Dude!! I am so grateful I saw this!! I started airbrushing baits for fun during covid. I want to eventually develop my own glide bait line as I’m on disability after beating 2 cancers so I need something to keep me busy during the winter months! This was a huge help! Love the modeling clay idea as I don’t have a clue how to work w wood! But I thought I’d have to figure it out! Now I can do it this way, develop my lure and then maybe do a wood version when it’s time to mass produce. Thanks for this!! It made a huge difference to me!! Appreciate ya jj

Awesome! Gonna try my hand in making some swim baits. Thanks for the tutorial!!

I like your swimbait building technique, good stuff. 👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

I like the idea how fast the process you have made it!

Finally! 👍👍 great stuff

As he makes the tail, I imagine him saying "I don't got time for bills" great action with the lure, well done

Amazing work !! Thanks for showing us!!

Absolutely Awesome video thanks for the tips.

Excellent tutorial... thanks for the tips

Been looking for a video on how to make a resin bait and damn I gotta get into this. Thanks bro.

this is such a brilliant idea. i’ve been considering making my own baits, but couldn’t afford to go out and buy all of the tools i’d need to do all of the wood working. I never considered making a resin bait. I feel like making a resin bait offers you *easier* options for adding rotating hook hangers and shit like that. not to mention i’ve been wanting a gill style glide, and I don’t really care for most of the ones on the market, and the ones I do like are either $100+ or never available, or both. so this is definitely an awesome option. and it helps i’ve got a hobby lobby pretty close to me. thanks for posting this video man. edit: have you ever made any soft baits? i’ve got an idea on what I want, I just have no idea how to go about making it. lol. edit2: if you want more precise paint, you can buy different caps for different types of spray paint. you can get thin caps, fat caps, and stencil caps that offer a really precise spray. just something to think about.

Thanks for this 😊

Great video !!!

Excellent!

Awesome Bud!

Great Video bro! Really nice

Hands sodwn thought you were just going to do a silicone or plastics pour without weights in these baits very detailed video good explanation for the process

awesome job

Great looking baits brother. God bless!

I love this video. People complicate shit too much. I want to make these and I don’t even fish as much as I should!

Thank you.

How many times making the mold did it take you until you got it right? Thanks for the cool info

wow, very nice

How did you split the bait?? Pretty important part left out for a glide bait.

Do you treat the holes left in the mold from the wires that were holding the master? Didn't see you address those. Maybe the resin doesn't escape through them?

Nice video. I ain’t got time for that crap either. Cuts into my fishing time! Tight lines..

thank you bro u awesome

I like the video doesnt seem to complicated so once u have a mold u can use that mold over and over again i take it what do u think it cost u to make the first one totall $

Awesome video Struggling to get my lures weighted/balanced. Guess I should make one with no weight first, then play around with weights and locations with tape Then drill holes in bottom patch with water weld. Then on subsequent lures I can use sinkers on toothpicks to place them where they need to go inside the bait while resin cures Made mine with feathered treble tail-didn’t have time to make a separate tail.

If your close on weight just add wire to your hook to get it suspend the way you want.......same with crankbaits also

This video was great! If you make another video can you focus a little more the weighting process please! Again, great video !

I'm wondering. Do those bailing wire holes affect anything?

I’m wanting to make my own swim and glide baits do you have anymore videos on this same subject. I hope I can make them as easy as you made it look. Great job.!!!!

Yes, it's in a playlist on my channel. You can also check out our bait making group- BIG BAIT Addicts

What resin are you using to cast the actual bait and do you put the screw eyes/pin and hook placement in the master mold before using the resin? Thanks in advance!

What size ss screw eyes did you use for reference?

what wire did you use to keep the 2 pieces together? The one that runs through the 2 screw eyes

nice. should use a paint brush or horse hair for tail?

How are you cutting the clay? Just what tool. Il figure the rest out lol

Ok, so I was watching a swim bait making tutorial, then someone (you) referenced it "differently", yeah that swim bait just isn't the same! But thanks for the great tutorial on making swim bait!

Is there any way I could buy these from you? They look amazing and I could save some money on big glide baits

So the white stuff is resin. I wanna do that bro i have the aluminte silicone. But the white is the resin right an thats all houll need right?

Should be simple enough…I mean not to sound blunt, but seems pretty easy to me. Probably just glued in an image of an eye to the cavity any made a half sphere of clear resin, and super glued or uv resined that on top of the picture in the cavity. As for cutting the body in half like that I’m not sure though 🧐.

You do a very good step-by-step instructional video but you missed a step on video of how it is that you cut your mold in half your master mode the Sculpey mold can you please make a video on how it is that you separate the two halves of the master mode

IMO you don’t want stainless in the joint, when the connection starts to rust a little and it starts to squeak 👌

A stainless steel metal rod. You can find them at a hardware store

On a 55/45 front then rear hinges bait; Do you typically only add weight to the front main body on a hinged bait? Or the rear tail section also?

Everyone here who's interested in making eyes with household items I invented a way that is very easy and fast: buy a pack of clear thumbtacks cut the handle of the thumbtack off and keep the tip paint the broken stick part whatever color you want the eye to be bore out holes in each side of fishing lure and glue the Thumbtack heads with pupille inside of fish do this after painting clear over the eyes and it will have a in-depth effect that actually comes out looking realistic
