Those lures are AWESOME! Whats even better, the lack of over explaining, the absence of annoying noise that some people call “music”, the choice to play natural waves made this video worth watching to the end!! Well done!!

Awesome idea and phenomenal results. Your English is excellent, better than most here in the US.

As an educator, I plan on using this in the classroom. In Texas, fourth graders are taught how structures and functions enable organisms to survive in their environment. In the case of this bait, SolarBaits uses the structure (form) of an actual prey fish in the construction of the lure that acts (function) like that fish when pulled through the water. It's quiet interesting to me how the evolutionary data contained in the shape of a fish can be adopted by humans to catch their predators. Fascinating to consider, and a great summer find for a teacher getting ready for the next school year. Great job SolarBaits, and thank you.

Great lure making, great fishing. Subscribed.

If you want to use pine tar, you need to process it into pine pitch with some charcoal. It was used on boats and arrows as a waterproof binder so it should work for lures. I'm surrounded by pines and have made some fireproof camp matches with the stuff, it is very sturdy stuff.

You did an awesome job on those lures great video thanks enjoyed it 👍

Satisfaction of your own lure priceless,well done.

Beautiful work. I love the colors you chose. Something to possibly consider for a deep dive into the genre would be to use natural silver pheasant or undyed mallard or teal... these are all silver/white based. Mid coat the whole bait, then use that as a base for airbrushing..? Your work is fabulous.

Really great job man. Good job.

For spreading glue in small areas I use toothpicks. Wooden toothpicks. They are very cheap and come in very handy for several things. Keep up the excellent craftsmanship. I have learned alot from you.

thats so cool! i have to start carving wood again!

The lures look great. Its nice to see a lure where you haven't had to add weight to the belly of it to get it to swim correctly

Your baits are true works of art. Congratulations. Here Sao Paulo - Brazil.

I love this idea! each boat will be original.

For future reference, if you mix charcoal with pine resin it will make an extremely strong adhesive. Native Americans used it as a way to secure arrowheads, so it should be more than enough for fishing lures.

Awesome video as always, keep em coming

That is a great idea..thank you for doing what you do

Nice job, bro! Totally handmade just like mine!! I’ll try it in the next project. I’m from Brasil and I use an Amazonian wood called molongó. It’s white, soft and light and so good to make the surface lures I use to catch Tucunaré (Peacok bass)

Love the grain on that Pine bark...really thick too...great material especially because you don't have to get to the tree trunk itself...

Great idea about the pine bark and feathers , Mikko , .......also enjoyed the bit of information about Finnish lure history . Years ago I had also made a few lures sporting those Finnish saddle lips , I had pre-cut the slot also with a saw , but then widenened and deepened the straight slots with a 1,5mm Dremel router bit exactly according to the inner outline and curvature of the lip , this way the lips came to sit quite snug even without beeing finally glued in . Best greetings , Dieter

noone thinks about that, so i mention it . nice work!

nice work!!!

Not sure if you tried adding black ashes to your pine resin? It makes it stronger. Although I have never tried using it on lures. Just in making Native American arrows. Love your work. A big fan of you and Finland.

You are the man.

this is art. I'd just mount that lure on my wall and stare at it.

Hello Mikko, greetings from Peru...it has passed a lot of time since our last chat.... first at all congratulations for your extraordinary work. Even though it was a 40min video it was very fun to watch it end to end. I wish to have some of those pines woods near to Lima where I live, but I don’t 😔...it was incredible what you did with that tree bark. Since I saw you for the first time working with tree bark many videos ago, I always review trees where I go, but I haven’t found yet what you get. Please tell me what kind of sealer are you using? Did you replaced at all the epoxy coating by the one you used with these lures? Last, don’t you think would be good to add a little weight to give some more action and deeper swimming to the lure?...before to say bye, for the last two years and a little more, I was far away from my fishing hobbies, now I’m trying to re-engage again to work in my home shop and follow Masters like you. Well, thanks a lot for sharing your work and tips, I’m going to r3view and watch all your videos that you were posting along these last two years. Cheers 👋👋👋

its a shame you guys dont have pine but you could always just use balsa, they have kinda similar properties, altough i think that balsa is little bit more boyant. The lure varnish is on the list i pinnet as a top comment, i still use epoxies but didnt think i needed any for these since the species i was after is not very brutal on the lures, zander kinda gives up fighting really fast, so its not the greatest sport fish but it makes up it in tastyness. I know it does not look it but these lures actually dive pretty deep because of the curved lip i guess, depending on the lenght of line i have out im hitting the bottom at 4meters and actually broke off a lip from one of these. like always thanks for watching Antonio.

Hola Mikko, thanks for answer me... I love your work!!!... I use Balsa wood for my lures and as you state, it is very boyancy. Therefore, weighting it is the way. Given that I don't catch species with long teeth, I will try to use some varnish. I¿m not sure what kind, but I will investigate. Last week I bought Polyurethane. I will try with it. Thanks again, let's keep in touch.
