This is insane, Mikko. I somehow knew this couldn't come out of a cutting plotter, yet I couldn't believe my eyes when I was watching you cutting every single scale by hand. Outstanding work 👏🏻

Stencil.. Stenchil..stensel..Sir with skills like that you call it whatever the heck you want. Thank you for dispensing your knowledge.

Mate watching you carve and paint your lure creations is nothing short of amazing you've got yourself real talent I've watched this clip along with others many times, the realism in your painting skills brings your lures to life so realistic. Brilliant work keep up your fantastic work

Awesome lesson Mikko. The lure master strikes again. The lure turned out beautifully as always. Keep up the awesome work. I look forward to your next one.

Beautiful work Mikko that really looks great .

That freehand stencil is amazing good job keep up the good work

Excellent process and final product! I learned a lot, thank you very much for the tutorial!

So I've been building lures for a few years now learning Lots from different builders must say you are the master I hope to be able to compete with greats like you one day

WOW! Amazing Pedantic Work!

Crazy awesome work man! So impressed! 👊

Wow man u did a incredible job

Wow! I hope people that watch your videos appreciate the level of skill it takes to accomplish results like yours. I have pretty good skills and teach Indstrial Technology for a living, my students often say "you make it looks so easy" I guess now I can relate 😀

Very nice and detailed work on the scale stencil. I have done some similar work on the dragonfly’s wings using a 3D printer. I think this would be a good application for a 3D printer too.

Amazing as usual! I may actually give this a try.

Legend!...as usual. Thanks Mikko.

You know I got much love for you, and you've showed me so much, but there's no way I'm ever doing this. You are a saint for your level of patience.

It honestly doesent take that long to do, you should give it a try. The first one is always the hardest but once you've done a couple it becomes easier.

hats off to you mate, thats alot of time and effort you put in. looks amazing 👌👊

Wow! Fantastic 🤙

Nice idea. I bought "netted oranges" to use as a stencil. Works great!

With love from Japan🇯🇵 This work is very difficult or convenient because it can be used many times👍 I am also making a big lure by referring to your video now❗

Your freehand airbrushing is superb.

That’s gotta be one of the best scale patterns I’ve seen. doesn’t look like mesh netting

Amazing looking lure but Insane amount of work in it , I think that would stay on my display shelves, to nice to fish with.

Forget this crap no way! I’m going to use my wife’s bath loofa

Beautiful lures, but for some time I have discovered that in some fishing spots the metal parts (those related to the line and treble hooks) act almost as a repellent for fish

Very nice

Muito espectacular, um autêntico mestre.

They make a half round corner punch leather cutting tool that might work well for cutting out the scale holes. It might require a bit of modification but it should speed up the process for you.

Awesome 😉

That scale work reminds me so much of some of the old Pawpaw plugs I have that I like so much Still fishing the Pawpaws and catching fish ... some of them are 70-80 years old I think

Beautiful work as always Mikko! A timely video for me... I'm just getting into lure making and was thinking about stencils. I like how you reinforced the paper with packing tape but that would still leave the cut edges exposed to moisture. Do you think that there would be any benefit to treating the whole paper (or maybe just the exposed edges) with something (like Minwax Polycrylic) to fortify and waterproof to paper?

@SolarfallBaits

Sure You could probably water proof the paper with something before putting on the tape.

Figured this was really the only way to get a symmetrical and good looking stencil

I'm in awe! My work looks like a kindergarten project compared to yours. Can I ask what brand of airbrush you use. You seem to get so much colour with each pass. I have to water down the paint so much to get it out of the airbrush I get almost no coverage. Also do you adjust the pressure and needle size when doing the fine work such as the fins?

I use iwata highline and iwata custom micron. I do usually limit the amount that the needle can move when I do some precision work but that's not the case here.

I just watched the pine bark and bird feather clip. Very creative and beautiful results. I enjoyed watching the fishing part of it just as much. A bit different from the salmon fishing we do on British Columbia’s west coast. If you’re ever in this part of the world come and stay. We’ve got a piece of paradise here. I’ll take you out. I fish almost every day during salmon season.

I admire your work. Each of your baits are unique and beautiful pieces of art but you use simple things like paper and packing tape that everyone has to achieve these results. Really inspired by your work. I’m curious how many uses you would get out of that stencil?

Having fished multiple s in different sizes and colors, kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 this is by far my favorite. One thing to be aware of is the sided willow blade. One side is silver and the other is the green/orange shown. This is not bad, just unconventional. In terms of fishing, I have found the lure works just fine without a tail like a craw or shad. That addition is up to you. Also, the hook part where you attach the swivel snap or tie the line is a problem on baits these days, since it's able to slide up and down. However this lure seems to be tight enough that that doesn't happen often, and you can solve it by putting a thin slice of medical tube over the hook before attaching the line. Like others have said, it's really magic on a good windy day.

How did you happen upon making lures for entertainment/ cash?
