Just as others have mentioned, it does need a dab of oil before you use it kzread.infoUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e - put a few drops in through the convenient screw cap and you are good to go! I have fished several weeks with a couple of these, and I will be getting more in the future. I put these against my Abu Garcia Pro Max reel, and they actually perform a bit better than the Abu with some of my lighter cranks, and definitely just as good with the rest of my lures. My Abu is a bit more low profile and fits my hand better, but these are definitely not bad at all. You can almost get 3 of these for the price of my Pro Max. My only complaint is the thumb bar sits pretty high compared to my traditional profile Abu. Bring that thumb bar down a little and I’m sold on these all day long.

My daughter asked if the bass you were catching were "Rock Bass", thats the joke from a 10 year old. Good job sir

Fun fact As a metamorphic rock, it is very resistant to heat. In fact, soapstone is often used for casting metals, such as lead, pewter and silver. It has also been used traditionally for cooking pots, pizza stones and other cookware, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, and even tobacco pipes.

I never knew soap stone came that soft. When I was a kid in the 40's kitchen sinks were made out of soap stone. Shop sinks were made out of soap stone also. I never tried but I know it was too hard to carve with a knife. I'll have to look that up.

Marlin: “this might not work, don’t get ur hopes up” five seconds later “it works get ur hopes up” Me: YAAAAAAAAY

The reason behind this lure giving you such a workout is most rocks having a very high relative weight even underwater, like metals (lead and tungsten for example), making it have much more resistance under water. You can basically go by "the faster it sinks, the harder it's going to be to reel in."

Top marling bait lines. “One day” “Bj ponds” “Chip, get out of the strawberries” “Pike!” “Be free” “It’s o-fish-ial” “Superglue and baking soda” “Work sharp” I prolly missed a lot of other lines😂

I'd watched you for a while, but when quarantine hit I decided to try too. Thanks to watching you do it dozens of times, I found I already knew a bunch of the basics. You should know the Chip bait doesn't actually swim great. You should probably move the line tie. It was really fun to make though!

You deserve to be well known, i was very engaged throughout this video, i love your funny personality:) got this in my recommended and i see why, take ad revenue, you deserve it :)

That is one of the coolest lures I've ever seen. Love the shape. So freaking unique!

Me: Can’t catch a fish to save my life. Marling Baits: Catches one on a rock.

All I wanted to hear was "It's official, bass like rocks"

Your passion is unmatched the way you said “isn’t this fun, experimenting” 10:58 is just like me when I’m mountain biking

Great Job. I always love watching your videos and have seen them all

Not watched TIL the end but the fact making a lure out of stone sounds SO cool / interesting il LOVE your vids keep going 👍👍👍👍

Legend has it that if you say "ONE DAY!!!!" 3 times into a mirror marling baits shows up and makes you into a lure...

May i just start by saying, ive been watching for the longest time, and the development youve made as a KZreadr has evolved so much, you make something like bait making such an interesting topic to watch. Your great sir please keep it up

That stone carves beautifully and what a master Mason you've become!

I have been in Thailand and have been following your channel for a while. I learned how and I raised you to be my teacher.

Dude! I got so excited when I saw this new video when you just posted one yesterday. I hope you post more frequently. Love your videos.

One day I'm going to find that pike spot. I'm going to grab some goggles. And I'm gonna become rich.

When you see him pull up with the mask you know it gonna be a serious lure

This was incredibly satisfying and nerve racking at the same time!

Men you have inspired me to start a lure business here in east Europe, Romania. Keep up the good work.

Make a soft plastic with I lip. I would like to see how this happens 😂

Not gonna lie but when he pulled out the fancy carving knife I just thought “of all times to not use the box cutter because of the replacement blades”

You are the best keep making baits. Love your channel.

The way it carves, seems like it’d make an amazing material to carve a master for silicone molds.

Yes!! the Rock bottom bait!! Or soap stone to wash out them dirty mouths of the fish!!

So I've been polishing rock with a rock tumbler and I recently bought a dremel that can cut stone and I was thinking about making a rock lure... crazy

What a great talent you have. I live around many ponds and lakes. May have found my new hobby.

That was a pretty sweet lure build! Love it!

When will you start selling fishing lures

2 videos in a week! Yes!!! Thank you

Can we take a second to appreciate the fact that Marling Baits, the king of lure making himself, is able to make a crank bait while having the hassle of recording very much everything he does all in one day. And also manages to keep his commentary detailed and entertaining enough for me not to fall asleep. What a legend.👍

I’ve carved soap stone many times but never thought about a lure lol I’ve made cups silverware cooking pans it makes great knife handles!

I can’t believe it only took 2 hours to make that? Amazing! That is one awesome looking bait! Very cool. Thanks for the video!

I loved the ending! I also just finished a lure (lipless crankbait w/ a spinner no weight). I made it watching your last video where you were wondering if someone was making a bait with you :). I hope moving has gone well!
