Wonderful!

I wondered about a jointed wake bait and the video popped up in my feed. Cool.

Might be my favorite bait you have made yet

Very cool! I'd like to see a wake to very shallow diving, crippled Shad that lays and swims on it's side rather than up right. We see Shad get injured going though discharge tubes on the local impoundment and they can't upright them self. So they floop and dart around on their sides. And the big Wipers eat um by the buckets.

That's the best way of making a joint that I've seen.

Very nice Franco! Like the action!

Beautiful lure! My pops used to say fishing lures are made to catch the fisherman first.

Great job great ideas, love your videos. Thanks.

Spent a lot of time carving gills and Gill rakers and plates and I have to agree with you that it is somewhat of a waste of time.... but when it's done in great detail...it is something right? Do you honestly think it makes a difference?

I will definitely be making one of these to try on the schoolie stripers in the back bays!

Meus parabéns esta isca artificial artesanal ficou perfeita parece peixe de verdade .

Another great video Franco. I prefer knuckle joints over v-groove slots because it does provide more action. The tail can roll around instead of being limited to medial/lateral movement.

Great work my friend!! Crazy that I just finished a wake bait myself with a very similar design! Here in Eastern Washington state the smallmouth are slamming topwater right now so this bait should do very well!

I need to get one of the two sided clamps I see a lot of guys with. Mostly for painting but for other processes as well. Thanks

I always enjoy watching your videos Francisco! I always take away something. Thanks for making these videos. I can't wait for the next one brother.

Ok Franco. You’ve insured me. It’s cool enough in the shop to begin lure building again. I find it much faster and easier to control carving when using chisels, a coarse half round file, and a narrow strip of emory for initial shaping. I just don’t feel like I have the same control with the belt sander.

@EngineeredAngler

Sure...the belt sander takes a bit of finesse. The most important thing is to know when to stop. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

Looks like a winner! I gotta try that kind of joint, what gauge wire do you use for the pin? I assume it’s stainless steel? Excellent finish on that one too. Thanks as always!

What UV light source do you use? I use the same resin as you but the only way I can get it to not stay tacky is putting it in the sun. I have tried a few different UV lights all with the same results.

@EngineeredAngler

2 жыл бұрын

365 to 395nm wavelength and as high wattage as you can get. Be sure the lure is close to the light source. A few inches makes a big difference.

Can you share the still image in the water?

New to the channel and I have been wondering, how many joints can you put in a lure before it stops working? I have seen and "made" a double but can you do triple or more? I figured you were the guy to ask more than anyone else.

@EngineeredAngler

2 жыл бұрын

It depends if it is a Is simple swim bait or if it's a crankbait with a dive bill . With a dive bill, it usually does not benefit from having more than one joint. Extending many joints on a regular swim bait will shift most of the action to the tail. You should watch this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/dauLms6OpcjeiaQ.html

How do you get the uv to dry I have tried loads and different light nothing .

the UV resin actually holds the pin well enough?

@EngineeredAngler

Absolutely, there are no forces to push it out since the pin is only seeing shear forces.

Hi. Can you tell me what size needle you use to airbrush your bait? Thank you very much.

I mostly use a 0.3mm but I keep a brush set up with a 0.5mm for spraying my mid-coat or odd paints that need the larger needle.

Do you mind if I ask where you got it from? I saw barrows and lure build online had them in various sizes and thicknesses
