Dude this is so ridiculously impressive.
Law Dawg is a legend

MY DAWGS
You have the steady hand of a surgeon and the patience of a saint. I hope people watching this appreciate the time and skill that went into this piece of art, truly stunning.
watching your videos makes me want to grow out my beard, retire, move to a tiny cabin on a small lake in conclusion, and wake up every morning at 4 am to go fish the only problem is i’m a 19 year old girl
i also have the strongest urge to make a woodshop in my garage and i don’t even think i’ve ever touched a saw before
He's still in the early beard stages. Wait till it's mid chest length like mine. Everyone wants to pull it or talk about it. And it's always getting in my hoodie zipper 🤕
The only problem is - you think 19 year old girls can't do that! - FOLLOW your dreams! Peace :-)
Ve before you are 50.
I think that you would make a prety fine comedian. All jokin aside tho, it not a bad idea, the movin to the mountains or the workshop. Perhaps in time. Im sure there is lots for you to acheive before you are 50
As an 18 year old girl, I agree. Also happy being 23. 🎉
These videos somehow help me destress for some reason. Something about these videos just help me forget about everything that is bothering me at that time. Keep making videos man. And what you are doing is art and stunningly realistic. Thank you.
I would like to see your attempt at making a life-size bullfrog lure.. in which the back legs move in a swimming motion as the Frog lunges forward. I think it would be a very challenging lure and I can see how that could be done on paper😌 but I'll let you give it thought.
Stunning... A real piece of art- Have you thought about doing a extinct fish eg. Rhizodonts, Rhabdoderma, Platysomus?
Thatd be cool
Megalodon. But shrunk xD
Txxthless he did a great white
Ryan Smolinski there not extinct but
I wanna see a Dunkleosteus lure!
I think you should give us a tour of all your custom baits.
Yes yes yes yes
Noooooo
Cynthia Gomez you mean yes?
I thought in another video he said he gives most of them away to patron supporters
Are you trying to steal my name?? @Tyler Ownbey
Can you imagine stumbling across Marling Baits' lure collection in an estate sale in 60 years time????
That tackle box would be an international treasure.
Dude, you never fail to amaze. You truly are an amazing artist. I think if you could get it to sink, you could catch some giant musky/pike, because that action is just AWESOME! You could maybe try adding some weight at the nose on your trace to pull it down and if casting is an issue, you could always troll it behind a boat. I think I once said (when I first started watching your videos) that’s you should try playing music or something on the sped up parts. I wholeheartedly take that back. Your videos are just superb as they are, much appreciated, and I enjoy every minute! Thanks man 😎👊
Just a side story...
The reason I ended up on your channel (just over a year ago) was because I decided I wanted to try and make some pike lures. I realised that it was going to get pretty costly to start out (tools, power tools, materials etc, and I always go real head on to everything so I know I would have ended up spending a fortune!). So, whilst having a mini marathon watching your videos, a video of a fly being tied by Niklaus Bauer was in my recommended. It was the first time I had ever seen a pike fly and straight away, I realised it was something I could do with less expense (how wrong I was, fly tying is expensive lol). I ended up buying a load of materials, a vice, and started tying pike flies..... then I went out and bought a pike fly combo. This is where I fell in love with fly fishing. It really is a totally different fight and from day one, I have never cast a fly tied by anyone other than myself. Don’t take that the wrong way, I’m no snob, but the feeling of catching a fish on a lure/fly that you have put your heart into making, is one of a kind feeling that I’m always chasing!
Anyways, I’m sorry to bore you with this long post and if you’re still here (I really hope it is ok to do this?!), and you would like to check out some of my flies/pike, my insta is @donw3st
Peace and tight lines everybody ✌️
Octopus lure would open up a lot of possibilities
good idea, with curled up rubber legs so they have more action in the water
фИХТЕНМОПЕД umbrella rig octopus
hehe
He just did this
Irish folk music?!? God damn, dude! You have the best music taste of any RUclipsr I’ve maybe ever watched!
Beautiful lure, but I think the open mouth design caused it to be too unstable in the water
I would totally buy merch, Just putting that out there. I wouldn't mind a sick hoodie or hat.
Absolutely on both!!!!
Hope you're still following 😃
Perfect evening wind down video. So relaxing to watch.
Awesome lure dude. I can't imagine the hand cramps it took to carve this bait. But I feel ya', its so hard to design action....But I imagine so much weight just on the bottom could have used some weight on top, maybe half, to counter act the bottom from swinging so much. And you can't really tailor the tail movement if the body isn't right. Regardless, I'd hang that lure on my wall. Your rotisserie needs a little bit of love. Recently, I 3d printed one that uses gears, servos, and an Arduino. I can use like timing and logic. For example, lure weight isn't a factor because it adjusts the up and down pace so they're equal amount of time. Normally, the down is always a shorter time. I've also experimented with a jitter motion that works quite well. Just an idea. Looking forward to the next vid!
i figured it out!! i know why your videos are so satisfying to watch, you know besides all the wood working and your personality... the lighting is perfect!! your shop is so well lit, every shot is perfect lol ive been watching for a year now and just realized it! lol
35:58 "perfectly balanced as all things should be" *Wipes out half of the fish population with that bait*
Scitobor 123 lmao
Probably only useable for Goliath grouper and stuff
I would love to see a saltwater tackle series and see you bring them down to Florida and try them out on a spring trip to the beach.
@MarlingBaits: Brother, I've been watching your videos for a long time now, and this is still one if the most impressively realistic paint-jobs of any bait you've made to date, next to the bitten zombie bluegill and Mother Catcher. Superb ability and skill good sir!
Omg that rock bass put it on the wall with pride it is a work of art
i came across this and would like to know if you can make me a 40" muskie replica...i fine your work really amazing...
That’s only 10” less than my telescopic rod 😳
AHAHAHA
I just 44 minutes smiling! Excellent work! Rock Bass are one of my favorite fish to pursue. I have one in the freezer that will be heading for molding and casting. 12-1/8”. Approximately 1 pound 12 ounces! Keep up the awesome work!
I love how you use second person nouns like you and ya. It give the videos a more personal touch. 😊👍
I'm impressed you have a rod heavy enough to cast that thing. I'm more impressed with that work of art!
For the tokyo olympics you should make a realised magikarp
its realistic
Yes
It’s cancel
Viperzz rip
here are the most wanted fish lures on this moment:
1) a scuba diver
2) a sturgeon
3) a catfish
4) a seahorse
5) a pike or pickerel
i dare you to pick one and make it (or, whatever, make all of em😆)
if you agree he should make one, like so he will see this and comment which one you want or if you want another one!!!😊😊😊
wanted baits i also see passing by:
1)barracuda
2)tuna
3)squid (didn't thought of it yet)
4)bird
5) rat or mouse
6) bat (i like this one)
7)stingray
8) gar(cool)
9) carp
10 a nemo-fish (clownfish)
11) a fish eating a fish eating a fish (this would be some weird bait)
12) topwater frog lure
13) lizard
14) clown knifefish (if you could make this it would be so f*cking awesome)
15) ice fishing lure
He should make a goliath tiger fish lure
thats an amazing idea! what a cool animal.
The bat would be interesting. Have joints at its wings. Would be an interesting action.
Octopus could open up a lot of possibilities
A bat would be cool he could use the jitterbug piece he took off of this piece and use it for the bat also a frog would be pretty cool as well
I've just realised..... 'FISH & CHIP' the good old English meal! You've excelled in your fish carving and painting abilities... I'd be more than satisfied to just look at it. 👍😷👍🏴
I just caught a rock bass at the lake yesterday, never seen such a deep red color, their eyes are spectacular.
Add more weight, it could make a great salt water bait
Jordin Ward yes please
He lives in Iowa! 😂
@@willobrien4273 but he gives his lures away
It's rock bass they are a fresh water fish. 😂😂
So friggin cool man. I swear your videos are like watching Bob Ross, lol. But yeah, I wonder if maybe if you filled the mouth cavity with clear epoxy or plastic...so that you could still see the detail of the mouth, but could shape it to cut through the water better? Also I bet if it could sink below surface, that it might would swim a little better as well. Just some thoughts! Definitely a beautiful piece as always!
The Bob Ross comparison is spot on! I couldn't place it, but that is exactly what it is!
Yeah man! So relaxing and calming to watch! lol
When you cant catch fish so you make the fish
The open mouth is not causing much. I’ve made multiple open mouth baits. The shape of the bait itself and the ballast have way more to do with it.
By watching ur other videos i didnt think u were capable of something like this...very impressed. Great job
Watching your videos always make me think of my late grandfather, he was an avid wood worker and fisherman. Your videos bring both together. Keep up the amazing work my friend
Do a life sized record common carp
hahaha do you know how big that is??
MARK BAKER that’s the joke 😑
This foo💀
Make a 7" catfish, dude I'm telling you it is crazy. I have made more since the last time I told you but it works dude a pattern that is not taken advantage of enough at all make one.
That would be sweet I never find kitty swim baits around. If I had any artistic ability at all I would make like a 5'' bullhead and almost never take it off by swim bait rod because it is a pattern they never see.
Benjamin Rodman yeah it's crazy how good they are, after I had the idea about a year ago I did some research and found a mattlures soft one which works. I bought it after I made my first one and new it worked. I'll make one and sell it off eBay to you once I buy more clear coat.
Yeah baby willow cats catch some fish. Very much a go to live bait on the Mississippi River/Lake Pepin Wisconsin!!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WORLD RECORD SIZE BASS!!!
This is awesome to watch and knowing it’s happening a hour away from where I live makes much better
Still a work of art. Well done. Art doesn’t need to be functional 😉
You may have accidentally engineered the perfect rock bass lure ,to me the water action looks like a dying or injured rock bass🤔 isn't that what a predator of adequate size would be going for ?
Jeff agreed!!!
Thats actually true
41:45 “ya know, some things are just meant to be looked at. I think this is one of them”…..” I think it’s stunning”
What a good girl. Your a lucky guy! And she’s right. It is stunning.
Beautiful job on the Rock Bass! Definitely too much a work of art to use as a functioning bait. You are a very patient master of this art. I enjoy watching so much. My dad used a pocket knife and sand paper and a few very crude tools to make top water baits when I was a kid in the early 1950s. He was a master of that. Most of his were replicas of Heddon lures. Crab Wigglers and Lucky 13’s were his favs. I have a few of his made in later years when he was in his 80s which are not the same as he crafted in earlier years, but are treasures to me. I’ve only been.watching for a couple of weeks so I’m going back to catch up with some of what you have done. All great and inspiring to see how you do this. I have been restoring some old lures and just learning to air brush. Keep it coming. Thanks!👍🏻🇺🇸🐡🐠🐟
Also I still think a musky would come up and hit this one too, It kind of moves like a dying fish.
How has this video only been out 2 hours and has 4 dislikes? I guess you know you have made it when people migrate to hate ya. Keep up the good work!
This has to be the best bait ever, you never fail to amaze me. You truly are amazing.
Best bait maker in the world. You sir, have a great talent.
You did a good job on the fish. But mainly just wanted to say your dog is beautiful and I badly want a German Shepherd myself.
I feel like we are slowly watching you go insane...kind of like Les Stroud out in the wild for a week
les was my dude! very genuine. but most americans preferred radically fraudulent ‘bear grylls’
That's a work of art!
I've watched all your lure making videos. This one in particular really highlights what a great artist you are. The paint job alone is crazy realistic, and on top of a meticulous carving......Just beautiful.
Great job.
So for 200k sub video can we get a full hour of nothing but Chip , he is a good pupper
I actually like the action in a smaller version it probably looks like a dying or sick fish rolling around before it goes belly up i would use it for sure
That's what I was thinking. Paint some red on it and make look like a dying fish
Outstanding piece of art! So, the action isn’t what you were hoping for, it’s still an incredibly realistic looking bait. Your detail work is really impressive and We can’t wait to see your next project!
I heard tyler childers "nose on the grindstone" in the background. Hes an amazing artist. He deserves a bigger fanbase
You should make a largemouth bass mount like a 10lb one
Since this will be a display piece, are you going to darken the mouth since it’s wide open?
For added realism, have you considered casting fins in thinner, semi-transparent silicone or soft plastic?
Eventually, you may tend towards hyper-realism, and cast each little scale, paint them and glue to the body...teeth...silicone gills under resin gill plates...get nutty with it, bait boy.
Really enjoy your videos- from your techniques to your presentation, including cameos of Chip and Chelsea. Great content.
Totally awesome you never seem to disappoint me in your passion for Lure crafting.
Absolutely love it! The ol' Ozark Googly Eye Bass!
Amazing bait! Next you should try and make a lizard lure🎣
Fun facts is awesome! Great work on the lure! Are you and your wife ever gonna film another small creek adventure when the weather warms up?
Thanks! Yep that’s our favorite kind of fishing
your patience is remarkable! With all of those scales i would have gotten inpatient, busted out out the dremmel and made a complete mess of it. Beautiful work.
That thing is unreal true work of art you are a true master at what you do. Congratz
You could make money making world record reproductions,and making molds of them.I made one of a Smallmouth Bass using a pic of Hayes holding it for a pic,and blowing it up,then tracing it out..For a long time,I didn't think they had a smallmouth bass reproduction..But then saw one eventually posted in Archie Phillips taxidermy catalog one year..I'd make world record reproductions,not lures,and get rich,by marketing yourself that way!Your lures are awesome though!I bet they don't have reproductions for them all!Take your redeye Rockbass for instance!!You could sell it as a "world record replica"!
Looks so real you could fry it and eat it
What a beast! Glad I finally got to watch this video. Just food for thought. A 6-7" squarebill with a jointed largemouth, or smallmouth body would be dope! Looking forward to the next vid.
Beautifully bait, just ask Chip. Seriously, that is ART brotherman! Your veracity is refreashing.
Thanks for letting me watch an awsome build.
Just a thought if you could do a carving tips and tricks video marling.
For 500,000 subscribers you should make the world record largemouth bass into a glide bait.
13:16 man that fiddle was shredding lol
Love this bait!!!! I at one time was quite the artist, and this one ticks all the boxes the level of craftsmanship and artistry you put into this was amazing. Love it!!
you could make a educational set of local fish to donate to a your nearest wildlife center. Our local center only has pictures which dont set the beauty of the fish like your pieces would
Boomer that's a cool idea
We should get a QnA if you don’t mind sharing some things ab yourself
there is something about watching you make lures that's just relaxing and I can't seem to Stop watching... you have some series talent
That is fantastic. I've been watching your videos for a few weeks. I'm completely blown away at your talent. You sir are one hell on an artist. Keep up the good work!
A squid bait would be pretty kool 🦑
You should do aquarium hobby species swimbaits.
Im amazed at the detail and time you put into your baits. Keep u the good work.
Awesome work very impressive. I grew up watching my Grandfather and Dad wood carve on mahogany. I dont carve but appreciate hard work and attention to detail. I got here because i love fishing but all honesty your vids are the highlight of my day very relaxing and interresting. Keep up the great amazing work bud!!!!
Rock bass are in about every creek in southeastern Tennessee.
@@Elbowlegs we do to
Yeah they're just about everywhere here in Michigan too they make great big catfish bait
Huge lure, have to get huge fish
That is one nice piece of art , clear coat brought them colors to life.
Ive said it once, F-ing say it again, work of art! Well done man. You make it look so easy
I think you should try your hand at a plopper bait.
You need to get it to sink more
Brilliant, your attention to detail is amazing 👍🏽👍🏽keep up the good work 😬
This is the only time I’ve ever watched a 45 min video to the very end with no breaks, and yet 200 something people still disliked it. Why?
How about a Squid like bait? :)
You should make a top water frog
I was totally waiting for the line to break and you needing to chase it down the creek during the test. This is an awesome lure/art piece!
It’s ok the thing looks amazing regardless of it’s riding the short bus movement still has plenty of blood sweat and tears invested and your big baits like that are going to be just like all those old duck decoys that everyone foams at the mouth to find and buy and that’s something you can always be proud about so keep it up ur a joy to sit and watch always and hope ur new year is a great one
Can you make a simple lure for pike?
It wouldn't be a bait, but have you ever considered carving a large fish swallowing a smaller fish, or crawfish, or other natural meal?
So extremely beautiful work wow!!!
Stinnett sticks on RUclips has an interesting way to create scales on snakes for his handcrafted walking sticks, the technique may be useful for you on projects like this.
Love seeing a craftsman out of my home state! Great vids and love your humor! Cant wait for the next build!
Wait what the hell!?!?!?!? I've caught world record size rock bass and didn't even know it!?!?!?
B-randen115 letset me too!
What size?
@@lsedanolg about the size (and even bigger) of that picture. I usually go jigging on rocky bottoms with a crappie minnows for crappies and end up getting at least 3 to 5 of them about that size. Everytime they bite it feels like you have weeds because for some odd reason in Wisconsin they don't fight. I also haven't measured or anything because in my opinion rock bass are almost as ugly as bullhead and rock bass taste nasty. I usually throw them back.
Sorry about the size of the picture at 0:08
Rock bass pretty much bite on anything where I live. My dad has caught one on a 14 inch pike colored musky rapala. They are very aggressive but don't usually give off a great fight.
A bro I have a lot of wood working tools that you can use I will be mailing them out to you soon
Always worth the wait!!!!
Well done.That is one sweet looking lure.As I mentioned before I make lures as well.I made one that was top heavy and wanted to fall to side to side when retrieved.Now it’s a display piece.Thats how we learn.Great vid thanks for sharing.
I'm saving up for one of the lures you put up for sale
For if and when
Pls sell me the sun fish
make an otter
I have very little experience but I would say in making large lures like this when gluing 3 or more boards together leave a hollow void in center mass for the lead. It in theory would prevent the roll effect and still alow for good motion. Extremely nice work!
Man this is one of your coolest lures. I live in Northern Michigan and there are literally Rock bass everywhere here it's insane. You got the colors exactly right, and i've caught/seen close to state record rock bass. I know you dont sell any lures you make but you should seriously consider doing it in the near future. i know it takes awhile to make them but im sure some people out there would pay a pretty penny for some of your lures.
