This video shows me making a wooden Perch swimbait. FISH WITH YOUR MASTERPIECE LURE MAKING COURSE: www.marlingbai... WEBSITE: www.marlingbait... INSTAGRAM: / marlingbaits
I've been watching you since almost the beginning. And you absolutely killed this lure. But it's crazy to come back and watch this older video and see how much your carving has improved. I'd LOVE to see you redo this lure super with silicone and resin fins.
I just watched this video again myself. Everything has improved so much. You don't notice the changes as time goes on, but when you come back and watch the older videos again, you really see his progress. I thought he was good when this video was made. Now he's that much better.
Fish that taste like fish... hilarious observation. If we were like the Japanese you would be a national treasure. Awsome display of impeccable skill. Thanks.
I keep pushing for perch lures in your videos,not realizing you made some beauties in past videos I missed! As a youngster,I caught 3"-5" perch for bait for muskie fishing.Now , perch lures are "confidence baits" I use often. Great job!
Каждая работа-шедевральна!!! Спасибо за такой кропотливый труд!!! Невероятно красиво! Каждая рыба как живая! Желаю здоровья на долгие годы изготовления таких прекрасных приманок!!!
Wow, what a work of art. I saw only one problem with the build.....all the hard work and incredible detail that lure absolutely deserved a mold for reproductions. Great work.
Absolutely fantastic! So realistic! You are really a master artist. The lack of talking was very interesting. I liked it but only for once in a while. I'm not sure if I would have liked it if I hadn't watched almost all of your other videos. Thank you so much!
Absolutely love swim baits. I think they mimic the real thing better than any other bait, and I like the way you can feel them. Any change in the feel, set the hook!
I’ve watched all your videos at least twice each , some many more. You got me started trying this . Any way this perch , is my favorite. So much detail , you make everything look so easy. I do know it is not. And This was 5 years ago . I am on my second try , attempting to duplicate this perch. Just want to say thanks for gettin this old guy excited about doing something again . I did catch a Sunny on my first bait. Sunnies like Fred’s baits 😂
As I'm sitting here welling up in tears of appreciation, watching the painstaking carving and working right through that bloody knuckle, then the way chip looks up at you when you pet him sent the tears down my face LOL, I agree with others, your personality is great when you commentate on the newer videos. You're an amazing artist, thank you for the videos.
You have a lot of patience my friend, you do what you do very well, I saw the bait on your website! Wow talk about true craftsmanship. Glad to see the art of "handmade" in America still lives! You have an old soul.
yes it makes sense, but there is one thing - you never know if they would work, in this videos we can see how it plays but we have never seen how they attract fish
I also enjoy Metallica... Slayer, Pantera, Hendrix, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, NWA, Wheeler Walker Jr, Hank 3.... basically everything except for radio pop cuntry music...
MrMcBonkers I make my own lures to and it is probably one of the worst parts of fishing when you lose a lure you made... but nothing beats catching a fish on a handmade lure
Captivating podcast you’re listening to, “when’s it ok to say Eskimo” and “the bear ate so much fish it tasted like fish”, what sort of conversation leads to that? And why to I kinda want to listen to the podcast?
Wonderful job as always. I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks for posting these builds. I struggled with the glass cabochons eyes rocking and rolling while trying to dot them. Found a great use for double sided tape. Place double sided tape on a piece of wood. Stick eyes lens side down to tape and no more scooting eyes. the tape leaves no residue on the lens.
personally perch are my favorite fish, no clue why I just love the colors on the ones by me. im in wisconsin so they are really orange and pot bellyed.
A little Rogan..so Chip doesn't get too bored. Nice. (guess I'm one of those guys who comments observations now) ..Saving up for a strawberry Chip shirt!
Have been waiting for ever! Finally a good full length video on swimbaits!! Just one little thing: you have painted the black stripes on top of the fins.
Hi nice job on the bait a i have never used a jerk bait in my 60 years of fishing but last week was my first time, There was a lot of fresh water did not expect to catch anything but wow what a supersize first cast i got a 6 lb pike and every other cast i got pike from 6 lb to 15 lb i was surprised and now my favorite bait is a jerk bait. So thank you from Ireland
I have a bunch of Japanese tackle of all flavors but after seeing your work those you-know-the-ones from the land of sushi look like they were carved by a toddler at twice the price. Just wow.
I'm going back through old videos and my guess is this is when he realized he could just glue his entire template to a block of wood, and then cut it out. You don't see too many scissors in newer videos :)
Best swim bait I have ever seen that paint job is great and the carving you put into that. I don't even have words to describe how great that swim bait is. I can't imagine how many hours you put into that. Did it ever catch any fish. great job.
In the opening seconds, he invests more time and skill of the average old master into his art, a hand made likeness of a perch, then actually casts it into fishable water and really could have hooked up a fish, or destroyed the lure, an investment of hundreds of hours right there on the spot on a rocky riverbed. I repeat, hundreds of hours were likely involved to produce this exceptional fishing lure. And what about all the years of prior attempts it took him to get to this point. What are the other lessons here. What is the determination about. And aren't we all a little bit like him, and wouldn't we largely attempt the same seemingly impossible things, if we had the time and a space. Or maybe we do, and we are not pushing ourselves, maybe we cannot do it all, but what is it we could do now with what we have?
I'll bet its kinda hard to cut that fish in half with a band saw. Paint brushes are erasers, too. To do this, you must first be the excellent artist you are. Nice lookin pearch. Bring it up to Ft. Peck and I'll introduce you to a northern pike as long as your leg that wants to bite that piece of wood. :)
You must have so many hand and finger injuries, I noticed some blood went into making this one. Not only skilled at the carving stage but they are a work of art also.
+1 for the Led Zeppelin in the background. +100 for the sculpting and attention to detail. You need to get some baits posted on your website so I can go into debt.
Have you considered the effect of making your swim baits a 4-5 section swim bait and only outing weight in the head of the swim bait allowing the other 3 or 4 sections to have more action. I would also think curing the tail out and outing it on a swivel would look amazing and add a whole lot of action to the tail end aswell just some food for though!
Marling Baits oooooo my bad ... really sorry i did not saw this parts :/ really want to apologize on my mistake. Its a great great job that you've done :) congratz from france :)
I love watching your videos, man! Just wanted to say that I really enjoy your work and you are great at what you do. Keep up the good work, man! I think you deserve even more followers than you already have. The time, hard work, and attention to detail really shines through in the finished product.
Nice job on the line my friend was wondering why it was big and I told him about ur shark lure that u made and I told him u caught a big small mouth off of it
You know, sometimes I turn on your videos just for an hour of the endless, nonsense ramblings of a quirky dude doing the things he is so passionate about. I don’t even watch the video it’s your voice I like to listen to. We get it. You’re a master baiter, but without your commentary, all we have left is... the bait.
I've been watching you since almost the beginning. And you absolutely killed this lure. But it's crazy to come back and watch this older video and see how much your carving has improved. I'd LOVE to see you redo this lure super with silicone and resin fins.

Hey when did u start talking in vids as this is a good one but your personality in later vids shines and makes them even better
I couldn't have said it any better my self.👌😁😊
Fish that taste like fish... hilarious observation.
If we were like the Japanese you would be a national treasure.
Awsome display of impeccable skill.
Thanks.
I would buy these to frame as a signed work of art for my office! Such beautiful craftsmanship!
I keep pushing for perch lures in your videos,not realizing you made some beauties in past videos I missed! As a youngster,I caught 3"-5" perch for bait for muskie fishing.Now , perch lures are "confidence baits" I use often. Great job!
Us watching this 4 years later
😂
To me this thing is a work of art . I would never cast something this well built masterpiece . nicely done.
Каждая работа-шедевральна!!!
Спасибо за такой кропотливый труд!!! Невероятно красиво! Каждая рыба как живая! Желаю здоровья на долгие годы изготовления таких прекрасных приманок!!!
Wow, what a work of art. I saw only one problem with the build.....all the hard work and incredible detail that lure absolutely deserved a mold for reproductions.
Great work.
your videos are so much bettter when you talk mate!!
I agree
Agree
100%
I am 13 and go fishing a lot all I need now is one of your lures love the vids keep makeing them
Good taste in music! Love SRV reminds me of my father. Plus Jamey Johnson that's my mother's favorite.
One of my favorites you've ever done. I'd like to see you remake it now with your skillset. See the comparison.
Nice work! You put a lot of time in that with all the details! That perch is a work of art!
That paint job is INSANELY GOOD !
Thank you!
Marling Baits no porg video???

me starting the video: "so it's just going to be a perch"
me by 26:03 : "it's art and nobody can say different!"
I’ve watched all your videos at least twice each , some many more. You got me started trying this . Any way this perch , is my favorite. So much detail , you make everything look so easy. I do know it is not. And This was 5 years ago . I am on my second try , attempting to duplicate this perch.
Just want to say thanks for gettin this old guy excited about doing something again .
I did catch a Sunny on my first bait. Sunnies like Fred’s baits 😂
Some day you should try to make like a Bass Sculpture, for display, i think it would turn out very good.
this one was so peaceful at the end.. great video
As I'm sitting here welling up in tears of appreciation, watching the painstaking carving and working right through that bloody knuckle, then the way chip looks up at you when you pet him sent the tears down my face LOL, I agree with others, your personality is great when you commentate on the newer videos.

lol.
Can you please do a full blooper reel? Just an entire video of hilarious stuff. That would be awesome.
You my friend are the Bob Villa of lure craft, with skills like that you should be set for life. Thanks for the videos.
Heey i am from the netherlands and watch alot of your vids. You inspired me to start making my own baits. Thank you for that.
Hallo mede Nederlander hoe gaat het
Well, this work looking really special, because of high difficulty in creating this type of lure at home. Bravo!
You have a lot of patience my friend, you do what you do very well, I saw the bait on your website! Wow talk about true craftsmanship. Glad to see the art of "handmade" in America still lives! You have an old soul.
Thank you Chris!
Great craftsmanship! Also props for Bloodborne music.
Now I understand why hand crafted baits cost so much! Subscribed!
yes it makes sense, but there is one thing - you never know if they would work, in this videos we can see how it plays but we have never seen how they attract fish
Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these baits we truly don’t deserve you.
yes we do.....
That's more realistic than any other bait out on the market! 👏
7:20 I hear the metallica in the background... love it!
Gordon Lightfoot and Johnny Cash is what I'm hearing.
There was some Himi Jendrix in the mix also...
@@girthbrooks1740 We've all got an ear for what we enjoy. I just happen to be a metalhead 🤘
I also enjoy Metallica... Slayer, Pantera, Hendrix, Johnny Cash, David Allan Coe, NWA, Wheeler Walker Jr, Hank 3.... basically everything except for radio pop cuntry music...
@@girthbrooks1740 Pantera is incredible, you've got great taste. Rock on man 🤘
I couldn't imagine spending that much time on a lure. Id worry about snagging and snapping the line in the first ten minutes of using it.
MrMcBonkers I make my own lures to and it is probably one of the worst parts of fishing when you lose a lure you made... but nothing beats catching a fish on a handmade lure
He has since lost many lures like that.
Same...I'd just end up having a lot of incredible-looking lure decor in my home.
Or stwwwwiimmm
(Anyone let me know if you get my reference)
I proudly own, fish, and catch on 2 of your plugs!!! Absolute works of art.
Awesome to hear! Thank you
Wish I knew where to find them!!
Captivating podcast you’re listening to, “when’s it ok to say Eskimo” and “the bear ate so much fish it tasted like fish”, what sort of conversation leads to that? And why to I kinda want to listen to the podcast?
leetlebob joe Rohan and Demi warren lol
MeatEater podcast.
It’s so beautiful and so well made. The paint is amazing! I would be so scared to loose it in the water! 😱👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Works of ART man...beautiful work!!
Paint job amazing at the end , beautiful natural finish 👍
This lure is my favorite you have made.
Wonderful job as always. I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks for posting these builds. I struggled with the glass cabochons eyes rocking and rolling while trying to dot them. Found a great use for double sided tape. Place double sided tape on a piece of wood. Stick eyes lens side down to tape and no more scooting eyes. the tape leaves no residue on the lens.
Thank you! super good idea. Those little cabochons can be buggers!
Love your video's and the fact you're listening to Johnny Cash in this one, awesome.
personally perch are my favorite fish, no clue why I just love the colors on the ones by me. im in wisconsin so they are really orange and pot bellyed.
A true work of art, almost to beautiful to fish with I'd be afraid to lose or damage it. Beautiful work!
The best channel of lure making
The handmade fischerman is also verry good

You do great work. You're a true Craftsman. Love the passion.
A little Rogan..so Chip doesn't get too bored. Nice. (guess I'm one of those guys who comments observations now) ..Saving up for a strawberry Chip shirt!
You are a true artist. I just love the detail on your perch bait. I know you can do a bass slamming baby bluegill or sunfish.
One of the best lure I've ever seen. ..beautiful job. .!
Look up Stinnett sticks maybe his carving techniques can help you save some time
That perch is pure amazing.
The paint and clear coat are superb.
Not gonna lie, I'd be super paranoid incase I got a crack off 1st chuck with it
Amazing workmanship!
Love your videos and hope that you will continue with these.
A true artist with a great taste in music. Great shit
that is stunning, my type of ART
Never thought id hear a Bloodborne song in a lure making video. Nice!!
timestamp?
nvm found it, hunters dream music
You are soooooo talkative in this video!
WOW!!!! that is a work of art buddy
Have been waiting for ever! Finally a good full length video on swimbaits!! Just one little thing: you have painted the black stripes on top of the fins.
Happy to have ended your waiting!
He really went all out on that carving. That looks like a lot of work.
Hi nice job on the bait a i have never used a jerk bait in my 60 years of fishing but last week was my first time, There was a lot of fresh water did not expect to catch anything but wow what a supersize first cast i got a 6 lb pike and every other cast i got pike from 6 lb to 15 lb i was surprised and now my favorite bait is a jerk bait.

I have a bunch of Japanese tackle of all flavors but after seeing your work those you-know-the-ones from the land of sushi look like they were carved by a toddler at twice the price. Just wow.
Hey just a little tip, if I were you I would put the base coat paint on a lot lighter so it doesn’t ruin all those nice carved details as much
I'm going back through old videos and my guess is this is when he realized he could just glue his entire template to a block of wood, and then cut it out. You don't see too many scissors in newer videos :)
Impressive work! Nice job on the music playlist as well!
Best swim bait I have ever seen that paint job is great and the carving you put into that. I don't even have words to describe how great that swim bait is. I can't imagine how many hours you put into that. Did it ever catch any fish. great job.
3:15 i love that he was making an porg from star wars
Hey. Your hands are golden. Super 👍🏻
Exquisite craftsmanship!.... not sure if I could cast it out though!... I guess I could display this work of art on the wall or mantel! :))
On my detail carving I use a really thing box cutter (the one with the break away blades) and it is the best thing I have found for those details

Man, that would make a killer musky bait
Bro....that is the most legit looking perch swimbait I've ever seen. You need to go walley fishing in lake Erie with it.
No it looks like zander.
You have no idea how long i've been waiting for u to make a vid
What could be better than listening to Metallica while making fishing Lures!! 🤘🏼👍🏼
Johnny Cash through the whole video !!! Awesome
Surprisingly relaxing. New sub here. Very good attention to detail. Oh and Johnny Cash sounds funny when you fast forward.
Very pretty, it looks better than a lot of JDM swimbait
Very cool lead melter. First time I’ve ever seen one.
I'll bet its kinda hard to cut that fish in half with a band saw. Paint brushes are erasers, too. To do this, you must first be the excellent artist you are. Nice lookin pearch. Bring it up to Ft.

More More More keep the videos coming I love to watch your skill in making these swimbaits many thanks UK fan
Thank you! Working on another swimbait right now!
You must have so many hand and finger injuries, I noticed some blood went into making this one. Not only skilled at the carving stage but they are a work of art also.
Your videos have come a long way man. Still dig the classics tho,
Love watching you make art!
You've just been promoted from legendary to god status on the lure builders list .
do you know any other lure builders? not an attack just want to see some more content and techniques
@@henrybetts530 Solar baits is the best

With no Paint,it sea's like a little Zander👌that'sis maybe e super Idea.you are so kreativ!it's insane🤣🙏
Love your work dude, I'm addicted to your channel! Also my idea for a bait is a baby bird bait. Like one that fell from the nest right out the shell!
It's pity that we don't see any painting stuff in your videos but your are a really good crafter anyway. Good job.
Thanks! The painting in this video is towards the end.
Marling Baits oooooo my bad ... really sorry i did not saw this parts :/ really want to apologize on my mistake. Its a great great job that you've done :) congratz from france :)
No problem at all, thank you very much!
Your insane with it that’s dopeee

I watched the whole thing waiting for you to talk! Would have been nice, but even longer😂.
On to the next bait.
I love this swimbait! I am going to atempt to make it myself!😬
There are some massive perch in Okanagan Lake in southern BC. Caught several in the 2-3lb range. They get a huge humped back when they are that big.
That action is crazy, love it! 👍
Beautiful as always. The wide tail fin slightly limits work.
I admire and greet.
Thank you!
That was awesome.I enjoyed every minute of it
Thank you!
Nice job on the line my friend was wondering why it was big and I told him about ur shark lure that u made and I told him u caught a big small mouth off of it
Wayne Slusser this is the perch video not the shark
Nice work on not burning the wood with the band saw
Man , this is so good !!! Good job !!!
it's a work of art

exactly right.... he is great to listen to while sleeping! seriously some people just have that gift!
Functional art is fun.
Man you need to get into taxidermy big big money in that and you definitely got the skills
