"I LOVE IT"!!! pure genius. Amazing to watch the work, you put in to your lures.

The display in patience carving the scales is crazy. Incredible bait and finish. Well done

Good work man

This is awesome. Maybe you could consider doing a video on how to get started with making your own baits. I am interested but have no clue where to start without looking at the tools you use and trying to look them up at the hardware store. Maybe start by considering what you think you need to spend at a minimum and use that as a budget. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next one.

If you mount the jigsaw upside down with the blade sticking up through the table, you might make your life a lot easier for future baits. It's almost like having a small bandsaw. Not quite, but almost.

When making the molds make a secondary "breathing" hole for air to escape when pouring the resin

@SolarfallBaits

It really depends on the orientation of the casted piece (and its shape) in the mold or the molds orientation when you pour if such a hole is nesasary. Usually its a good idea but the way i pour these its not needed.

Outstanding! Chinese rice sculpture is nothing compare to your patience carving those scales! I am making my own lures so I know. Mine are very small, gliders around 1 and a half inch long. The one piece work just fine, but I can't proper balance the 2 piece gliders. Is some rule that have to be followed regarding the spots where you place the weights? That "S" movement of your trout is just crazy.Thank you!

For the scales have you tried the mesh netting commonly used for airbrushing scales? You could apply it with an adhesive and not have to carve out all those scales. Amazing work!

Hi. Great videos you make. Keep up the production of the very informative work. I make some sea trout baits like sandeels and herring. It is for coastal fishing for sea trout mostly. I'm looking for some good materials for lure making, so where do you buy the stuff ? I tried the CS2 silicone, but it is quickly worn out when you make a number of baits.

So good to see the mold process! What an amazing lure! was there no need for weights due to the ratio you mix in the casting process? is it just the hooks that keep it upright then?

hey man Last question:))) when it comes to the form cast burro, have you had any issues with water damage to the baits? the bait i"m making will not be sealed off the same way you did with an outer epoxy coating and i'm wondering any damage might occur to the bait due to water exposure like maybe bloating/swelling or even water absorbtion. Also, how does the durability/ hardness of the bait compare to mass produced hard baits like the plastic used on rapala crankbaits. Is it softer? If so is there something more comparable to mass produced baits you would recommend. Thanks!

Damn, that’s impressive. I can barely carve a few simple face details. What do you do with the original wood carvings on these high detail baits?
