U go boy !!! I knew when I saw ya back in ur beginning that U were a hands on country boy. Seein y’all build the flat bottom n other tutorial’s in the shop/on water are so relatable like a brother from another momma. Thanx brah be good
Ott, thank you for this video on how to build a crank bait. I like working with wood so this should be a fun project. Be awesome to catch something on it.🐟🎣
Very cool and interesting video, can’t wait to see the rest of them! Best of luck at Fork and God Bless! Thanks for taking the time at Caney to sign autographs and take pictures with me and my daughter!
This is such a great video of your bait making process and customizing your equipment, and saving others time and money. Thank you for doing this series Ott 🙏😎💯 of course I own a dozen of your Rapala OG Slims and Tiny 👍✊🎣
Awesome video Ott always enjoy making my baits just the way I like for confidence i appreciate your videos can’t wait for the rest of the Series you the man God bless 🙏
Just watched your video on making baits . It is a great video I have the tools and retired. I have my boat ready for ice out in p.a. so time to try this. Keep up the great fishing videos and in your tournaments. Aways watching
Ott,thanks for this series.I will have some time on my hands this July.This is something I've always been interested in,looking forward to the rest of the videos.
Woo too cool man!!! It shows that you’ve done that many times. Can’t wait to see the bill install. When do you have time for this nowadays?? Glad you do thanks!!
Ott, I love all your posts, plus being a Christian is a huge Blessing. What changes to my Helix 7 G3N would you recommend when fishing the Big O or other shallow water fisheries? I fish lots of canals where the water is 5' max. I appreciate any suggestions.
The router work looks a little sketchy. Can you do it with a pusher or some other tool so your fingers aren’t so close? Wanna keep all the digits for fishing.
Ott I would love to be a camera man for you one day , I literally love to fish everyday of the year ( I live on Watts Bar) I’ve graduated and can even have a whole other bass boat to record out of.
Being a Carpenter of 35 years I would like to Correct you. You Never cut off the line! They WILL be Closer to Consistent if you leave the line when Cutting and Sand the line off. You could get an attachment for your drill press to make it a drum sander? It's Neat watching you create a bait.
@@anthonydaskus2350 Dumbest comment EVER! Carpenter of 35 years. ANY Carpenter with some time under his belt will explain cut up to the line and sand the line to get "Consistent" results.

Ott, I’m confused. You said you send your reels out for cleaning, because you don’t have the “patience” for it. Then I see you hand making crank baits. I think you may have a little more “patience” then you let on.😎
Dude. Great video, but make a jig for that router table. You are going to need those fingers to fish those baits. Puttting on goggles and ear plugs are great but not if you are going to show people how to lose half their hand to a router bit. Please don’t try this like this at home folks. From experience, I have been building lures for decades now. That thing will jerk a bait right out of your hands and your hands right into the bit. A stick and some double sided tape is enough to keep you away from the emergency room. Be smart and be safe.
I was thinking you could make 2 jigs . One for the bottom of the bait and one for the top. Take a board about the thickness of the bait. Draw the bottom half of the bait on the edge of the board . Then cut it out . Place your bait in the opening then route. Then repeat for the top half. I’ve never tried it . But I think it would work.
As someone who does woodworking please find a better way to round the edges. Your fingers are way too close to that router bit. One false move or if that wood catches wrong it could easily take a chunk out of your fingers or hand.
If you're interested in this process, check out marlingbaits on RUclips. Great guy, super skilled and creative. I've been making custom baits for a couple year's now, all inspired by marlingbaits.

Cannot wait for this series. Definitely something I want to try. Must be so cool to catch a fish on something you built from scratch.
Checking in from White House TN. Thanks for the informative videos! Great quality btw!
Ott, thank you for this video on how to build a crank bait. I like working with wood so this should be a fun project. Be awesome to catch something on it.🐟🎣

Awesome videos Ott!!! Thanks for taking the time to show how to build a crankbait!!!
great video loving this series def learned a lot about bait making process just in this short video.

This is going to be a great series of videos! Ott, thanks for sharing!
Ott,thanks for this series.I will have some time on my hands this July.This is something I've always been interested in,looking forward to the rest of the videos.
This is so awesome OTT. The video went by so fast for me can’t wait for part 2
Nice, now I want to make my own crank baits.
Where do you get your bills and weights from
Keep them coming...very interesting
Pretty cool idea to hand build your own beats, I love to do woodworking, can’t wait to see the other videos to see how it comes out, great job Ott
Great video. Really looking forward to the next one.
From Otts garage to a Basses mouth and I can't wait to see the finish product. And should have a give away to this also would be neat.
You may be on to something!
Very cool.
Awesome video can’t wait to watch the rest of the series
Very cool . great information.

The classic is in knoxville!
Great video. Where can I get bass pro carpet decals for my boat?
The router work looks a little sketchy. Can you do it with a pusher or some other tool so your fingers aren’t so close? Wanna keep all the digits for fishing.
I was saying the same thing. That's just scary.
You want to be fully into your work in that moment
awesome, cant wait to see the rest. by the end of the third series, will the bait be finished?
How thick do you normally make your crank baits?
I know balsa is the go to wood but I've got some cedar left over from a project. Would cedar work?
Yes it does. It’s more dense so it takes less lead for the weight
Cant wait till you paint them lol

Win the Bass Master Classic and get a deal with Rapala then maybe you could correct him.

Very cool when can we expect part 2 and 3 to this series’s?
2 is Friday and 3 is next Tuesday
@@OttDeFoeFishing awesome thanks, I’ve been looking for something to do with my free time and look forward to the new challenges. Thanks
Can someone please post a link to a video for safer way to do the routing of the edges.
Ott, I’m confused. You said you send your reels out for cleaning, because you don’t have the “patience” for it. Then I see you hand making crank baits. I think you may have a little more “patience” then you let on.😎
Very good video. If you want to see a master of the combo old school/modern tools, check out Marling baits. He is a genius.
Using that router that close scares the out of me.
Can I order some handmades?

How do I donate $25 for a raw cut out to help me on my way?
You should build a jig to hold the bait when routing it.
I’ve racked my brain trying to figure out how. 🤷🏻♂️
@@OttDeFoeFishing Use a part of the scrap that is the shape of the part, put a lip on top that will hold the part down while routing.
I was thinking you could make 2 jigs . One for the bottom of the bait and one for the top. Take a board about the thickness of the bait. Draw the bottom half of the bait on the edge of the board .

That is b.a
Wish you would get with Andy Montgomery and re-create the old Carolina kill'r crankbait.

I wish I knew one!
