Simply the best bait maker at least on RU-vid. You keep it simple with materials but come up with outstanding designs, unique baits and of course unmatched pair jobs. By the way, I may have copied your turner design somewhat, modified slightly but same idea. It’s been great for all shapes and sizes of baits and other things I’ve clear coated. Thanks for all you share!!
@@SolarfallBaits I saw on a group someone made a frame for the mesh and when pressed on the lure it kept it nice and tight. Likely something you’ve tried but thought it may be an option for that meshing you used.
Mikko. I always enjoy seeing your videos multiple times. I always learn something new. You're an inspiration to a newbie like myself. Ill give it to you though, you find a way to use materials that I would have never dreamed of using. I hope you and your family are doing well brother. Keep up the outstanding work!
@Solarfall Baits definitely will attract some viewers! Mdf is so easy to come by and as you said easy to work with cause it has no grain. Really inspiring and very creative!
Nice video I have made lures from MDF But I found out the hard way that any flaw or chip in the epoxy or paint And then some MDF will suck up water like a sponge I had 2 of 20 or so lures I made , the finish chipped Those lures had areas swell up over time
That's always a possibility the trick is to let the mdf suck in as much epoxy as possible, i think urethane sealer might be even better cos it's thinner.
I think that you're incapable of making something that's less than perfect. You have incredible talent ! I thank you for sharing with us mere mortals.... Sooo.,... Maybe you should hurry the hell up and make another video to quell your fans incessant need for direction. Love your vids. Appreciate your talents. Wish you the best and thank you.
The MDF use is fascinating. How would you rank it as far as carving and action? I'm always going to be a natural wood fan but its nice to know it can be done with MDF.
With carving you need to be careful it's kinda easy to shave off too much but that's true with some timbers too so I think you will be good as long as you have a sharp knife. Action wise I would rank it surprisingly good. Only thing I would be careful with mdf is that you need to seal it well. If you get any water damage, the mdf will expand and pretty much tear the epoxy coating open. With sufficient care when applying the sealant this should be a but a small problem.
I live in alberta and have been trying to source some good stainless wire . Any stores you suggest ? Wanted to use surgical grade stainless , they use it lots in dental. People say to use 304 stainless for welding that comes in big rolls . But I’ve read some mixed reviews on the welding wire .
@@SolarfallBaits Thanks for the reply. I have used some of this .030 thick material for balsa lures for fly fishing. I super glued lips then used up resin to top coat lure. The lure had a fast wobble which is what I wanted. The BAD NEWS the lip BREAkS OFF after a short while. I repeated this experiment 3 more times with shorter lips which broke as well. I am going to try different adhesive before I move on to thicker material. Do you have any other suggestions?
Sounds like you might have used normal polycarbonate to make your lips. The lexan type bends before breaking and you have to bend it a whole lot before that happens. I have never had a 0.30" actually break off.
@@SolarfallBaits Thanks for the info. I ordered some genuine Lexan Polycarbonate, wish me luck. I ordered .020, .030 and .060. Have you ever used material less than .030?
