I’ve reached a point in life, that I think making your own stuff is better, let alone cost effective. I’ve made a few lures and fished the heck out of them, just so I could say, ‘I made it, and it catches fish’. My son got me hooked on swim baits and glide baits. He has spent $250 or more on one bait. Now he’s asking me to make some for him. Thanks for the tutorial, very informative!
Just got a ntification from your channel, i do watch lure making but never seen yours. Glad i clicked on it. Fantastic lure, wow. I tried during lockdown but got bored 😂 thank you for showing us how its done
Love it. Long videos but the people that understand the quality of product that you are making will stick around for all of it! A lot more to learn here than a ‘one day’.
You mean one of those little bait-stealing rascals? I was fishing around Rockport a while back and I couldn't get away from those things. I will put it on my list; thanks for watching!
Phenomenal! You always do an excellent job with both making the lures and doing the videos! Great descriptions and you always have great approach for all the steps along the way in the many different parts that go into making a lure! I really enjoy the way you go about doing everything objectively and figure out what works best for the situation your in. I really relate to it all being that I am the same way, anything I do I want to do it the best way I can figure out how and I am always trying to learn new and better ways while doing everything in the best way I know how. Thanks again for the time and effort you put into sharing everything you're doing and learning! Greatly appreciated!
complete techniques and supporting equipment make the lures perfect and beautiful, looks senior, the video tutorial is very good, thank you, greetings from eastern Indonesia, the outermost area of the Indonesian-autralian border
I known this is kind of random but I would love to see a shop tour or maybe you reviewing your old lures or something like that .amazing lure! Hope I can be as good as you one day!
Thanks Kyle, I have several plans for a new shop and would like to include a shop tour before and after. One day it might be cool to look back at old lures and see how far we've come. Thanks!
You are becoming one of my favorite lure making channels. Excellent craftsmanship, attention to details, new innovative ideas on how to solve problems (such as the fins in this video). The Painting vey realistic, at the end you show us a "museum quality" lure. Keep up your good work! Looking forward to see your next video.
I just discovered your channel!! WOW! That is some of the most creative, amazing and interesting creative art I've ever seen in my life! You've got me hooked!!
Haven't finished watching yet, and couldn't wait to comment. Your skills are beyond that of the average RUclipsr with the exception of only a couple others; but your artistic abilities are tops bar none!!! Great job young man. Oh crap... I would've dawned some scuba gear to retrieve that bad boy ;-)
Thank you for sharing this awesome hour with us! I've just caught 3 hours ago, my first small swimbait fish and I'm excited to make my own, this video helped me a lot 👊🏻
i am new to your videos and as a wood worker and fisherman i am VERY impressed. I know this video is two years old but i might suggest two things you may have already added. you can get a glove for your left hand that you can't cut with an exact o knife or carving chisel if you slip. i learned this in Boy Scouts from personal experience...lol, Also on your band saw make a zero-clearance piece that fits around the blade and fits in the holding slot. This will keep pieces from falling in the hole or twisting on you when making the cut. i use these on all types of saws: table, band and scroll saws. you don't need them all of the time but when doing intricate cuts it keeps you finger count around ten... Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for watching and sharing your wisdom! I have since changed my carving habits, but the band saw suggestion is a new idea for me to explore. I've not been satisfied with my saws performance, but a zero clearance might just solve a lot of my issues. Thank you!
Excellent work on those lures ! Your attention to detail and skills are amazing ! I love watching a true craftsman work. This is my first video of yours to watch and of course I had to subscribe and comment. Thanks for sharing ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
You are really good at carving and painting!! Awsome job. Yes for more larger action you can cut larger v in the lurre, but it is cool like that, prety realistic! Too bad you lost it... And yes i woul'd like to see more fishing with your lures, it is nice to see new lakes, landscapes and fishes species depending of the country the angler is from!
New to the channel, just found you. great video, thank you! I understand the time factor but as you said its nice to see your lures catch fish. wish you the best!
Hey James, welcome to the channel! It has been a struggle with timing to fish and work catches into the video. So I've been posting pictures of some of my catches on instagram @zimmtex. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Larry! This is one of my favorite lure builds. I'm trying to find time to make some more so I can fish them this winter. Thanks for watching and for your support!
Hello: Nice videos. That gauge is called a Chamfer Gauge. They're used by wood workers for marking 45 degree Chamfers on corners to be planed. Just an FYI. Dave
You are absolutely an awesome guy, dude. Am from Penang, Malaysia. I love so much watching your videos. As a hardcore angler myself, I do have a few artificial lures but never once seen something which look so so real and beautiful. I salute you for that. Hope to own one of your lures in the near future. Keep it up, bro.
I think the lipless one need to have more joint movement. Maybe like other lure makers do, sandinf the edge of the V slot on each jointed part. Awsome lure, awsome video!!!
Thanks Marcos! I know what you are talking about; I think I did that on my wooden bass glide bait build. It does give you more movement. Thanks for your support!
Right now I'm using TruCoat, but I've also had great results with East Coat Resin. Unfortunately they all scratch, but these two are easy to apply and look great.
@@zimmtex Thanks for unswer. I used Glast Cast 3.nice looks easy to work with but to much scratches.When i throw the wobbler or jerk the hooks also scratching both sides when im casting.Thats really not good.East Coast also hooks sratching when casting or this epoxy stronger? Thanks a lots
Un gran profesional tanto en el tallado del pez como en los acabados impresionantes un 10 sobre 10 Gracias por su tiempo en mostrarnos todo el proceso de fabricacion artesanal 👏👏
I recently found your channel and I love your work 🙌 you are very talented, I really love the swimming test at the end👌 I think that's really cool to be able to see clearly how the bait performs on water 😉 You earned a new sub, good job, keep going my friend, greetings.
Some outstanding craftsmanship to say the very least, plus fitting commentated instructions throughout. What else could we ask for? Can you please help me with my problem? I'm so new to painting lures, I don't have an airbrush so I'm dry rushing the lures or should I say 'i'm trying to' lol. But when I try to paint the foiled lures with a metallic acrylic paint the paint is blobbing up together very much like when paint is applied over waxed paper etc! I've thoroughly cleaned the surface with 99.9% isopropanol alcohol and allowed to dry but still getting it blobbing together. I'm not adding any medium, diluting with water or anything to the paint but can't stop it blobbing up together! Any advice would be gratefully received. The Detail Raw Umber that you use on the head look's great and a Game Changer in my opinion. Your video is superb and deserves Massive THUMBS UP ALL DAY LONG I always enjoy them thank you👍😷👍🏴
First, thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate your support! Hand painting on foil can be tricky. I'm not positive that it will work, but you might try spray painting a light clearcoat or two over the foil to give your paint something to grip to. Something like Kamar varnish might work. Another option would be to paint the 'broad strokes' like the white bottom and the green top fades with a rattle can so you can detail over that with your brush. Best of luck to you in your lure making adventures!
Love your videos I have started using a router to do some of the round over work It allows me to exactly cut a round over and not chip out I do a number of the same lure at one time quickly But I am making less detailed lures for Largemouth & Small Mouth Bass and Northern Pike here in NW Ohio Keep doing the videos as I keep learning
You need a good carving knife. And a strop , you would never use a utility knife again, but your doing a great job great video. I've used both types good carving knife is a blessing. The rotory tool is one of the best i love using them.
This is my first time watching your videos. Great detail and explanations. My only critical comment is when carving use the right tool as said above and be aware of the direction of cutting towards not just the wood but your own fingers. Might even help to set up a way to hold it with small clamps or something. I was holding my breath the whole time as you cut. I would hate to see such talent do damage to their money makers 😉 Keep up the great content!
@@zimmtex thanks for your comment. see so many different types of foil, that I don't weigh which one I should have. I've been a lurebuilder for a year now. I enjoy your beautiful videos. keep it up!!!

Thanks Chris, just tell her you are saving money by making your own fishing lures.
@@zimmtex hmmmmm, that could work lol
Very cool connection between the single parts.
Thanks for your support!
You Sir, are a true craftsman!
Many thanks to you!
I am amazed at your skill. Super job. For me watching you build the lure is more fascinating than seeing you fish with them.
Thanks Robert, your support means a lot to me!
Looks alike a real fish!! the painting work is so awesome.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Another work of art !
Thanks Tiger!

Interesting way to make the fins for the swimming. I would have never thought about the silicone
Yes, I'm really liking this method and plan on using it again. Thanks for watching!
Love it. Long videos but the people that understand the quality of product that you are making will stick around for all of it! A lot more to learn here than a ‘one day’.

What kind of wood do you use and where can I buy?
This lure was made out of poplar. I get mine from Home Depot. Best of luck on your lure making!
