Thats what makes your work exceptional mikko is the attention to the small details very few of us left in this world that pay that kind of attention to the little details.

This is incredible work Mikko. This looks almost as good as Savage Gears 3D roach and that took an entire company years to develop using 3D scanners and other crazy machines. Keep up the great work.

Watching your videos is what inspired me to start making my own baits , thanks Mikko

Great to see from conception to finished bait ,excellent video and great inspiration just getting into lure fishing and hoping to try making some simple lures in the future for myself. Thanks for sharing

Really hypnotic to see you build this! I could not turn off youtube until the clip was done damnit

Your lures are simply exceptional and seeing how you build them is a joy for our fishing minds ... thank you friend, every time I see one of your "Swimbait diaries" my passion as a fisherman reborn!

amazing craftsmanship!! was more concerned with the open craft knife parts than the drill but you clearly know what you're doing. don't try this at home kids 😂😂

That is some serious skill brother. Awesome! Fish on!

I Always Wonder How A Soft Jointed Swimbait Was Made,Thats Really Cool.

Amazing work..as always! I personally think with all your talent you deserve some top notch wood carving knifes to make you work on the details more comfortable.. That paper cutter must be painful after a while. Maybe you can even get sponsors for this whit that high quality work of yours

What shore hardness silicone do you use for your molds?

Beautiful work as always. I know you get a ton of questions about the paint for plastics and know it is CAB which, I don't expect in the states anytime soon. Just curious. Is that paint solvent or water based? Thanks.

@SolarfallBaits

All softbait paints regardless the maker are solvent bases

Hello Mikko, you have incredible capabilities, your video was awesome. Maybe someday, I will do something similar...Thanks for sharing your excellent work and creativity. Mikko, given that you have lot of experience painting lures, do you know how to use in the correct way Wicked UV Glow base and Wicked UV Glow White for painting your lures?... I bought both paint cans thinking to add the UV factor to some of my lures, but I'm not sure how to use them. The UV factor is a very attractive characteristic in some lures for fishing. I have many Japanese lures with UV glow, and they always gave me excellent results when fishing. Thank you in advance for your help.

Another general question concerning your amazing crankbaits. Do you make them in balsa or also in maple (and afterwards in resin)? And where do you get the cool looking saddle lips or do you make them yourself?

@SolarfallBaits

7 жыл бұрын

the wood choice depends entirely on what kind of crankbait im making and for what species. i mostly use balsa, maple, birch and featherlite. those saddle lips are very common here in Finland and most stores that sell lure making stuff have them in various sizes.

Did you hand pour the plastic or inject it? I ask due to some collapsing issues I had in the past on a bait this big hand pouring. Also, can you share any info on the harness used, i.e., installed after pour, just a wire with a loop on each end?

Watching your videos has made me go get materials of my own to attempt thank you!! However I can't get it out of my head. The joints, is the puddy you use strong enough to not rip apart if a fish bites the rear hook? Or is there something you molded in to keep the bait from tearing apart?? Thank you.

I watch. You make the cut in half with the angle. Make the molds of both separate pieces. What interlocks the pieces back together? A thin fabric?
