Thats what makes your work exceptional mikko is the attention to the small details very few of us left in this world that pay that kind of attention to the little details.
Your lures are simply exceptional and seeing how you build them is a joy for our fishing minds ... thank you friend, every time I see one of your "Swimbait diaries" my passion as a fisherman reborn!
This is incredible work Mikko. This looks almost as good as Savage Gears 3D roach and that took an entire company years to develop using 3D scanners and other crazy machines. Keep up the great work.
amazing craftsmanship!! was more concerned with the open craft knife parts than the drill but you clearly know what you're doing. don't try this at home kids 😂😂
Great to see from conception to finished bait ,excellent video and great inspiration just getting into lure fishing and hoping to try making some simple lures in the future for myself. Thanks for sharing
Amazing work..as always! I personally think with all your talent you deserve some top notch wood carving knifes to make you work on the details more comfortable.. That paper cutter must be painful after a while. Maybe you can even get sponsors for this whit that high quality work of yours
2 questions I'm in the USA. What's the of the pink stuff you use to make the mold? and then stuff to actually make the mold the soft plastic stuff that doesn't melt the pink stuff?
This may be a weird question but what wood knifes would you suggest for a new lure maker? i have goten into it for about 3 years now and i want to start making detailed swimbaits insted of smooth paddle tails. any suggestion?
if your doing just detail carving like scales and such i personally like the tajima lc 360 also the Japanese Kiridashi wood carving knifes are pretty badass
well it would be nice but realistically i don't see that happening, this is pretty niche subject matter that I'm dealing with my channel and lets face it, it's not really mainstream.
Did you hand pour the plastic or inject it? I ask due to some collapsing issues I had in the past on a bait this big hand pouring. Also, can you share any info on the harness used, i.e., installed after pour, just a wire with a loop on each end?
Another general question concerning your amazing crankbaits. Do you make them in balsa or also in maple (and afterwards in resin)? And where do you get the cool looking saddle lips or do you make them yourself?
the wood choice depends entirely on what kind of crankbait im making and for what species. i mostly use balsa, maple, birch and featherlite. those saddle lips are very common here in Finland and most stores that sell lure making stuff have them in various sizes.
can you share the templates you used to make the lure ? I tried searching for them but wasn't able to find the exact ones you used. I greatly appreciate it if you could.
i never share those and they get destroyed while i make my baits. why would you want to use my templates anyways, isn't it much more rewarding and fun to create your own designs?
Beautiful work as always. I know you get a ton of questions about the paint for plastics and know it is CAB which, I don't expect in the states anytime soon. Just curious. Is that paint solvent or water based? Thanks.
Hello Mikko, you have incredible capabilities, your video was awesome. Maybe someday, I will do something similar...Thanks for sharing your excellent work and creativity. Mikko, given that you have lot of experience painting lures, do you know how to use in the correct way Wicked UV Glow base and Wicked UV Glow White for painting your lures?... I bought both paint cans thinking to add the UV factor to some of my lures, but I'm not sure how to use them. The UV factor is a very attractive characteristic in some lures for fishing. I have many Japanese lures with UV glow, and they always gave me excellent results when fishing. Thank you in advance for your help.
Watching your videos has made me go get materials of my own to attempt thank you!! However I can't get it out of my head. The joints, is the puddy you use strong enough to not rip apart if a fish bites the rear hook? Or is there something you molded in to keep the bait from tearing apart?? Thank you.
I'm sorry I must just be a idiot. I know that fabric yes. But how do they connect the two pieces? How do they not tear apart? I might be thinking way to hard
no where because i make those my self, actually filmed some stuff recently where i make some of these eyes so in few days time i should have that up ;)
your so right could have just put some Tetragrammacide or Revenge on the background, but then i would have been hit with a copyright claim and just just not fun at all, hence the annoying youtube royalty free music :)
Thats what makes your work exceptional mikko is the attention to the small details very few of us left in this world that pay that kind of attention to the little details.
Thanks chris 🙏
@@SolarfallBaits i just call it how i see it see it.
Your lures are simply exceptional and seeing how you build them is a joy for our fishing minds ... thank you friend, every time I see one of your "Swimbait diaries" my passion as a fisherman reborn!
thanks for the nice words carles, much appreciated
This is incredible work Mikko. This looks almost as good as Savage Gears 3D roach and that took an entire company years to develop using 3D scanners and other crazy machines. Keep up the great work.
Watching your videos is what inspired me to start making my own baits , thanks Mikko
Finally a video. Hyvä Mikko. I think between Mr Adams, Mel lures and you there would be a formidable trio
Gerbrand Grobler thank you for mentioning me in that trio :) I'm feeling proud now :) cheers
too bad we have few thousand kilometers between us
amazing craftsmanship!! was more concerned with the open craft knife parts than the drill but you clearly know what you're doing. don't try this at home kids 😂😂
Really hypnotic to see you build this! I could not turn off youtube until the clip was done damnit
Ogni volta un'opera d'arte!! (Whenever a work of art !!)
You are a great artist ! Keep it up !!!
Incredibile work! Better than any lure I've seen!
Great to see from conception to finished bait ,excellent video and great inspiration just getting into lure fishing and hoping to try making some simple lures in the future for myself. Thanks for sharing
a true artist. nicely done.
That is some serious skill brother. Awesome! Fish on!
Canal Trens de Pesca - Brasil - Parabéns, seu trabalho é excelente!!!
dam that is fine
thanks paul ;)
i will stick it on my blog in a couple of days
hey paul I love ur channel any chance u can make a lure like this so I can see two ways of making it
Nice to see the 2 titans of lure making on RUclips be so loving love love. You both are amazing.
I Always Wonder How A Soft Jointed Swimbait Was Made,Thats Really Cool.
Which gasmask are u using? I saw that 3m has it in different versions. Is protection against organic fumes enough?
the one i have is in the 6000 series, you can buy filters to it that are specifically meant for fumes and such
Thnks :-)
Amazing work..as always! I personally think with all your talent you deserve some top notch wood carving knifes to make you work on the details more comfortable.. That paper cutter must be painful after a while. Maybe you can even get sponsors for this whit that high quality work of yours
Absolutely fantastic!
2 questions I'm in the USA.
What's the of the pink stuff you use to make the mold? and then stuff to actually make the mold the soft plastic stuff that doesn't melt the pink stuff?
the pink stuff is mold max 30 and the stuff i make the actual softbaits is called plastisol
What shore hardness silicone do you use for your molds?
You make a beautiful lures I just started to make my first lure I searched for a drawing for gills can you guide me where I can find it
I just draw everything on paper and just try to imitate what shapes a real fish has.
Merry xmas from Sweden and us guys at Gedifighters. Thnx for all the help, hope u have great 2017. Mini
merry christmas to you too :)
Amazing work. Kudos man.
Hope the fish like these lures as much as I do. Tight lines :D
sooo perfect, big thumbs up
This may be a weird question but what wood knifes would you suggest for a new lure maker? i have goten into it for about 3 years now and i want to start making detailed swimbaits insted of smooth paddle tails. any suggestion?
if your doing just detail carving like scales and such i personally like the tajima lc 360 also the Japanese Kiridashi wood carving knifes are pretty badass
SolarBaits Thanks man and what inch if wood do you use? i have heard u say it was maple but what length
U are an amazing artist
thank you for the kind words ;)
What kind of wood did u use on this? Do u prefer a specific kind when carving out patterns? Are u self-taught? I am just amazed 😳👊🏻👍🏻
maple again. I'm pretty much self taught and i don't think i have any real preference when it comes to carving patterns and such
Thnx for your time. I hope your lures and youtube chanel hits the mainstream audience so u can make a living out of this. U deserve it big time
well it would be nice but realistically i don't see that happening, this is pretty niche subject matter that I'm dealing with my channel and lets face it, it's not really mainstream.
Did you hand pour the plastic or inject it? I ask due to some collapsing issues I had in the past on a bait this big hand pouring. Also, can you share any info on the harness used, i.e., installed after pour, just a wire with a loop on each end?
i hand pour mine altough i do have an injector too just like to do the poiring method more. the hook set up is added after I've painted the baits.
very inspirating and fine Art/Craft!!! what thickness has the wood where you drop your stencil?
Masterpiece Well done

Do you feel that making it in two halves makes the prototype stronger?
No not really, if i do end up doing that its because i don't have thick enough wood
Cool video. It's some fat roach there :)

Great job dude!
3D roach handmade?
please , are it Balsa wood ?
and are i can use another type of wood ?
no its not balsa wood, i used maple here
thanks you are very helpful and respect
are i can use any type of wood for make rapala
or some types of wood and what the best
Mikä muu puu voisi sopia tähän? Onko noi palat minkä paksuisia?
why do you use a small carpet knife rather than an exact o knife? I have had better luck with an exact o knife which is why I ask.
i find that exact o knifes to be too flimsy for my use and the handling does not suit me, so i guess its up to personal preference.
which material did you use for the bait himself?? plastisol?
yes its plastosol
amazing work as always :)
Beautiful work as always. I know you get a ton of questions about the paint for plastics and know it is CAB which, I don't expect in the states anytime soon. Just curious. Is that paint solvent or water based? Thanks.
All softbait paints regardless the maker are solvent bases
Hello Mikko, you have incredible capabilities, your video was awesome. Maybe someday, I will do something similar...Thanks for sharing your excellent work and creativity.
Mikko, given that you have lot of experience painting lures, do you know how to use in the correct way Wicked UV Glow base and Wicked UV Glow White for painting your lures?...

I have many Japanese lures with UV glow, and they always gave me excellent results when fishing. Thank you in advance for your help.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with those specific paints, so i cant really say anything about them
Thank you Mikko ....
Which plastic that you use?
Balázs Tóth i dont use any plastic here. The mold is made from silicone and the lure it self is plastisol.
Bad ass brother
Exlent like all the time! Questions: Difficult in France to find Soft Lure paint, what do you use for that please? thanks for you're response.
i use cab coatings products like i mention in the video im no sure if you're able to get them in france though
Thanks ;) i'll go to see if i can buy this product...
yep, this paint is now available in France.. Thanks again
Watching your videos has made me go get materials of my own to attempt thank you!! However I can't get it out of my head. The joints, is the puddy you use strong enough to not rip apart if a fish bites the rear hook? Or is there something you molded in to keep the bait from tearing apart?? Thank you.
I used a tulle mesh in the joint segments to strengthen them
That's exactly what my buddy said I can't seem to find them. Is there some where particular you buy them? Or online? Thank you again!
search for "tulle fabric" you should be able to find it all over the place, most fabric stores will have it in various sizes
I'm sorry I must just be a idiot. I know that fabric yes. But how do they connect the two pieces? How do they not tear apart? I might be thinking way to hard
I watch. You make the cut in half with the angle. Make the molds of both separate pieces. What interlocks the pieces back together? A thin fabric?
hey Mikko. what diameter airbrush needle do you use?
for soft paints 1.8mm
SolarBaits and for the regular baits
Glenn Goovaerts 2.0mm for normal stuff
Also for your detailed stuff. I think I have 0.15 on my harder Steinbeck. And it's too fine
it is so nise
Oooh yes soft lure
brill
What are you gonna fish for with this bait?
big pike
What country?
any country that has big pike
awesome video
wow!
Well done
what do you use to cast?
If you mean what rod i have, its a tackle industries extra heavy musky rod
SolarBaits oh sorry, bad wording. I meant what resin or plastic do you use?
i use wake plastisol to cast the the softbaits
ok thanks
I want this one.. Plesss
dude I love your shit!
Man this is cool. Do you sell your molds?
nope i don't sell them
wow
!
how mouch ?
i have not set on and price yet
let me know thanks
Where can I buy fish eyes like yours?
no where because i make those my self, actually filmed some stuff recently where i make some of these eyes so in few days time i should have that up ;)
SolarBaits
awesome thanks
omg , nice .
hey buddy .you should have some thing to protect your fingers .Trust me I went to the er.
it be easier to frizz a dead Roch save you all that time
where is the fun in that? :)
Dibs.
U should sell them
i do sometimes
This is not a soft swimbait its wood
evidently you did not watch the whole video
no to by mě mohlo p...l políbit
dude i have no idea what you are saying here
.
Why have that annoying music playing??????????
your so right could have just put some Tetragrammacide or Revenge on the background, but then i would have been hit with a copyright claim and just just not fun at all, hence the annoying youtube royalty free music :)
Better with NO MUSIC AT ALL!!!
i disagree that makes everything extremely boring to watch
Since you are NOT the one watching....I think your opinion matters little. You are the one loosing subscribers AND viewers
As the content creator of this channel I'm the only one whose opinion matters. If you made your own videos you would understand.
So basically a savage gear ..
Yes it was quite similar to their roach.
