo releases, say less.
Those clear lures reflect a lot of the existing colors in the water. That’s why the clear plastic soft swim baits work so well. The baits look like the bait fish in the specific body of water you are in… which you probably know but I’m older than you and feel a need to counsel!🤣 Good ONE DAY!
Make a replica of your kayak and see if it catches anything! Love the work you do.
14:28 When that chainsaw kicked in I was like "Yeah, that ain't helping." 3 seconds later, monster bass slams the Nothing lure!!!
Another classic One Day! Would love to see a Top Gear style ranking system for your quickest offishial One Days
It would be cool to see a Riverside build where are you build one plastic, one metal and one wood lure all from recycled or found items👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Marling, 'member when that guy sent you a scroll saw?.....'member????...... But seriously, that was the tool you were looking for to cut the middle out of that piece.

Crazy dream pond, never seen something like it.
That's EXACTLY how I talk. And you should do a catch and cook with both pond and river Bass and see which tastes better.
On the next episode, vantablack lure!
That glow when you cured the adhesive makes me think a small LED would make a glowing lure interesting.
Think the lure is an A+. You asked for comments about what "I" want. Your painting is A+ especially when doing a bait fish, or a fish. I would assume doing it for as long as you have you get "tired" of same old same old. However, i could watch you do just jointed, painted fish every day. You are an A+ my friend.
Awesome Ghost Lure! I would say fish REALLY like Ghost Baits! 😃👍
The manual start for your little belt sander is a nice safety. Lol
Absolutely love your content ,keep up the amazing work 👏👏
Have you got you and your family another dog yet. I suggest you call him Dale. Every kid deserves a dog and you're just a big kid too. Love your vids. Fishing was my first passion.
I haven't been counting, but I've definitely been asking for an EPIC redo of the mantis lure. Haha.
this may be one of your best producers
The guy who owns that pond has created a perfect fish-ecosystem
Nice man love your vids.Here from South Africa. :). we have the spotted grunter and they love translucent lures 😊
Congratulations on 600k man!!!
Crazy cool multi species video!!!
I love the kayak fishing wish you would do more.
My #1 early Spring and late Fall topwater lure for smallmouth, is a clear Sammy 100 or a clear Gunfish 115. Smallies eat em best when they ignore everything else.
1:17 I like how you get the sander going lol
Hell yah ! The bug assult .love that gun
Now I want to try this great video marling!
The center cutout you could put a colored foil between the outsides. And with all the various foils available, the ideas abound.
Video quality was really nice in this one.
Some very nice fish, Love the videos as always!
600k subs!!! Congrats Nate
Another bait to slay!!!🔥

Day #1 of not asking for anything, and enjoying what I get from the channels I subscribe to. Thanks for the cool lure builds
2 of my favorite lures growing up were the baby torpedo and the Zara pup both clear. I have caught more bass on those 2 lures than any other here in South Mississippi.
Finally, an answer to the ultimate question. Thanks Nate
Awesome. Should put gold and red flake in the clear and let that thing shine. It's official!!
I believe the “engineered angler” does this. He paints the inside of the layers. Looks pretty cool.
👍😎✌
Enjoyed
The
Show.

This was awesome!
I have a clear super spook jr. It has caught many bass and red fish. I think there's something to these clear lures.
Marling baits video on my birthday. What could be better than that?
I think that’s my next purchase of color for clear water lakes. Blanks (invisible)catch fish in clear water!!! On to the next bait!
Clearer the water the clearer the bait. Your pond appeared to have clear water.
