Great video Mikko. I really enjoyed it. The lure looks amazing as usual. I'm glad to see that you are finding time to make these videos. I'm sure you are busy with the new job. I appreciate you taking the time to make videos like this. I look forward to seeing the next one brother. I have a suggestion for you, would you consider making a golden dorado or another saltwater 🦈? Maybe a hammerhead or a tiger shark?
If you were to use a corn cob holder to try to hold those little pieces of paper while tracing, you may find it easier to place. This work is amazing. Makes me want to try it out. Awesome job.
I've been a sub for about a year. Thanks for the content, you are a very talented carver and painter. Your patience is amazing. A suggestion if I may, to make handling the small stencils easier is to cut the stencil as you did, but use the whole stencil holding the large piece on the body then cutting and marking the parts one by one. This might also help to keep the details perfectly aligned. I'm a retired carpenter, an artist and carver of many years. I have always had difficulty marking the face details symmetrically side to side so I usually free hand them. I'm going to start using a stencil to try to get better face details like you always have.
I have not watched one of your videos in a while. Great build and I am always astonished at the realism of your carving and painting. You mentioned that you favor the epoxy you are currently using. Have you tried any UV resin yet? You can cure it in minutes and continue working.
What an amazing crankbait, Mikko, not only in its superb looks and craftsmanship (as always) but also in its swimming performance. I have to think that with that wiggle, it would be a killer on virtually any gamefish species. Speaking of which, does your job not leave you any time for the fishing you loved so much back in Scandanavia? Or, are there simply no productive waters near your new home in Canada? It would do my heart (and yours?) good to see you putting your lures through their paces in ponds, lakes, and rivers. All the best, Chris
The thing is i dont really like filming fishing and also i dont have a small enough camera that i would want to bring with. Thanks for checking out the video
Great build as always! Thanks! I am really interested in what your take on a realistic spoon lure would be. Something in the lines of the sebile onduspoon, zazaa pike or rapala minnow spoon.
Thank you maestro!!! Big dub i have it'a about the internal wire. When i try to make lure and make some resistenve prouve the wire deform and sometimes exit from the lure. I think it'a Better bind It or weld It. What you think about? Sorry for my primitive english.... 😶
if that happens you are not using strong enough glue. that being said if your fishing in the ocean some of those fish probably are strong enough to pull the wire however strong of a glue you use. in those cases you might be better off wrapping the wire or even weld it.
That's a very beautiful bait! I have appreciation for the more traditional ways you use while making your bait's and it's very cool to watch thanks for sharing! Can you do a jointed deep diving crank?
Very nice .... You might want to try changing the weight distribution of the lure just like you showed on your glide baits. Some have kept the weight in the front of lure so that when you stop cranking the lure it swims or shimmies downward. What that lure can do on the drop or fall can be very important.
Very cool. Curious, why don't you work backwards on the gill plate templates. Start from the largest one, then remove each in turn from your pattern? It would be easier to hold at least.
Absolutely stunning, how long has it taken you to get this good? What I can't understand is that all of the delicate painstakingly intricate carving is all leveled out by the epoxy!
Woooooooooah, I bet you could do it with your eye's closed after 25+ years! But it obviously shows in your outstanding craftsmanship. Thank you for replying and take care til next time my friend 👍😷👍🏴
Great build!! I once attempet to make a wooden lure with a chatterbait blade for pike. But all xl , like a body of 16cm and the blade made out of plexiglass fitting the size of the body. The idea was good but I made a mistake with the blade. I think the linety was too high on the blade. Maybe an idea for you play with? Chatterbait xl
Always a pleasure watching the master at work, going to try some of these myself. nice job bud. why did you leave Finland. did Rapala ask you to leave because you was putting them out of business? ha ha.
Usually i use stainless spring steel. I usually just go by what i think i might catch on a particular lure and have a educated guess what diameter might work the best.
Well done! I just want to say that i love the ”tempo” in your videos. It makes them very relaxing, interesting and simply awsome. What sort of 2 part epoxy do you use for topcoat?
Hello! It is always very interesting to watch your videos! I'm wondering, what do you then send with baits, you probably have a lot of them? Maybe you sell? Doing for sale?
Insane as usual! Wish I could buy about everyone you do! How did you make your rotating dry rack? I’m just getting everything to start learning wood, band saw, sander, etc. But using auto clear to dry and need to make a rotating dry rack. Any input on how to make one or do you have a vid on it? Thanks bro
Enjoyed this but I'm not doing anymore details carving since I split my index finger knuckle wide open. It was stupid ugly like a big gushing mouth so now I'm too afraid of the blade. Actually I wasn't even carving but trying to split a piece of bamboo. Stupidity is painful.
@@SolarfallBaits oh great I was hoping there wasn't any beef between u cuz ur technically rivals in the YT bait making industry, but that's awesome that u respect him like that
@@tykornblue3618 there is no rivalry, he does it for a living, i do it for fun so i have no real need to to compete with views and such, i just like to poke fun at his fans not him personally.
It's a little too thick, the lipless gets bit by using a fast vibration, the thicker they are the less vibration thus the less fish. Although you may have something the fish haven't seen before and catch tons. There are no right or wrongs I reckon
I think I mentioned in the video that I used mystery wood and was not sure what it was. You want to use harder and heavier wood for a lure like this because there will be less weight you need to offset and make it sink.

Hope you enjoy the video, what should i make next?
Maybe some topwater lure. Haven't seen you do that. A popper or something like that.
Maybe a spinbate for a big pike?
Whatever you make ill be here to watch it!👍
perhaps some spybaiting lures 😍🤘🏾
A piranha!
The amount of effort you put into your baits is unreal! Always a fascinating watch. Keep up the awesome work 🎣
One of the best looking lures I have seen. Awesome job. God bless!
Terve from Florida! Enjoy watching your videos and watching a true artist at work.
Thanks, Mikko. Always enjoy your videos.
one cannot go fishing with such a work of art; rather it is collectible. still very good.
That is the world's most incredible lipless crankbait!!! Awesome work 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I always liked woodworking and wish I had room for all the equipment! Nice video, thanks for sharing.
It's official... Your videos are better than marling baits as far as teaching is concerned. Thanks for the step by step tutorial style.
Next to all other things, that was an excellent carving and painting work. It looks great.
Great job, plays well on even wiring!
Tell me what kind of airbrush model you use?
Wow, You are a true ARTIST!!!! Greeting from The Netherlands.

I haven't heard much good things about uv resins so I haven't really used them much
@@SolarfallBaits it is very durable. I use it….but the smell is terrible. I am too impatient for epoxy…lol

@@SolarfallBaits Don't even think about filming. Just go fishing, and enjoy your surroundings, experience, and lures.
Wow, perfection! Congrats 😍
Fantastic as always Mikko! Thanks for sharing your methods.

Great build as always! Thanks!

Have you tried super glue and baking soda to fill the holes, it hardens instant and is very durable
Very very cool work man!!! appreciate you sharing with us 🤙🎣🤜🤛

Wooow already new video!!!🔥💪🏽👏🏽🎣
Maybe you can make some wobblers with spiner in the middle section/part that will rotates while retriveing the line.
Incredible! Love your work and videos, glad to see you are back.
Another great video, awesome details.

I'm following your creations, you are a champion. I would love to know what wood you use?
THAT IS AMAZING! it looks super great!
Can't wait to finish work and watch this....
So do you have PTTSCSD? As in Post Traumatic Trout Scale Carving Disorder?
How did you know? 😂
Absolutely stunning, how long has it taken you to get this good? What I can't understand is that all of the delicate painstakingly intricate carving is all leveled out by the epoxy!

@SolarBaits What wire are you using for your lures ? How do you figure out what diameter you need ? Amazing work like allways !!
Usually i use stainless spring steel. I usually just go by what i think i might catch on a particular lure and have a educated guess what diameter might work the best.
@@SolarfallBaits Thanks mate !
So awesome to see a video up!
Well done! I just want to say that i love the ”tempo” in your videos. It makes them very relaxing, interesting and simply awsome.
What sort of 2 part epoxy do you use for topcoat?
I use true coat epoxy
@@SolarfallBaits alternative for us still in Europe :-) ?
@@goran79kt im pretty sure true coat ships to europe too
Hello! It is always very interesting to watch your videos! I'm wondering, what do you then send with baits, you probably have a lot of them? Maybe you sell? Doing for sale?
I do sell the lures i make sometimes on ebay
Love my mystery wood 😂 looks mint mate 👌
hi there mate. Great work you're doing and awesome detail on the hand carving and airbrushing.
What brand of Bondo do you use?
The one i use is just branded and sold as bondo which i assume is the original brand name.

Very cool build. How about a hybrid bait, don't think I've seen you make one before?
Can you make small than this one?
I love it,
Great work as always

great video ; question ; how do you make the lead bar or the mold to make theme ,thank you ,merci à vous .
Its just 2 pieces of hardwood that i clamp together and drill a hole in between them.
thats an awesome lure! I have a question for you, most of the time that I use truecoat it comes out sticky 50% of the time, do you know why? Thanks
That usually happens when you dont mix them in the right ratio. Refer to the instructions to make sure you are measuring them correctly.
Hey man how is it going in Canada?
Ive always wanted to go there, is it like home country a bit?
Greetings from The Aland Islands (Ahvenanmaan)
There are some small differences but nothing too big, it has been pretty easy to integrate to this society.
Beautiful bait, as always.
Any tips on making the eyes straight without a press? I can't drill straight to save my life
Drill a pilot hole first and then use a forstner or a bradpoint drill bit to drill the eye sockets.
What part of Finland did you live before coming to Canada. My grandparents are from Alahärmä
I'm from North karelia
Pretty slick! I know a couple places to use that, not loose it!
Bro I would love to see you make a wopper plopper!
How do you clean your brushes after applying epoxi?
I Just whipe them clean and rinse with several times with acetone
To nie przynęta, to dzieło sztuki. (It's not lure, it's a work of art.)
Good job solar bait

Beautiful!
Beautiful masterpiece!

Das that looks great!
Nice job well done
i would like to see you make a big rubber swimbait! :D been thinking about making one myself. but i need to see a pro do it first! xD
Looks awesome!
What? No baking soda and superglue. Outrageous! Amazing work though.
Awesome bait!
nice and detailed bait! could You also share the lure templates when You make them? Greetings!
Those scales though :O
NICE WORK
True Coat resin..... where can it be purchased?
From the internet.

Hi, what wood do you use?
Like I said in the video it's a mystery even for me.
It's a little too thick, the lipless gets bit by using a fast vibration, the thicker they are the less vibration thus the less fish. Although you may have something the fish haven't seen before and catch tons. There are no right or wrongs I reckon
You might be right, i dont really have alot of expeience in these types of lures yet.
what kind of wood did you use and can i use any wood?
I think I mentioned in the video that I used mystery wood and was not sure what it was. You want to use harder and heavier wood for a lure like this because there will be less weight you need to offset and make it sink.
@@SolarfallBaits ik im sorry i forgot about you saying that. ok so pine wouldn't be good would it?
@@jaegochaloux8788 yeah pine is a bit too boyent. Perhaps cherry, maple or oak might be decent
