I've been watching Marling Baits for years now, and Nate still catches me off my guard. "Hello, I have inflamed bronchial tubes". Lol. Get better soon.

Great job love it

WOAH, not going to lie, that is some of the most serious action I've ever seen from a bait. Some of your best work!!! That bait is going to catch you MONSTERS in the spring! Can't wait to see when you make this baby OMEGA-fishal. Cheers and Tight Lines! Happy New Year Nate!

The shape of this one (fiber optics or not) it has a fullness to it that makes it look amazing. All of your baits are excellent but that one does it for me…. Thanks for the years of content

yeahthats a whole snack

Woo first video of another o-fishal year

Beautiful work would love to see you do some salt water lure work with a single wire leader going threw the center of the lure attaching all hardware..

That Shad is wicked. First time watching, you have me hooked. World class bait.

Hey Nate I bought some UV resin for random projects and I gota say that stuff is excellent. I've used it in place of super glue to glue stone to wood in a quick repair job as well as fixing plastic items here and there. Thanks for introducing me to chinese UV resin so many years ago. 😂

Let's go the first bait of the year and I hope you make a Wells catfish soft plastic

I am actually making one

I swear i look forward to every video

I’ve watched you for about five years now and you’ve been a master at lure making. This is your best yet from movement to paint.

MORE GIMMICKS during these winter dark days! I love it! Fun facts too next time for fiber optics

I might try slice the middle of the fiber and place in something that looks suspended in the dot. Maybe a small marble or something. Beautiful bait like always and thank you for the video.

That sanding wheel satisfaction activates my asmr brain tingle thing every time. 🤤😌

That worked amazingly well.

Wow!! I REALLY like that bait!!!

Get well soon and have a happy New Year!

Awesome bait. Beautiful paint!

An absolute beautiful bait with some crazy action on it

Happy new year, Love your videos!!!🎉🎉🎉

I’ve been wanting to do something like this for so long!!! Ahh! Awesome to see this.

I think I'm in love, that is a beautiful bait, hope we get to see it get used.

Happy new years, the paint scheme is amazing.

Happy new year MB! Big fan of your channel! Wishing you the best with the new year.

16:37 That is sharp, clear definition. Clear coat will nicely top that off. 😊

That is an amazing looking and swimming bait....congrats!

Been subbed for years. And this might top them all. Simple yet going to be extremely effective. I feel a PB coming with this one

The action on that is amazing.

20:04 , What the guy in the radios said, fits perfect :]

I love this one man. Beautiful work as always. Gotta be one of the most realistic shad baits I've seen in a long time.

Happy New Year Nate! And get well soon.

happy new year Nate and hope you have a speedy recivery

That is a fantastic build!

Cool idea and killer bait. I was thinking that the fiber optic tubing going vertical through the bait might be another idea to try out

I was thinking the same thing. It would flash the sides if it had access from the top.

Absolute epic build! Can’t wait to see it in action in warmer weather!

I have a lot of catching up to do. You're awesome. I love your creations.

Amazing work of art as always

I love the paint scheme!!!

Your work is utterly brilliant, ever single bait is a work of art.

Happy New Year! Hope you are feeling better soon. Nice action & style. The pool was a great touch 🤟🇨🇦

Happy new year's 💙👍🏼🎣 always enjoying seeing your fishing lure making videos wow that is a fast swim bait

Excellent idea, so much Ofishal potential! Can't hardly wait to see it perform. Thank you for all you do.

I think you should put some reflective flake in the the glue you use to adhere to fiber optic filament inside the bait. That way you don't have to put paint over the end of it and dull its brightness, but you will still get whatever color you want it to be through the reflective flake.

Acrylic tube, no stuff on the outside. Works with sheets of acrylic too, the edges carry the light, the faces act as mirrors facing each other inwards. Works with glass too!

Top bait your a very skilled man. Hope your feeling better soon

Crazy good action! That Optic Shad is gonna slay

Your baits are a work of art.

That's definitely one of my favorites.

Man it’s like u r practicing to get ready to make an awesome lighting bug lure n I can’t wait!!!! Happy new year!!

This is awesome, I’m going now to sign up! Thanks much for sharing!

Wow that action is incredible! Well done.

So there are multiple types of fiber optic filaments. The idea is that any light that gets inside is reflected off the side walls of the tube but the outside is typically translucent so they can accumulate light down the length of the fiber optic. Think of it like a pipe made of one-way mirror material. They're often used in firearm optics bent in a U shape with the external portion of the fiber optic accumulating light and it is then emitted towards the shooter for the sights. I think this could be absolutely killer on a cigar top water bait. Run a thin fiber optic along the dorsal then through the body so that light is emitted near the attachment points of the hooks at the rear and the belly. It's always fun to add new materials to projects you're used to!

Looks great Nate. Happy belated New Year buddy

it's done superbly❤❤❤

Excellent job I dare say it may be perfect.

Happy New Year to you and your family, Marling! 😊

Wow. What a shad bait. Amazing! 👍

Insane bait, can’t wait to see some catches

I like the fiber optic idea. Maybe try a swipe of a few dozen of the 1/16 size fiber down the side to make a light shimmer.

That’s a gorgeous bait ❤

Nice job Bro. Beautiful bait.

Para começar o ano bem assistindo seus vídeos e que esse ano seja melhor que os outros para todos os seus seguidores e para toda sua família 🙏

underwater viewing/filming portal in your test tank??? love the optic shad!

I’m newer to the channel and the work you do is absolutely impressive! It might be cool to make a few like aquarium fish baits like an Oscar or some type of cichlid. Lots of cool colors on those guys.

Master Artist, top of your game on this build! Nice work Nate.

Omg that bait is what dreams are made of 🔥🔥🔥

love the way the eye came out

Happy New year! 🎉

You make the realistic baits,like WOW!

Happy New Year man. Nice lure as always. 😊

I've watched nearly every video you have posted on here and this may be my favorite bait of them all! Sick concept, INSANE action. I'm excited to see what it will look like with light paint over the fiberoptics in the future! Happy New Year to you and the family!

Future lure build idea….X-RAY FISH lipless crankbait using clear casting resin. The composition is perfect for it. Guts can be the poured lead and painted for detail. Through wire the body and it can act as the spine. Would be a cool build to watch.

Awesome lure as usual

You are the king of glide baits/large swimming baits, man. Beautiful work

15:18 Man that fiberoptic cable is neat.

I hope your tubes feel better soon !

Happy New Year!!

Posted 37 seconds ago. This is the fastest I've ever seen one of your videos. Definitely going to check out your course.

Much joy to you and family 🙏🙏👍🎉😊

Sick layering paint work on that jointed Shad cranker👍🏻

Setting the bar pretty high for 2024! Watching the movement of this lure in the water was just incredible! You’re a master perfecting your art Nate. Keep it up

I've watched you for years and thats the best action from a bait I've ever seen I think. Amazing man

Looks like a little fish trying to get away from the big fish. Very nice.

Cool. I actually did a fiber optic tutorial on tackle underground years ago. Very nice work.

Happy New Year🥂What an amazing looking bait👌would love to see it catch a monster

That should be your go-to way to make the eyes. so much life reflected in them that way. Hope you're feeling much better by now.

Man I'm going through that throat crap too! Gorgeous bait. Clever fiber optic trick I might have to try as well! Worth looking into that's for sure.

Amazing work, keep it up

Another great masterpiece by the master

Been watching you for years and the quality of your baits are something else..... Keep up the good work my man .......

That's sick! You just keep amazing me with what you come up with!

i love you man i hope you get better soon

Happy new year nat more videos please

Man great job! Those eyes came out amazingly well.

Nate, you have outdone yourself again! Fantastic design and color scheme!

Wow! This is dope. Would love to try and make my own bait

Ben miliken would be drooling at this bait
