I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Your eye for painting is incredible. You're one heck of an artist and lure maker. You should make an Iguana lure! They're everywhere down in South Florida. I bet giant bass would destroy it!
As a professional artist, I first started seeing your videos as background sound until I caught interest in your technique, especially the super glue and baking soda. Which I’ve now used in my process as well. Incredible what you can learn from different forms of art! Now I wait for new videos every week lol great work! A puffer fish would be fun to make or a manowar ! As a floater
Been waiting months and borderline years for this one, i almost dropped my phone in shock when I saw the name of this video, fantastic work as always 😎🎣
When that burr bit came out of there on the big mistake i could hear the drill press snickering and softly saying "You'll learn your lesson and come back to me." LOL!! ..... WOW!! That splatter masking fluid technique was a great idea and worked great!!! You always say it's hard to get random. Well that came out wonderfully random. Looks great. ..... im afraid that action and the ditch will not end well for the Flat Head.💀🙃
Be fun to see you remake a couple of those old baits, with the same idea in mind as when you first made them. Like people do with old drawings. Then vs now, or 12 years later. Been watching for a long time, and your consistent great attitude is inspiring and motivational. Thank you
That would be so cool in soft plastic the action would be crazy!! Or hear me out a soft plastic replaceable tail on a jointed swim bait. I feel it could be feasible to reinforce the soft plastic with a 3D printed piece and make a mold to shoot the plastic around it maybe something for epic bait molds to take a look at lol😉 I think Nate might appreciate the challenge or the comment at least😂 much love keep up the outstanding work!!
Need a saltwater bait series to see what bass will eat, tarpon, snook, redfish, sharks, dolphin, whale, the list goes on and on and oh specially finding nemo
I have a huge fascination with catfish so i love this video. I love catching catfish and keeping them as pets. I bought a redtail catfish a couple years ago and bought a pool for her so now i can put other big catfish in it with her and have a real cool predator pool full of catfish.
What I think would be kind of funny, would be to carve out a loaf of bread in the package, so a package of bread, you could have the tail be the opening to the bag or something, and paint it in a Wonder Bread color.
Yeah that'll be one awesome looking dirty shark lol I mean shovel head , no, mean flathead catfish lol ... Muddyrivercatfishing Kris Flores would be happy to see this episode 😁👍 awesomeness!
Down in Vicksburg, Mississippi, there's a civil war battle ground that's a national park In the park there's an ironclad battle ship that was discovered years ago, and according to the preservation crew, it sank whole with numerous cannon ball holes just at the waterline. The slit covered it throughly fast enough to preserve most of the crews belongings inside the ship It was whole until they tried to pick it up with two cranes mounted on barges, but used cables that sliced through the massive oak beams running the length of the ship, plus all the heavy timber that was once encased in sheet iorn. There's several story boards detailing the things found within it around the display cases. One of them describes the bones of a very large catfis, and according to the biologist that examined the bones. They established that the catfish was minimum of 300 lbs, and they have reports of catfish taken from the Mississippi River that large and larger supposedly verified by the skulls and vertebra that's been examined from the 1700, 1800's. They believe that they were blue catfish, and numerous finds of the rare these days around the area of duckbilled catfish almost as large according to what I read about down in that part of the Mississippi River, but I would think that if they both were there, then they were all along most all of the Mississippi River, and every river, and stream that feeds into the Mississippi River from one end to the other. Thought that was interesting enough to remember, and pass along over the years, but as of how factual this information is, is only what I have read there at the natural park, as well as reading miscellaneous articles over the last 40 plus years. Honestly other than the park information, couldn't tell you at this time who wrote the other information, are who the articles were published in it's been that long ago since I read this. Maybe someone from the area along the rivers can verify, or even shoot holes in what I read years ago. Won't hurt my feelings in any way, and I really would like to know one way or another if it factual, or bullshit personally.
Id also like to thank you for getting me into baitmaking myself. I made my first homemade bait out of a wine cork, bottom off a coke can and some steel bbs . Cork wasnt the best choice lol. My screws pulled out but amazing action
Good old hydro dynamics at play here, every object will take the easiest path thru water, the average Glide Baits are a lot higher than they are wide, this gives them the side to side movement. With that catfish being flat and not very high the less resistance was over top & underneath the lure, allowing it to move up & down thru the water column, also the 2 pectorals then worked as a diving lip. A very cool build none the less, and a failure is only if you don’t learn from it 🤷🏼♂️ really enjoy your tips, techniques & carving skills👌
Absolutely love the videos been watching for years. Recently enlisted in the navy and will be thinking of nothing but fishing and your videos while at basic. Can’t wait to for the stockpile of videos to watch when I’m done though!
Ok, I think I'm in too deep: I got a little anxious when you didn't let Chip out after your "ONN TO THE NEXT BAIT!" Can't wait to see you make this catfish official.
I once was fishing a top water rapala. It was a silver and black minnow, real old skool lure, maybe an inch long. Had a flat head catch fish just destroy that lure on the top. Never got him to in, but he was a good 10 pounds I bet. It was quite a thrill. Beautiful lure. Reminded me of that good fishing trip with my dad. Wish we landed that fish, but he was the one that got away
Not gonna stop asking for a yellowfin tuna lure: Edit thanks for all the support guys!
World record
4ft long
Tuna steak
I would love to see that paint job
Yes we need a tuna lure
Medium rare steak with coffee for lunch is the most American thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I love it
Swap out the coffee for beer and it's Aussie
@@MrMiguellanot just aussie also American people having beer with steak here is more common than coffee with steak 😂
This is the best bait channel on youtube. There is no comparison
Facts
Facts
Possibly the greatest ad I've seen for anything ever! 😂😂
Snakehead lure sounds fun
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Your eye for painting is incredible. You're one heck of an artist and lure maker. You should make an Iguana lure! They're everywhere down in South Florida. I bet giant bass would destroy it!
HA the way you covered up that scratch with Super Glue and Baking Soda... 😂 We should just call it The Bait Maker's Bondo at this point! LOL
oh, i was panicking! 17:30
I think it would be funny to try to recreate those old lures you made into real working baits. Especially the clothespin one.
Always amazing to watch the baits come alive. Keep winning thanks for sharing your gifts.
Gotta love when Nate posts a video on my day off 🙏🏻

Never in my life have I wanted a lure so bad……brings a tear to my eye to see such a beautiful bait being made😢❤…..you do amazing work
Dude the narration is magnificent. I'm close to tears here 😂 Thank you ❤

Your skills are getting better with every video keep it up
Im sure Spencer would love this odd cave cricket
I thought of Spencer too!! Spencer and flatheads just naturally go together!!
Showing those Baits you started with gave me hope😂

Spencer Bauer needs this one, gotta go catch a flathead with him too
I think this channel in underrated
You should try a betta fish wether plastic or hard bait I think it'd be dope. Love your vids btw!
Ooh, a soft plastic betta with the long fins…..gorgeous idea
A Marling and Solarfall bait making video on the same afternoon. Let's Go!!!!! 🎣
This man has taught me more about fish than I will ever need to know but it is neat
Ah u just need to start fishing man. . .you can never know too much about fish when you're chasing them. . .
@@CockMcBallsddd I fish every second I have a chance to fish
I brought this idea up to you a few months back, I'm glad you finally decided to make it Nate
Make a wels catfish next. It has an interesting tail that would give a good action in water. Would be exciting to see. Great video btw keep it up❤
That would be so cool in soft plastic the action would be crazy!! Or hear me out a soft plastic replaceable tail on a jointed swim bait. I feel it could be feasible to reinforce the soft plastic with a 3D printed piece and make a mold to shoot the plastic around it maybe something for epic bait molds to take a look at lol😉 I think Nate might appreciate the challenge or the comment at least😂 much love keep up the outstanding work!!
Every time I see your lures I just have say wow
0:22 "I'm actually going to go for... A slow sink."
Flatheads are my favorite game fish! Best fight in my opinion and I've caught a handful of musky
Need a saltwater bait series to see what bass will eat, tarpon, snook, redfish, sharks, dolphin, whale, the list goes on and on and oh specially finding nemo
Your videos always inspire me to paint more realistic lures!!! Keep up the great work!!!
Man, I'm diggin the color!!
every video you put out is a banger
“Flatheads look like dirty sharks”, had me chuckling pretty good. You’re not wrong, Sir. 😆
Soon as I saw it I new it was a flat head, looks fantastic.
What an awesome lure. Loved the vid!
These oblibaitions are gonna be amazin' 🤙
Sweet bait! One of my favorite fish to fish for!
I absolutely love this one flatheads are my favorite species
Damn that came out fire!

Nice to hear that you wrestled!! My high school wrestling team made It to the state finals last week!!! Wish me luck!!
Another bait, another inspiration to make my own lures! ❤
Been waiting for this!!! Love fishing for flathead and bass!
“Dude, I’m gonna call flatheads granny cats from now on” and thats how fish get 20+ names. Very nice lure
Such a perty granny cat
I've been waiting for a flathead catfish!! Keep up the good work! 👍
Always happy when I see a new upload
This channel has the most wholesome comment section ever

Still waiting on the original art t-shirt.
Another great vid! Nate the Great Bait maker never fails!

Dude the tunes in this episode 🤌
You should make a saltwater lure like a mullet swimbait
🔥🔥🔥
Love your content. Always great when you upload. Especially on mondays. Start the week off right👊
You explaining what the hell the bait was doing when you were testing it in the tank was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
Nice looking bait Nate, you should try and make a 6” soft plastic bullhead
I suggested a bullhead bait of some kind before, but Nate didn't bite. It's a good idea imho.
Love the stake and coffee B roll 😂
Another awesome masterpiece Nate…
We need to see those OG baits being fished with at least in one video please!!!!
Might be my favorite so far ❤
Can you humor me a bit and make a dwarf gourami lure?
Oh yea I really loved to see this I wanted this and I actually commented for it😂😂
Amazing work once again !
What I think would be kind of funny, would be to carve out a loaf of bread in the package, so a package of bread, you could have the tail be the opening to the bag or something, and paint it in a Wonder Bread color.

In-Fisherman magazine did a piece on historical Catfish catches years ago. You could goggle it on the interweb.
You know he's good when he has to make sure its "not all perfect looking"
The widemouth blindcat seems like an excellent fish to replicate with soft plastic
Can't wait to see what kind of monster eats flatheads !
I always love your video’s! Keep up the good work❤
Maybe a cool idea, make a zander swimbait? Seems like a nice idea to me!😊
Excellent bait yet again!!!
Id also like to thank you for getting me into baitmaking myself. I made my first homemade bait out of a wine cork, bottom off a coke can and some steel bbs . Cork wasnt the best choice lol. My screws pulled out but amazing action

29:45 i wasn't thinking about those cheeks until you made that comment... Had me laughing thanks for that!
Ok, I think I'm in too deep: I got a little anxious when you didn't let Chip out after your "ONN TO THE NEXT BAIT!" Can't wait to see you make this catfish official.
I love you MB!!!
Just awesome, great job.
yay thank you for the upload

Wish we landed that fish, but he was the one that got away
I feel like eating a medium-rare steak for lunch is a strange, but welcome flex. Also always a great video when Chip makes an appearance
And tonight is a good night for sure now
You should surprise KayakCatfish with this bait. Just randomly shows up in his mailbox.
Favorite quote, "flatheads kind of look like dirty sharks" 31:27 😂
That was the best add read I have ever heard
