Fantastic job! I’m sure many have learned from watching this video! You also solved the bubble problem I was getting in my epoxy clear coat by showing that nifty mixing device, thank you! Keep up the great work.
Awesome looking lure!! Just a thought about adding weight to lure: I've learnt that when building bigger lures and the intention is to have close to neutral buoyancy, it is better to have the lead inside the lure body when tuning the weight balance. When the lead slugs are hanging outside the lure, their displacement in the water will give a slightly false result -> The lure will sink a little faster. Not really a show stopper in many cases but a good thing to remember. I usually glue or cast the lead to the lure belly, seal the body and trim the weight by drilling some lead off. Quick and easy and enables to have very precise weighting. Great content, thumbs up!!
I think this could easily be modded to have a joint. I have honestly considered casting another one to see how it would swim. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!
Really enjoy your videos. Do you ever do “line thru”? I’ve been making some line thru ladyfish and mullet (for tarpon) similar to commercial made R&R swim baits except I use coated 9 strand. I hate losing them to sharks.
I agree, you really have to be on your game to get this poured before it sets up. I still have quite a bit that I want to use up, but I am always open to trying new products. Thanks for watching!
Looks great man! I actually just got into lure making a few weeks ago and really enjoy it. You do an excellent job with being precise and really thinking things through when making the lures I have seen you make. I just wanted to say that I appreciate the effort and work you put into this craft and making the videos to share your craft with others! Its enjoying to watch and I look forward to sharing some once I get to that level. I will be using some of your techniques while getting started, mixed with some of my own creativity. I just moved down to Arkansas about a year ago, so I need to find some good spots to test some baits out when I get them made. Thanks again.
What a good upload 👍 was really good to see the failed attempts which helped more than just seeing a perfect cast from the get go. Can I ask what the lure weighed before & after you applied the top clear coat?
Thanks! The finished lure weighed just over 3 ounces. I didn't weigh it before the clear coat, but that would be good to know. When I make another one, I can do that. I appreciate your input!
Juvi Tarpon back colors go from black to iridescent olive to dark gray to white. Those of us who catch them will find that blue very unrealistic. Also the lead blanks are a great idea but hot glued to the bottom is going to give you an unrealistic fall rate. Overall very impressive. I think it would benefit from a lip
@@zimmtex actually, I absolutely loved every single video, the process you've gone through, learning and solving problems on video ended up teaching me way more than the ready to use solutions, keep up the awesome work you are doing, I'm sure you'll be a big channel when the random alghorythim finally strikes
Very nice one and great effort! ... I'm sure it would produce offshore as well as inshore.... what was the finished weight of 7" stick ? I guess running the thru wire along bottom of lure would give better options for casting the weights in. Also, adding rattles strapped on wire before casting could be an option...... overall, like your channel and works!.... Thanks for sharing and hope people get to know you faster...
Hey, thanks for watching! I'm hoping to get this out for some saltwater fishing soon. It came out to just over 3 ounces. You're right, rattles would be good option!
Yes, superglue is just a brand name. I'm actually using the Insta-cure brand but you are looking for cyanoacrylate. I guess people just say superglue like they say kleenex.
It is not, but you bring up an excellent point. I'm guessing you are alluding to the phenomenon where a neutrally buoyant lure in freshwater will float in saltwater. I did have a pretty slow sink, but adding foil and clearcoat added a bit more weight. If you need to add some more weight, you can always increase the hook size and/or add split rings to tip the scale in a pinch. You've got a sharp eye! Thanks for watching!
I have not caught a fish on that one yet. The saltwater trip I made it for was unfortunately cancelled. Hopefully I will be able to get it done next summer.
Me too man! I had good luck with the lipless crankbaits earlier this year on bass, but nutn so far on the tarpon. It's really more of a salt water lure. Had plans to take it to Costa Rica this year, but that got Corona'd.
Your work is simply a masterpiece! Thank you for showing all the stages in an accessible form.
Thank you very much for watching!
Great channel. Thank you for not editing out the mispourings - very useful for learning.
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you found it useful!
Wow ....the work that went into that scale pattern is amazing....awesome work
Thank you very much, I appreciate that!
super underrated channel. keep it up man.
Thank you!
@@zimmtex HELO! CAN A 14 CENTIMETER FLOATING BAIT REACH THE WEIGHT OF 50 GRAMS?
@@JuniorSilva-fn5pz Interesting question; I'm not sure, but that would allow you to cast a lot further if you could get it to work.
Fantastic job! I’m sure many have learned from watching this video! You also solved the bubble problem I was getting in my epoxy clear coat by showing that nifty mixing device, thank you! Keep up the great work.

Very nice work
Thank you sir!
Just excellent. I learned a lot by watching this vid. Keep it up.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Nice job!
Thanks!
With one joint, that would make a pretty good looking swim/glide bait.
I think this could easily be modded to have a joint. I have honestly considered casting another one to see how it would swim. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!
Have you ever considered using checkering tools for scale patterns
I honestly hadn't thought about it but it sounds like a good idea! Thanks for watching!
Awesome lure 👍👍
I appreciate it!
Wasn’t excited about school then I saw this and it made my day! Keep it up !
I'm glad, thank you!

Thanks! No, I haven't made any line throughs yet. Those baits sound cool for tarpon!
Nice video
I appreciate your support!
Keep it up ! Love it ! 🐟
Will do, thank you!
Could you please provide me a link to that xacto knife…? That soft handle looks amazing!
You bet, I put a link in the description. Thanks for watching!
I would suggest using a longer pot life resin, I have made a few resin lures and the longer pot life is certainly beneficial.

Meus parabéns esta isca artificial artesanal ficou muito bem elaborada.
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
fantastic! i need to get some micro baloons and resin to give this a go with some old lures iv made but dont want to swim incase i loose them
You bet, it's a great way to make copies really fast! Thank you for watching!
genial, vamos de pesca!!!!!
Thank you!

Thanks for your insight, I appreciate your reccomendations. I have thought about a lipped version, perhaps with one or two joints.
A barracuda would tear that up nice work
For sure! Thinking about a glide bait version.
Excellent, as always! Thanks a lot for sharing! Engineered angler had a similar take at casting resin
Thanks for watching! Having never casted resin before, I figured you could learn from my mistakes or at least get a laugh out of it.

Perfeita está isca artificial artesanal ficou muito bem elaborada.
Thanks for watching!
I think maybe using something like a meat injector syringe could possibly help get the epoxy in the mold faster.
That just might work. You gotta be quick, that's for sure! Thanks for watching.
When you call that glue superglue do you mean it is the same as? Could I just use store bought superglue and backing soda?
Yes, superglue is just a brand name. I'm actually using the Insta-cure brand but you are looking for cyanoacrylate. I guess people just say superglue like they say kleenex.
Try making something similar to the roaman made mother. And try to add your own spin to the paintjob.
Its not a mother, but I did make a 12" trout. I believe the process is similar. There will definately be more glide baits!
What type of wood? Maybe I missed that in video.
I used poplar for the master on this video. Thanks for watching!
And sorry excellent work my friend
No worries, thanks for your support!
Ты крутой мастер!
Thank you!
Suspending or fast sinking (fluttering) gets hit. Slowly floating or in your case slowly sinking does not get hit. Atleast here in europe where i live
So I'm thinking this might work best in saltwater as a WTD lure. I might actually get a chance to fish it that way this summer.
@@zimmtex
Yep, thats what i thought aswell, a subsurface wtd lure. Have you ever tried to "replicate" autowalker from mechanical lures ?
hope that's salt water in the tank ??
It is not, but you bring up an excellent point. I'm guessing you are alluding to the phenomenon where a neutrally buoyant lure in freshwater will float in saltwater.

Did you catch fish with it? Its a shame you make the lure and not catch fish on it
I have not caught a fish on that one yet. The saltwater trip I made it for was unfortunately cancelled. Hopefully I will be able to get it done next summer.
you should go and check out splish splash lures.
Will do, thanks.
Hola mi hermano. En español podrías hacer un video. Gracias por tu ayuda saludos desde Colombia
Hello, welcome to the channel! I appreciate you stopping by.
Hallo my friend
Hello, welcome to the channel!
I'd cal it a jerkbait, a glider.
Certainly, thanks for watching!
Have you checked out Marling Baits he's a great bait maker also!
He is excellent; thanks for watching!
Dude, I don't want to see your bait wiggle in the water. I want to see you catch a fish. Have you ever?
Me too man! I had good luck with the lipless crankbaits earlier this year on bass, but nutn so far on the tarpon. It's really more of a salt water lure. Had plans to take it to Costa Rica this year, but that got Corona'd.
