OOPS! I absentmindedly referred to material I used as both Lexan and Plexiglass (sorry) and I should have cleared it up in the video (sorry again).The truth is I bought the material at a recycle center (someone had just dropped off several small new sheets) so I can't be certain if it's Plexiglass (acrylic) or Lexan (polycarbonate). But, it cuts and drills like Lexan, not as brittle not as hard as Plexiglass. Oh, and I know this is a bit weird but, it smells like polycarbonate when you cut and drill it. My best guess; Lexan.
Watch out there’s a scammer with a fake account that has your logo targeting people who comment on your videos. Here’s a link ruclips.net/channel/UCpwga91KC5dOAWfp-g4JOyA.
Even though is clear that you didn't like the aesthetic of the lure, for what I can see in the video this one is a winner performance wise, swings well and jerks fine, also sinks enough for those 5' to 10' areas if necessary, definitely one of my favorites so far. Great job Ingeniero!!!
Thank you, I hope you don't get bored with this type lure because I have a million ideas 😉
Awesome build Franco! I love the spider's interruption and subsequent symbols. FYI you can pick up pic frames at goodwill made from plex glass
Thanks for the tip!
Wow That's like a Ghost shad very nice Action
Big fan of these last two lures. As someone else said below, try some holographic foil in the centre.
The action is where it's at, and this one has it. You nailed this one Franco, and I disagree, I like how it looks!
I agree! Looks very good.
Thank you
Call that one the “Strobe Light”! Thing flashes like Elton John!
The action seems better on this one, plus the flash is very noticeable. Nice job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
That has nice fall action, probably need a joint for better swim action but really nice work as always. Catching fish on your own crafted lure is something special and no matter what comments you get, you know you're on to something!
You're spot on... thanks.
Love the action and flash. I’d be tempted to try a version with holographic foil between the center layers
I've loved these last two lures. As much as I'm a wood lure guy I'm itching to try a plexy one like you've made. The layered approach makes your imagination possibilities flow. Thanks so much Franco.
Go for it, I've only scratched the surface of possibilities.
That's a lure I would have great confidence in! Looks awesome!
Thanks 👍
wow, awesome roll when sinking!!! Great job!!!!
Thanks
Would love to see that design in a lipless crank bait style. Cool lure!
That would be cool!
Great action! Glad you didn’t lose this one.
Me too!
Make another one with the fish skeleton on the inside. As usual, awesome video!
Best action yet! The flutter on the way down is awesome, great action on retrieve, make a dozen of these!
Holy moly that thing has some action! Great ideea and great execution!
It looks like it would make a killer jointed swimbait... great job!
🤔
Really nice lure.
Make a mold for two halves. And mold with uv resin. Glue the halves together using uv again.
You made a Perfect slot for a Rattle and didn't put beads in it. O.o
Would have made it a Little heavier, but probably sinking faster then. Love the science explanation on your videos! Can't have the tools you have, but it really helps in planning my lures!
Another great lure Franco! The bent back shape of the lure works really well for action on deep divers too 👌
Man, that action was such an improvement over the first attempt!
This has a sweet action, that spastics shimmers really nicely, great thinking with that air pocket too, great job 👌😂
Thanks 😁
Great idea! I have all the supplies to give this a try!
Go for it!
Great video and amazing lure
Action is spot on!!! Both on steady retrieve and twitching
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks good, shame about losing last week's build as it caught well. The air pocket slows the sink rate as you say in your blog. If a larger air pocket was made in the lure would it slow the sink rate even more or have no affect. Think it would look good in silver. Final if I carefully, with the drimmell, and made the mouth and gill plates stand out would it unbalance the lure. Many thanks as always, look forward to Friday's and your videos. Really enjoyed the fishing part last week so would you consider, every now and again take us fishing with you. Glad to see I'm not the only one who catches stuff when fishing.
Yes, a larger air pocket will slow the sink rate more. Any engraved details will dissappear when you glue the pieces together. Thanks for the questions.
Maybe just shade the gills to get rid of the flatting effect you mention. It would give it more detail even, amazing work Franco..!!
That underwater shot was so nice to watch, i love the shimmer effect you got. The air pocket is a good approach to builds with high specific weight materials.
What would happen if you put weight at the botton of the lure in addition to the air pocket at the top? Maybe increasing the air pocket volume to keep roughly the same density. Would it worsen the lure swim action?
very nice bait and the action great
Thank you Paul...it's very gratifying coming from someone with your talents.
Great lure I only wish you would have fished with it on camera. But yet another great looking lure . Thanks I learned a lot .
Next time!
The transparency and reflections that the lure transmits in the water is magnificent. I congratulate you for sharing your pation.
Thank you very much!
Looks great, I especially like the action on a straight retrieve. Hope you do a video of you testing it in the gulf.
Idk I kinda enjoyed the squirrel fishing at the end.😁
New lures are magneticly attracted to trees.
Nice looking lure, have a great weekend
Thanks
Wow that turned out amazing Franco ! Thanks sir, have a great weekend.
Looks like a winner, maybe an opportunity to toss a couple bb into the top for an added rattle if you ever wanted to go further with the idea!
Amazing 👍🏻
Wow! Great action! and I love the flash it gives off! Reminds me of shad or mullet in a frenzied bait ball and catching those glimpses of flash here and there!
One of the best lure ideas I’ve seen you create. It’s got a great performance..!!
I would do a whole series of these 3D gems man..! Great job Franco..!
These 3D lures open up a whole lot of possibilities.. paint jobs, chambers, rattles, skeletons even hahah.. Congrats 👏🏼
That's the plan!
Even if it’s not what you intended, the lure is awesome. Great action and shimmies and flashes on the fall just like a stunned shad or pogy.
Using plexi glass is iteresting
Dude you're killing me over here. I don't own a band saw or scroll saw or a sander or an airbrush. It's tough enough cutting and shaping 2mm sheet acrylic for my bibs. I know I should just forget about this lure but who am I fooling. This one is definitely going to test my creativity. TFT
It can all be done with hand tools and lots of patience...go for it.
This channel never lets down and is always amazing!! Thanks for all your hard work.
Wow, thank you!
Didnt think the paint woud hold to the plexi glass
Beautiful work 💪🏻
Thanks
Amazing
I believe if you use a propane torch and gently heat the sanded area’s it will make the plastic clear up🤙🤙🤙
A clear coat is easier....and safer.
Coud u put acrylic mirror onthe sides woud like to see that
Very cool. The technique should work on a laminated wood lure too. The 3D effect would be lost, but the action may be interesting. Nice t(h)ree pounder there at the end. The outages are just as much fun as the videos. Thanks.
Something about new lures and tree limbs....
Franco,
Any chance you can do a video where you as an engineer explain the different types of fishing swivels, their advantages and disadvantages, what they do, how they do it, etc? It will be a superior addition to all the marketing mantra mystery Kung Fu talk being parroted on webpages and in catalogs...thanks!
"Mystery kung-fu"🤣
Wow! I absolutely love the look, and swimming action of this lure!
And the interior paint on the clear plastic lexan is just about perfect for what I'm about to ask of you...
I'm not sure if you have the glass minnow down there in Florida that we have here, but if you do, this lure is super close to the look of it! So if you do actually have the glass minnow down there, do you think you can try to replicate it in one of these clear body style lures? Perhaps more streamlined than what you just did? I'm sure the paint job of getting the "look" of a glass minnow will be tough, but I think you could pull it off!
Yes we have glass minnows too and I'm planning to make one....thank you.
@@EngineeredAngler I will be looking forward to it!
really great job. love this lure. would love to have one of these with a pearch or pike design for my own tackle box 😃
keep going, i enjoy your videos very much 🙂👍
greetings from germany
Excelent job,congratulations
Thank you
Show de bola esta isca artificial artesanal meus parabéns.
Just had a brain wave ive thought about the silver from chips packet's. OOP'S 😬
Just a minor suggestion, if “I may”. First, I didn’t come up with this idea.
Using a very shiny aluminum plate, inside the body that’s bit tight on the bottom of the plate and very loose on top. The plate flipping side to side, using available light reflecting off the aluminum plate. Flicking look making lure to look alive.
Now, if I messed up in my description, let know. I will do my best to clarify. I own two bass lures, with this idea from China. Like, they do with Americans. Why reinvent the wheel! Just COPY, most of all enjoy.
Thanks
I would love to see an example. Would you link some pictures?
Yes I have seen that used. I am experimenting with a fluid filled chamber with suspended metal flecks, should look amazing.
@@EngineeredAngler sounds like you have a better idea. Cannot wait to see your lure.
@@pepsithebunny2404 trying to post a picture. Do you have email
what would happen if, instead of just leaving an air pocket, you added some kind high density foam?
The foam would just add weight and block the light.
@@EngineeredAngler ooh well that makes sense
U mean to say u didnt put any weight in that lure?
greetings from Indonesia...special.. 👍
Hello 👋
In the last build you mentioned using Plexiglass, then referred to it as Lexan. These are very different products and I found out the hard way... lost a few lips. This video has in its title "Plexiglass", but I didn't hear any reference to either. Would you mind telling me which material you used to make these lures? If you used Plexiglass and it works well, it would be a perfect opportunity to use what I have laying around. I have both, if it even matters, if I decide to give this a go. Thanks so much! I also have Ghost Tint paints and transparent paints, so this is very doable.
OK that's a good catch. I absentmindedly referred to it as both Lexan and Plexiglass (sorry) and I should have cleared it up in the video (sorry again).The truth is I bought the material at a recycle center (someone had just dropped off several small new sheets) so I can't be certain if it's Plexiglass (acrylic) or Lexan (polycarbonate). But, it cuts and drills like Lexan, not as brittle not as hard as Plexiglass. Oh, and I know this is a bit weird but, it smells like polycarbonate when you cut and drill it. My best guess is Lexan.
I was thinking with all the resin, that one might still be able to use Plexiglass because it would help reinforce it, but polycarbonate is always a better choice. I had some acrylic given to me early on in my lure making days and was told specifically that it was poly, much to my dismay. Thanks so much for the clarification!
Lexan is much harder than plexi glass
Excellent video, nice action. I think you are too critical of your work; the lure has plenty of flash and movement
Really nice action
Thank you... the look is growing on me.
New sub here! I want to make one of these lures.
Thanks for the sub!
Wow! I’m going to make one immediately! Is that 1/4” lexan?
It is 1/8 inch lexan...go for it.
@@EngineeredAngler your work is amazing. I started carving and painting my own lures after watching your videos. It’s so rewarding when you make a lure from nothing then go catch big bass on them. Just hurts a lot more when you lose one of the lures that takes many hours to make. Thanks for your great content!
Make one in a deep diver please
I plan to do more transparent lures...some larger stuff to troll.
@@EngineeredAngler thank you
Do you think you could use plastic chopping board instead of the plexi
If the board is transparent...it might work.
give me one please sir..
mantappp
What r u stickin it with
Uv resin
very nice and very good action (can you tell me how thick your plexiglass is..mfG.kucki👌
0.125 inch
Huh, interesting. I have only ever used 1D and 2D lures. Hmmm wonder if ill start catching 3 dimensional fish now these 2 dimensional fish don't fill the stomach that much
You should worry when I start making lures in the 4th dimension....
You make some nice lures that is definite, but this one is awesome! My favorite so far.
Glad you like them!
