The red eyes was the right choice! Nice contrast. Looks awesome

I nice! I know how I'm gonna spend my lunch break! ❤ thanks!

The spray silver plating you used in a previous video looked amazing. A few years ago there were two McClarin F-1 cars that were done using the spray silver plating method for several years.

Hey Franco, awesome build again. I love your approach to lure making and application of your knowledge, it is just great. Keep up the good work. Your ideas, techniques, presentation and editing are just awesome, loving every video you do. Just been making up some of your lollipop lures, have turned out great, can't wait to get em in the water. My 3 kids (4, 6 and 9) are making one each and are loving it, so good to see them into it. Thanks so much for all your hard work from Australia 🐟🐠

Just wanted to add- it’s really helpful to see the physics and mechanics behind the lure designs. It makes a huge difference trying to make my own. I’m not just blindly copying a visual design; I can edit and troubleshoot to make the lure work with the inevitable variability in the build.

I want a BIG flat sided wake bait for surf casting, and throwing to northern pike in my lake, something around 6-7" and maybe 2 1/2-3oz. Something I can work a little faster than the metal lip swimmers most surf guys use. I can't find one anywhere, and while I don't have your skills or tools, I may attempt one this winter. I will use this video to follow along, so Thanks!

There are lots of videos of people using wake baits for redfish on KZread. The Strike King KVD model is popular along with similar ones. So I think it's a good idea to make your own. I'd like to see a jointed version. Did that one ever catch redfish?

Hi Franco . Nice to found your chanel! You make really nice lures ! Thanks for all this information you give us! I would like to ask you what I have to do if I want to sink it just a little more while retrieved. If I put the lip on smaller angle , for example 75 degrees, will be ok ?

Franco, another great video. I have done the same set up for a rattle on one of my lures. They do help to make it loud. I am actually using the technique you did to make to original lure for my own, I am planning on pouring the two halves independently to make the lure so that I do not have to drill through the entire body. Would that be easier than doing a one piece poor. Looking forward to your response. Ted

You can use UV epoxy resin and set them in the sun if you don't have UV lights. Just thin the resin with denatured alcohol. You can also try clear lacquer in a can.

You're the bait building channel that does the math. Otherwise it's an "it worked pretty good like this last time let's see if it will work again" sort of thing. Sometimes the how and why behind it is good to keep in mind even if we always don't do the math. It gives us pause to consider things and making it not so fl'y by the seat of your pants'. Thnx.

@EngineeredAngler

2 жыл бұрын

And that's exactly how I feel about it.. I don't always do the math either.

Most of the cuts you make on your bandsaw are not straight. That said why not get a new blade that's smaller.. maybe even 1/8". It will run right around those curves without releifs

@EngineeredAngler

Жыл бұрын

I agree 1/8 inch would be way better for this stuff. The truth is I use the bandsaw way more for other things that require clean straight cuts. But that said, I have already dulled the blade and it won't cut straight anyway.

I think that eyes are very important. Predators key in on the eyes. It lets them know where to attack. That is why many smaller fish have a spot (false eye) near the tail. You can just paint them in...
