I've seen that particular swim pattern all too many times in my aquarium when fish have grown old and dying! This must be attractive to other fish in the area because they always attack the ill fish! Your lure could be a winner in my eyes. One thing is for sure 'You're never beaten', another great fascinating and educational video '... BIG THUMB'S UP.
To prevent the leaking you can also make an individual fluid chamber separately, and ensure you've completely sealed the fluid in before installing into a slot that you've then shaped within the lure body to the exact dimensions in order to cleanly receive that fluid chamber that you fabricated separately.
Glad to see you only had minimal damage from the storm. The build is a great concept for a lure design with the 3d effect. I’m wondering if some foil in the 4th layer will give it some flash as a fish attractor. There is always mistakes in perfecting new concepts. Keeps the challenges in the videos, keeps it real.
Thanks
Hey Franco. Love the lure design here. Great concept. I was thinking while watching, you still have a chance to make the dye and oil work before going with the BBs. My thought was similar to what you mentioned. Cut and shape all six pieces including the cavity, paint the interior pieces, resin all six pieces together and drill a hole to the empty cavity before putting on the turner to set. I think you need to completely build the bait with the hole into the chamber and paint it, plugging the hole to the chamber to keep the paint out (thinking maybe using a little cotton from swab), Polyacrylic and resin coat the lure a couple of coats. After everything is complete, open your hole and insert the oil and dye and seal the hole. My only concern is the plugging material and what to use to be able to get it out. The hole will need to breathe up to the end of the project I think. Just some thoughts. Very curious to what you decide. Love to see you figure this one out. Great idea.
Nice lure. The copper scales look great. As you put in the bb's I was thinking make them red and 2 or 3 different sizes. And I think you should keep showing the failures. That's how we all learn isn't it. Hope you try it again.
Thank you for the input.
I hope to see this lure finished the way it was intended. It was going to be so unique that I can't wait for you to finished.
These lexan lures are really special. Once that gets mastered, onto blow molding! I would watch that!
This is an awesome lure idea. Glad you can be humble and show your failures and figure out how to still make something out of it.
I appreciate that!
Hey Franco, I have to be honest I'm not a big fan of music in videos but I concede that the music you have during the milling is pretty darned good for royalty free background. Well done with that, good choices right there. Sorry, the noise you add during the underwater test well not so much a fan there. I probably would have gone with 4 layers but the 5 turned out pretty nicely I probably would have realized too late that with 4 layers the screw eyes would be right in the glue joint "weak joint"... Don't feel bad about shaking the die with a loose cap I call a day like that a Tuesday, it's the kind of stupid crap I do on a regular basis. I would call that lure a great learning experience. Experience is what you get when you didn't get what you wanted. Love your channel please keep up the good work, they're very entertaining and well done!
Thank you so much for the encouragement.
Nice job! Can't wait to see the next video when you try that idea again!
Thank you! Cheers!
It's only a fail, if you didn't learn anything. Just another reason why this channel is on the top of my list, you showed this.
Great video ++
I’ve been using that paint for 3 years now! Absolutely fantastic stuff for every purpose of airbrushing. Thank you again for the video! Great lure!!
I love the new idea. It didn't work this time, but it will. Thanks for staying true and showing us how it worked out.
I'll get it to work...
Your videos are great. Enjoy and learning alot.
I appreciate that!
You could make an extremely tiny hole and use a syringe to inject the fluid and if you wanted to you could even have a thin rubber port so you can remove or add liquid to change buoyancy and color.
I love your experimental work. Step by step to the final result.
Thank you.
I recently found your chanel and I really enjoy your content. Please don't give up on this concept, I think it's very promising.
Don't worry I tend to be obsessive...
first of all... for a first effort...AWESOME! how about making the chamber longer... allowing for an air pocket for balancing the lure... then adding fine glitter to the oil... then the coloured water... glitter lava lamp... maybe even to the water... maybe even do 5 pieces of lexan w/ the middle piece being thicker... create the chamber... fill ... then the outer 2 can b added... shaped... pulled apart again... now you can have 3 sides per side to layer paint... assemble then put 2-3 clear coats...
Your video certainly has gotten the creative juices flowing!
Lots of possibilities...
Very creative Franco. In the saltwater it will work
Hi Franco, thank you for your very nice video and a very nice lure. I might recommend you, for your next attempt of this kind of lure, to use glycerin and water colored with liquid food additives. Also, fill 75% of chamber to overcome heating on UV lamp and liquid dilatation / pressure (being a narrow cavity and tall will act as capillary under Bernoulli effect). I will consider increasing the weight of lead ballast to compensate lower density of glycerin + air "gap". But, as always, after the war, plenty of heroes appear 😉! Best regards from Romania !
What about gluing it with clear epoxy, then you don't need the UV light and subsequent heat. I actually like that it rolls on it's side a bit, when did you ever see a dying baitfish that stays perfectly upright?
When I get my basement finished and get back to making lures I'm going to have to try one of these lexan lures. Those look so cool.
You should!
This is absolutely awesome!!! I’ll probably give it a shot before spring. Don’t feel bad for wearing the dye! It would happen to me too
Good luck and thanks.
When you learn (we learn) and that is not a mistake, thanks for sharing!
You bet!
I love the design and you inspired me to build something similar thank you Franco
Have fun!
Great work as always, kind of reminds me of the Sebile Ghost Minnow series that were filled with liquid and glitter.
Same thing I thought…
I think a plexiglass crawfish would be cool. I started making lures aswell but I don't think I could do the one out off plexiglass
I don't think of mistakes as "fails" but rather as "discoveries" of what NOT to do 😉 After all, the exercise, positive or negative is still experience and knowledge that is good to have. Thank you for including them!
I'm surprised how easy you could split the glue joint. But then, the surfaces were very smooth and "contaminated" with paint; might have been the paint/lexan interface that failed. When making kayaks I never sand the wood with finer than 80 grit to give the resin something to grip. You might want to try scuffing the lexan before painting/gluing.
Curious, is there a reason you don't use a pair of alignment pins for registration in your multi-layer lures?
The bond between two painted but not sanded pieces is amazingly good if not contaminated with oil. But I sanded the two haves before regluing them at the end. And I will probably sand the two middle pieces from now on.
You could use thinner lexan for the outer layers.
In my estimation,, another great build!
And I wouldn't consider an initial attempt at something new a "failure"! It's only a failure if you don't learn anything and quit. To learn and continue is called experience!
Is this a preview of the glass minnow lure?
As someone else mentioned. Using a two part epoxy that is not UV activated is more than likely a solution. I would try a slow cure like system 3. It will take a long time to cure but the faster curing stuff ie. 5 minute, tend to yellow fairly quickly. It's an interesting idea and what you wound up with will likely produce.
Really like this lure! and welcome back! Glad the storm damage was not that bad and you all are safe! Could you make the fluid chamber separate and glue it in after to avoid that in the future?
A premade fluid chamber is a good idea but a complicated one. Thanks for the input.
I really like the action… it really looks like a struggling fish and an east snack
Stripers & blues are moving down right now to southern end of nj, send it to me ill get it bit🤣
Excellent bro, u so genius 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Instead of red blobs in fluid, what about a few plastic beads put in the same way as those BBs?
You might try red bb's in the chamber, I like the idea.....
Definitely easier to remove excess material than not have enough
Great idea with the fluid inside and would possibly make the lure move stable. Could you not drill a small hole into the cavity put the fluid in, then plug up and re-coat it to make it totally waterproof. I never see it as a failure but a learning curve and as the under water footage showed it was like a dying fish and would certainly catch. Whilst making a comment Is just like to say I try not to use treble hooks, instead two separate books tied together with the barbs crushed. If I do use treble then again I crush the barbs which make unhooking easier and less damaging to the fish. I still have the same success rate but feel it's kinder to the fish.
I think those practices are a good idea and knowing we can't depend on barbs makes better anglers. Cheers
It actually looks like a dying minnow in how it swims. Good hob
Hey Franco, can you do a video with glow in the dark paint or a way to make a bait glow after clear coat. I’m trying to paint some lures for ice fishing but can’t seem to get them to glow. Even explain how companies get a lure to have UV and glow?!
I like that idea...
GOOD JOB
Thanks
I love this luer 👍🎣 it's beautiful
Glad you like it!
@@EngineeredAngler hello my dear friend yes I loved the luers because I like your idea of the blood inside the bait you are an amazing fishing bait maker you are a big inspiration to me I would love to make my own soft plastic baits and hard baits and my own bait caster reels with cerebral palsy awareness
interesante esa accion de pez herido !
Cool idea. Drill a hole in the belly, dump out the bb's and add your liquid like you mentioned. I think it will still work.
That's the plan.
Maybe not what you planned but a good result nonetheless. Was that the repurpose project in Gainesville where you got the lexane? My wife and I love that place!
Yes that is exactly where I got the lexan and lots of other stuff.
How cool would it be to have a internal moving flash plate running the length of the lure
Looks like a sick or wounded fish, I am pretty certain that it will catch fish.
i really like the concept of this build. What is the thought behind using the alcohol? Is that just to work best with the dye you had? I would think a less volatile compound and something less likely to dissolve the resin would likely work better. I'm also curious about the oil. In my experience coconut oil will be solid at room temperature (below 76 or so). Is this a different sort of coconut oil?? I really like this one, I've been trying to think of a way to get a similar effect to cause the lure to continue to flash as it suspends
Yes the alcohol was just for the dye but I'll be switching to water...
Why not paint the bb's redish - kind of split between original idea and new idea.
Could you use glycerin in place of the oil?
Go fishing with one rod and just that bait.I think you can prove it successful!
Looks like a wounded Bait fish
SLICK !!
Franco can you tell me how you thin your Polycrylic for airbrushing please.
Thin with 15% distilled water by volume.
@@EngineeredAngler Thank you so much. 🙂
Real life, must to make mistakes for learn, its good to show this mistakes to motivate the people, dificult to make well in first attemp
Thanks.
Looking to make my wood lures out of hedge have you done the math to make them sink
What is hedge?
@@EngineeredAngler Osage orange..very hard and tough
First 👍🏼
16:03 You may have cut your finger!
Na, just red dye.
Очень интересно, спасибо.
Приятного смотреть на роботу профи.
