Please join me in a moment of silence for the loss of an excellent, if short lived, custom handmade lure. No worries, we achieved the goal of the experiment. We showed that you can scale up a lure that works well. The next step is to carve a new one to use as a master for a mold...then: WE MAKE DOZENS!!!

How about the casting distance? I'm having trouble with My 1 Oz minnow with a lip ,my casts do nota reach 40 mtrs. is it a way to make them cast farther without a weight transfer system? Btw great channel

I used to make wooden toys for my grandkids. I live close to a furniture co. And they throw all kinds of small scraps of hardwood. Maple walnut oak just small pieces which would be ideal for something like that. These are awesome lures that you make. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of them with us. We value the time that you spend making your videos. We are anglers too love the sport. Thank you.

It sucks to lose a lure. Especially one you make yourself. Build another with a rattle chamber. Excellent video! Love Friday mornings because of your channel.

I lost a Yo Zuri lure that caught lots of fish we could never find the same one again. It does suck to loose a lure especially one that works.

This week I'm actually fishing in North Bali trying out some of my recent lure builds so this build will have to wait until next week but I really want to give it a go.

Good luck!

When you were testing the lure I was thinking to myself I wonder if he ever lost one while doing that. And sure enough not even a minute later… man that sucks. But the action looked great, you nailed it, definitely worth a rebuild. I recommend the Tactical Angler power clip, pretty sure they make a 25lb clip which should be small and light enough not to hinder lure action.

My favorite type of bait! If anything I want it to shimmy on the fall in addition to all the other features. :)

Well, now that I know that it scales up and works well, I'll shape another to use as a master for a mold.

I would have had to go swimming. That was to nice of a lure to lose. Especially on the first trip.

Best show yet! Sorry you lost your lure though. Did you jump in after it? Also, favorite line… “my plan is to, I don’t know what my plan is!” Lol

Thanks bro...hope you had a relaxing time in the Caribbean.

If the lure sinks a rod recovery trick might work? Every boat should have one of these anyway. Take a chain stringer and open all the hooks where the fish would go, tie a strong cord to the other end which will remain closed. Toss it in a few times and you will find the rod. I've never tried to find a lure with it but if you tied some small rope to it to possibly snag a hook? I use a chalk line reel to hold my cord but a marker buoy will hold the cord also.

is there a video of you making the smaller version? if not i would really love to see you making it again!

What types of heavy wood are the best for glide/jerk baits? I keep seeing Maple... I think you used Cherry in this one! Where do you get these types of wood hopefully somewhat cheap?

Being in the south should you be talking smack about catfish? Isn't that prosecutable? Seriously though, what a kick in the gut. Losing a lure before you catch a fish on it is bad enough, never mind being one you spent time building and painting.
