- In this video I make a popper lure specifically for fishing the Florida flats and I add a little something extra to call the fish.

Another great build Franko. Thank you for sharing your recipe for the Polyacrylic mid coat. It is more than greatly appreciated.
My pleasure!
Same here. I get all the steps right and then the final clear is buggin me. I'm goin to try a mid coat this weekend! Thanks alot!
Thanks for explaining the Polycrylic...on how you prep it
You bet
Thanks Franco,
The idea of a simple rattler made by a straw is excellent, I learned it thanks to you. It fails sometime in a resin casted lure, it happens often, at list to me, that it doesn't work, the sphere, probabbly cause the straw soft plastic, it doesn't move. Only in cast resin lures I use a rigid straw made in brass.
Thanks 🙏 so much for your excellent job, you nail it again!
I haven't that issue with the plastic straws I use.
I anderstood why, sometime, the straw it doesn't work, once resin is casted, I use to put my mold inside a pressure pot. I suspect that, cause the pressure, air pump in, the straw that is not completely rigid sometime is "crashed", steel balls are not allowed to move. When I don't use the pressure pot straw is working always fine
That guy holding the underwater camera must be out of air by now 😂
😅
Hey, remember those old sticker dart guns? The were a spring, a catch and a plunger-shaped "dart" with a shaft and suction cup. So what if you had a spring-loaded popper face? When you popped it the front cup would compress the spring. Then the cup would spring back and kind of double-pop the lure.
I do the opposite after watching Matt Stephen talk about his poppers so I have been weighting the tails and tying hair on the back hook so it sits more vertically and it amazes me that sometimes the fish will come up and grab the tail hook and pull it under like a bobber. I can fish about 10 minutes per cast now without all the long pauses. It'll pop and move about 3 to 6 inches if you want to fish slow
...and again caught some new ideas which I will test as soon as possible in my workshop. Thank you !
At the 3 mins mark i already know this is gonna be a great build
Thank you.
So true about cedar. I am working on ten 2-piece swimbaits and have had chip-outs several times.
Man, I'll bet that popper shows up on your local doppler!
Hey Franco, great video once again.
Hello from Maine, Kevin
Hey, thanks!
Love the video
I just got back from bass fishing 10 PM-4 AM
I like your design for a popper
But at night I use a plain Black popper
But I think a Bullfrog paint would work well during the day
I’d love to see a video on making a sinking stick bait for saltwater!! for the type of fishing i do in Sydney Australia I would really like to make one I just don’t know what to use to make it sink! Love the video!!!
Great suggestion!
I like to use a appropriate size glass bead in place of the nail head. Another great video. I really appreciate your content.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thought of a video that others might like.How deep should a wire harness be inside a bait before its rips out? Have a couple baits with harnesses at diffrent depths. Have a force gauge tied to a hook hanger and rip them out.
Awesome lure! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Will do!
i tried brushing on Polycrylic on top of airbrush paint. You will need to make sure the paint is thoroughly dry and use a soft brush. A stiff brush could rub the paint on. It seems spraying on would be better. I need to try it.
Love the paint job you gave that. Great looking lure
Thanks 👍
this is awesome man! just found your channel and im graduating with a degree im ocean engineering this year. im a big fisherman and also started making lures over the past year! About to take my FE exam!
Good luck....FE material isn't too bad but the fatigue factor with such a long test can get you.
Good job Franco
WOW!!! You really are a very talented man.
Thank you very much!
Great video and great looking lure
Thanks 👍
Great channel...!! Question, have you ever thought of replacing the treble hooks with inline hooks? Thanks for posting.
Yes I have but when I have the hook up rate goes down.
Nice colors!
Thank you! Cheers!
Why not use a metal tube for the rattle chamber? It might be cool to put an empty shell case from a rifle in there for the chamber, and you'd only need to close one end.
Splash 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
A while back you made a J plug but an issue with your boat prevented a video of the lure in action did you ever post a video?
Not yet but I did get some footage. Keep an eye out for a short.
👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Franco, another sweet build! I have a question for you, i was making a new mold the other day and i forgot to divot the clay so i did not have a key to align the 2 halves. Of course i figured this other when preparing for the 2nd half. How would you address that situation? What i did in the end was only vaseline 1/2 the mold, but I'm not sure i'm happy with it as its difficult to get the internals properly positioned. But i just made a handful of harnesses so we'll see if i can learn to live with it.
I had included this in a video a while back...I created divots using a thin tube with the edge sharpened by digging out little cylinders in the face of the first half of the mold. You can use the eraser end of a pencil by taking out the eraser. Good question. Thank you.
@@EngineeredAngler Cool, i appropriate it.
Where do you get your polycrylic for $11? Everywhere I look it's $26. I got mine for $26.
Very cool lures brotha 👍. I just started airbrushing my own lures 3 weeks ago and I'm having so much fun. Thanks for the vid 👍
It probably was $11 when he bought it 3 years ago. Thanks bidenomics!
Damn...its been awhile since I bought any...the price has doubled.
Great job, have you ever made a lure out of pvc board
Yes I have
@@EngineeredAngler I just watched 2 of your videos using pvc board right after I asked. You do a great job
I bought silicon lure. Has a very strong "chemical odor". How to get rid of it? I really like watching your channel. Thank you.
Sorry I don't know.
Can i request dive popper please, franco version is the best absolutly 😊
I have a question about a crankbait sorry but what would cause the bait to roll when you burn it Thanks and I enjoy your videos they made me want to try to build my own
Misaligned bib is the most likely answer.
@@EngineeredAngler I’m sorry but I’m new to this what is a bib
@@user-tl1bk1ok3c bib refers to a lip which gives an action of a lure. Unless you made lipless crankbait 😀Then you again need #EngineeredAngler to answer it to you.
@@goran79kt would that not be called a bill
Do you not add weight for CG?
No need on this one...
toothy predators beware
Very cool. What about adding a feathered treble to the back?
I like that idea....might do it for the saltwater trip
