    outstanding job, you can tell every one you make has the time and care put into it to result in a quality product, i have literally bought lures from so called "pro builders" and its clear the time and money are all they are into, probably how they come up with 4 minute builds, they use very expensive pre made skirting material and yours is more time but far cheaper while still looking fantastic, i've been making mine myself for some time now and i love that rivet trick

    Great video & instructions. I prefer the coils but you can't use a hacksaw effectively to cut them. I use a small abrasive cut-off wheel to cut them into small sections. I guess the rivet will work but may not hold up as long. I love that wire coil bender you use. I bought a Dubro Bucktail Twister and it gets the job done pretty well. Thanks for sharing!

    Hello as a lure company owner you should buy heat shrink at menards and go to leaders and lures and you can get pre tied skirts or 64 inch pieces of blended tinsel! if you would like to tie your own.

    Thank you for posting. As a lure maker myself you have opened my eyes to new
    ways to make a bucktail. I like the rivet example, the folding over and later cutting of the flash and the use of Gorilla glue. I use more glue than you, Sally Hansen nail enamel and one final coat of epoxy. I am also using now a variety of material

      Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video. I've expanded my horizons a bit, and am now making wooden lures as well. I'm doing somewhat shorter videos on the different parts of the build, and will be continuing to upload them in the coming days/weeks. :)

    I just came across your video and really enjoyed it! I too enjoy creating my own ( or copying the expensive ones) baits...especially when they work!! Bucktails, topwaters, and glide baits are fun to create. I have been getting most of my components from Dick at Moores Lures on Mid Lake Road near you. Very reasonable and a huge variety of products! Thanks for taking the time to share your great ideas!

      I'm sure, but.. There is a price to be paid for having someone else do work for you, and then there's the personal satisfaction of catching fish on something entirely made with your bare hands, so...

    Could I use bucktail instead of the flashabou with the rivet?

  • @gobarbless3871
    @gobarbless3871 3 года назад +2

    Thank you for this very clear instructional video. I am also a new tackle maker, and I was wondering what is involved in tying flashabou skirts for musky spinners. I agree, the coil spring cores seem like a less-than-perfect solution. I was wondering how flashabou could be fastened to a brass skirt collar. You answered my question. The rivet idea was a good solution. Seems like it would work the same as the brass skirt collar. Now if I could think of a reliable way to fasten the skirt without tying. I am not a tyer and would prefer not to become one. Thanks for the good video : - ) Can you tell me where you bought your flashabou online?

    • @RealLifeFishingWI
      @RealLifeFishingWI  3 года назад +1

      Thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you found the video useful! Short of buying pre-tied skirts, there is no GOOD alternative to tying them by hand. Zip ties do not work, I've seen other bucktails made using them and they literally fall apart in your hands. The process definitely gets faster. Since I made this video, I've made dozens more bucktails, and can now complete one in 5-6 minutes start to finish. Just takes a bit of practice. Thanks for watching!!

      I was buying and using the full length flashabou that is sold on the retail cards. Guessing they were maybe 18" or so? Something like that.

    I use the same wire thats used to mark gaslines. $9 for 100 ofvthem at home depot. Obviously a little more effort for shaping but uts worth it

    • @RealLifeFishingWI
      @RealLifeFishingWI  6 месяцев назад

      That's a pretty solid idea at a reasonable price! The only issue I think I would have with this is that whenever I happen to find one with my lawnmower (we had some construction done a couple summers ago), they are always rusted. I don't mind spending the extra couple of bucks to get stainless wire.
