Glad it was helpful!

At 16:14 you say rivet doesnt see any forces so use superglue. However by leaving the rivet extended out the bottom of lure it will receive full force of the fish pulling on the line and push the rivet tube back up. Otherwise as usual great video, i will be makingone of these soon. Love your workshop too. Good luck and be careful with the gas leak in your boat.. scary stuff.

thanks for this build from all the salmon and steelhead guys....awesome

Thank you. I have one and never really understood them until now. I was using mine as a wake bait Lol

Great stuff!. Thanks for posting.

For the algorithm!

the old ball and chain - pretty cool

Thanks Franco, I enjoyed the build! I plan on making some more (smaller 2 - 2 3/4") J-Plugs this winter that I use for walleyes. The local walleyes are usually very close to the bottom in 20 feet of water so I fish the J-Plugs behind a "bottom bouncer" weight ( 3/4 once of lead cast onto an 16 inch piece of coat hanger). Sorry to hear about the boat problem, hope that you can sort that out quickly! Cheers! Hank

J-plugs are a legendary lure here in the Pacific Northwest.

I made a few cypress lures. There are indestructible. I made a flying fish lure for mahi mahi. I could catch 10 or so before the wings broke. I used lightweight plexiglass and poured a plastic 10" swimbait body . I only get to the GOM every few years. I used these when i was working on a platform and grass mats floated by.

In the saltwater plug making scene, we call that a wacky mack or crazy mack color scheme, great job as always.

Yeah that plug will be trailing behind my sailboat soon...

Good job Franco. I grew up fishing for Great Lakes salmon and trout and J-plugs were the go to lure back in the 70’s and 80’s

Very cool!

I still use this type plug, so I enjoyed this build. So many different brands, and each has a slightly different face angle/shape, and therefore, action. Some work better at slow speeds, others fast. Lyman Lures have a cult like following, but the price for the older wooden ones is absurd.

Thanks for sharing!

The idea is that the body of the lure separated from the hooks so that when the fish shakes it head it can't throw the lure.

Great video as always. I'm a big fan of yours from Russia. I wish there were more videos like this!!

Very nice... thanks for the video, they are to expensive to buy and run in most parts of the river... making your own makes it a viable option..

Nice one Franco, love the look of that one, cant wait to see it in action. I've taken to making my own eyes similar to what you did here. But I use 3 different size hole punches and use black electrical tape for the first largest circle, then shiny tape (washi tape is good), followed by a black pupil of electrical tape. If u tap in some flat head nails into a board so they are only in enough to stand up, the nails act as a holder. You can batch out a heap this way. Then dab on epoxy, enough so that you get a bulge, but the surface tension holds the bulge if that makes sense. Once set, they are great and better than the generic ones you can buy. Good luck with the boat, hope you have got it sorted.

i suggest putting a bead over the knot to protect it

Thanks for another good video Franco. I'm interested to see it being trolled. I might make one for fish with teeth so would need to replace the braid with wire

Hello my friend today is a very sad and emotional day for me today 4 years ago I los my mom to palmaney disease in November 10 of 2019 I miss my mom muchas gracias por Este video de hacer luer me hace sonreír. Disfruto ver tus videos de señuelo, me ayuda. para no llorar

@@EngineeredAngler I have old lure not sure what it's called I was going to send you a picture of it but need to how I can send it to you I think it's will know and maybe even on you would make and maybe even improve

👍👍👍👍👍

Was so hoping that you would find the name of your lure and manufacturer. The two worst things that can happen to a vehicle are electrical and fuel issues. I've always had better luck fixing the mechanical ones. Hope you we able to find the problem and fix it! The trolling lure looks fantastic. The eyes turned out quite nice for an improve solution.

The j plug might just be a copy of the Scottish salmon kynock killer lure they have been around for a century their great lures for many species how’s about a giant blade spinner build for saltwater predators 🎣 tight lines from Ireland 🇮🇪

Lure looks great! Sorry about your boat! Keep us updated as to what you find out!

I am guessing that tank is buried in the hull? If the tank is bad you could always run it with an external tank. It’s always something with these boats.

Wood is better than plastic because it has a lower moment of inertia. Also, this is so freaking close to being a bass oreno. You need to make the double-action wonder.

@EngineeredAngler

Moment of inertia has to do with the distribution of mass, not with the material . So with hollow plastic lures you would be right but, why would that be better? One could argue that a higher moment of inertia would give the lure greater rotational stability.....that might actually be better. Interesting idea though.

Ask retro Bassing he might know he’s in Fla too

I’m considering making a lure that looks like a baseball bat for a family friend. I would love to see you take on the idea as I can’t find any examples when Googling. I think the idea of a bigger front and smaller back even with a knob at the back end should wiggle around quite nicely.

Hope that's not your fuel tank leaking in your boat. Positive thinking, It's probably the hose..
