Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.
Those puds and nuggets with those colors like that could sell for so much if they were mass produced, they might have been the best plastic Baits I’ve ever seen
They Sell for even more if there NOT mass produced. Honestly I find all Mass production does is bring down the quality of a product & just lowers the feeling your supposed to get when you get something that’s hand crafted. Keep em in the work shop MB. This is why were all here for your special hand crafted one of a kinds 😃.
@@Ruger34 ya I know exactly where your coming from there. I’d say if anyone really wanted them tho If they ask fishdaddy 401 he would re-create them if requested.
I was trying to come up with a pattern for an oversized balsa wood squarebill cranks I made for muskys. It's a repaint, I've already caught muskys on it but wanted an orange themed color scheme. And I'm thinking a sockeye salmon just might be the choice. That was an amazing bait you made. Very beautifully done!!!
The most prominent sockeye runs are up in Alaska, well north of the Columbia! It would be bad ass if you made the remaining 4 pacific salmon species (coho, chinook, chum and pink). Maybe a steelhead too if you’re feeling frisky. As a PNW subscriber this is my favorite build by far, well done.
@@captaintrips8786 Except that isn't true either. Sockeye and Kokanee occur all the way down to Monterey bay, and then the climate just gets too warm for them. Maybe their *natural* range wasn't below the Columbia?
I have to say I have been watching your RUclips channel for about 3 years now and finally I have started a new hobby building fishing rods thanks to you
Dude no no bass don't prey on salmon no the seminar always way too big for the best to eat anyway the whole reason why he caught a bass on this loader is because it was just a reaction that is a predatory fish
@@adammcintyre8319 Umm hate to say it "dude", but Bass do eat small and young salmon🤣 You ever heard of Kokanee(AKA land locked Sockeye)? In the lakes I go to a lot in Conconully Washington(HINT LEIF GO THERE ITS AWESOME) Bass eat young trout and kokanee sooo hate to say it but your wrong. No matter what you think you know, Bass eat pretty much anything that they can fit into their mouths.🤣🤣🤣
This channel has made me start buying wood working equipment and started a new bait making hobby for me. I’ve been tying flies for a couple years but I think making hand carved wood baits is my new favorite hobby. Thank you marling baits
This is some of your best carving skills yet!!! Each individual fin and the gills and especially the teeth, the attention to detail is amazing in this lure!! Mad props sir
He climbed an 18ft tree to get his lure back almost went 2 days without any fish cut himself with his own line, but he still didn't gave up. This man has some DETERMINATION
@@jamesringler987 that would be pretty awesome! If he were to do it what size do you think he’d do? Honestly I hope he makes a big bate like he did with that pumpkin seed or blue gill, not sure of the species, he did.
Very, very cool! It's funny that the entire large swimbait craze started primarily with trout patterns, yet this is the first salmon. The bait looks awesome, although I was waiting for you to simply paint a black pupil on the eyes you used!
Absolutely GORGEOUS lure, it's OFFICIAL!!! That was a once in a lifetime shot, catching that bass on video while just skimming the water, that was AWESOME!!!!!
Just so you know every kind of salmon is chrome or silver it's whole life until the end of its journey and they start to turn zombie like and change colors
I've been checking my subscription box every day after work for like 2 weeks wanting a new marling baits vid, what a great surprise to come home to!! Keep up the great work
Having written like 4 term papers about sockeye salmon, I felt a deep sadness when he said “what a pathetic fish”. On second thought I may be the pathetic one writing about fish so much.
These fish are amazing, and their contribution to the ecosystems that they live in is unparalleled in the fish world, no fish is as interesting as these are with their dual freshwater/saltwater lives don't sell yourself short.
Yeah I second what D Rath said. No fish species in the world is as interesting as Salmon are if you factor in their entire lifecycle and how they shape entire ecosystems. Bringing nutrients from the ocean into the rivers and feeding the local fauna & flora on a massive scale sure beats a green ditch pickle that lives in a pond all it’s life 😂
More fun facts: Kokanee are an introduced species here in CT. They're terrified of rainbow trout; a steelhead will eat two adult kokanee per day. A 1" spoon with rainbow trout colors will spook them and you won't catch squat. As the freshwater-only variety, they don't get as large. While they do sometimes eat shrimp, filter feeding zooplankton is about 99% of their diet. How do we catch them? Well, they're *ssholes. They harass and beat up smaller fish when they encounter them. Kokanee can and will follow, harass, and beat up your bait for miles when trolling. They strike quicker if you tip your bait with marinated sweet corn that smells like zooplankton. Yeah, they're *ssholes. Best fun fact ever.
Fun, I live where they're native and protected. Sockeye are pretty intensely respected and protected as a major food source for both people, and the salmon-eating orca population. The introduced perch population is an issue with them, as the perch breed and eat them out of house and home.
@jonpotter1632 Any tips on kokanee fishing in montana. I went a few times but never saw any. Maybe I went too early, or I might have just been in the wrong area?
I have really been interested in making a few of my own baits but wondered about all the stuff you don't show. kind of a behind-the-scenes-style video would be sweet. im a handy guy so making the hook hangers and things like that i understand how and only really needed to see you do it once but i think it would make for a pretty good video for those who dont. maybe you just doing a fun facts video on some fishing history or lure making in general all while making "stock" for baits later on down the road!
The man returns and delivers such natural wonderful facts. God I sure enjoy the facts. Thank you dude. Remember we're all in this together, and I'm pulling for you.
They look like a large rainbow most of the time, they change once they hit fresh water. Males get that beautiful coloring and they get that large mouth(those teeth are sharp enough to rip through a hiking boot).
Having someone to produce some custom painted baits like that is pretty great for those of us that want to test a bait ourselves before buying the mold. Been eyeing the pud and spiffy kick molds for a while now haha.
“I call it pearl snot.” - Nate Marling, 2021 Never have I thought those two words would ever be put together so confidently. 😂😂😂 Beautiful lure though. Good Job!
I live in Florida. Was explaining to my wife why gators lay 50 eggs but then theres only a few adults around... I told her bass eat the babies... You should make a baby gator bait.... Not sure how well itll do in iowa tho
You should make a boat lure and as the prop you can use a propeller like a real boat and I love you vids I’ve been watching then forever so please keep making more 🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾🤟🏾
I've said it before and I'll say it again; your work is impeccable. You outdo yourself with every video and it's been an amazing journey watching your skills progress. I remember when you showed your early early stuff, best man gifts and such, and thinking man, even then his work was better than mine now!
Hmm, what would a lure look like with something like 10, 20 or 50 clear coats... I'm just asking, it's not like I want you to made one... (by the way, I'm a French viewer, sorry for my English that may be bad) And it's offishal, you have French subscribers
Amazing bait, that Salmon really is on a new level. It seems each time you step it up a notch. Also thank you for the bonus fishing shout out, glad those baits brought you some luck.
They are not always red like that. That’s spawning colors. They don’t have the hooked face either until later in spawn. The land locked version of them are called Kokanee. They are silver most of their lives with a back that has a blue hue to it. That’s why they call them “Blue backs”. They one of the hardest fighting fish there is. Super fun and one of the best eating salmon there are. They are a smaller salmon for the most part. One of my favorite species.
Bravo well done. It's just so beautiful. just so unique. Really nice arts and crafts at its best. There is certainly no doubt that you know what you are doing.
Dude Brosky; (Yes, I’m talking to you awesome guy who runs Marling Baits) It’s way too hot in Iowa right now to be throwing any lure on top and expect to catch a fish w it, put that lure on a wall, maybe in a picture frame for extra security or something; that bait is freaking awesome. 👍👍👍
Beautiful lure , i held my breath when you got the tree , glad you put it on the shelf would have been bad to think you lost it .i have a few i have painted on the shelf too , don't want to use the for fear of losing them
Please make a video of the catfish tail spinner catching a monster pike. Nice Sockeye! Idk how you have the patience to carve all the detail and the eye you have for paint is incredible. Love the videos and the channel! Keep it up!
That is a BEAUTIFUL lure!!! You are definitely the most talented and most entertaining lure maker on RUclips. I have two lure suggestions: a life-size, wild-type guppy or a Siren salamander.

Holy Cow dude that looks even better than I imagined, definitely my favorite bait you’ve made thanks for using my suggestion
Once you added the pearl green on the gills I was sold. I really enjoy how realistic this paint scheme came together
This is the only channel that makes me actually happy
For real tho, I get excited when this man uploads. Any other channel that uploads I'm like "oh, an upload." With Nate it's like Christmas morning
