Homemade Bait Launcher - Review & Test

Check out my version of a homemade bait launcher and watch it shoot frozen slugs over 120 yards! I wanted to make a video that discussed the original questions I had before building one, as well as a clear idea of how far this thing would actually launch! If any questions or thoughts leave a comment!
If you decide to make one, do so AT YOUR OWN RISK and ensure you’re using proper pvc pipe that’s rated for the pressure you want to load it with. Additionally before using for fishing, check the local laws to ensure they’re legal in your area. Good luck!

Thank you. This is by far the best video on RU-vid describing the entire process. Really helped me build mine.

@40317330EJM 4 месяца назад

I was so impressed; I live in northern Ohio and will be building one for fishing in Lake Erie this coming Spring 2024.

@christophervela5447 4 года назад

You had one of the best videos on this genre or category man...I just started building one....big help and big like

Love it going to build one tomorrow 🐟🐟 Thanks bud

@itguy19 4 года назад

Great video! I am also in TN. ( Memphis ) , I go to Pensacola about 2 - 3 times a year. I will be building one also!

@steffensamlal1854 6 лет назад

U inspire me to build one of these, I’m excited

Steffen Samlal good luck, and let us know how it goes.

Like your bait launcher, good video! 👍💯💪

@erkthejerkjerk5024 3 года назад

The handle for the valve is a cool add on.

@probervio3680 2 года назад

Love it man,, I'll be trying it in Todos Santos Baja California sur 🤙

@brittanyhollis390 6 лет назад

Nice work

@robertfreeman3389 Год назад

You can also use it at some of the big lakes to catch some big cats. Get out there where them big cats are sitting on the bottom in the deep.

Awesome! ... Thanks for the lesson ... 🙂

@michaelcardona3678 5 лет назад

Comment...more of a question. Can you do a assembly video telling the viewers sizes of pipes and showing step by step assembly

@hussamzug 4 года назад

Thanks I will build one it’s good👍🏻🐟🐟🐟🎣

@surenbhola107 Год назад

Awesome video tks

@jasonheath8631 5 лет назад

Can you send me the plans for the pipe sizes to fit and all the parts. Awesome want to build one . Just wasn't sure of all the cut sizes and parts. Thanks

@daddyfixit5188 3 года назад

Well that went well 😁👍👍

@fundermantalaudio1 4 года назад

Hi I build 1 but only thing I changed was the air barrel.. I used 4" 40 sch pipe 42" long but If not shooting ad far as it suppose to shoot .. should I change back the air barrel to the 3" pipe

@lorenzozamora9818 2 года назад

What's up brother a new subscriber to your channel awesome video can I get the measurements of ur launcher and what size you used please gonna make one 😀

@chriss8206 Год назад

I have found any psi to distance recommendations

@thespig13 6 лет назад

I made one like yours but I made my "air tank" part 4 ft. instead of 2ft. Also, I made the barrel 6 ft. long by 1.5 diameter.... at 50psi, I can make a 7in ice slug go about 200 yards.... I also wrapped the tank and barrel in duct tape just in case something would go wrong, do you so any effect on distance when you attach a fishing line to it?

@buck91hunter 6 лет назад

thespig13 I haven’t noticed any issue at all which attaching it to fishing line. During my initial tests I did some launches with and without line attached-distance was the same. I would however make sure to keep the pole aimed and in line with the barrel’s direction when you launch it. Also, love the duct tape idea. Would probably add some extra peace of mind. I’ll may also look at extending my air tank as well.

@scottmichael3745 4 года назад

Bro, thank you I'm building one now. This helped in design. but mine are combustible powered! :-)

@abhilashvr3724 3 года назад

can we replace the air to flammable gas

@maui5480 6 лет назад

Nice job!!! Would you know why everyone only does 100 psi?

@buck91hunter 6 лет назад

Mauricio Barrientos personally I when I’m pumping it up, it begins getting difficult to pump around 80psi, but I keep going to 100. Seeing that it goes plenty far enough with 100, I don’t really have a reason to go more. I do believe though it has more to do with the pressure rating of the pvc chamber, and not wanting to overload it with pressure.

@TheFrankster 5 лет назад

A random 'safe' number. It is usually 80-90 PSI, for 3:1 'safety'- that isn't safe. PVC is not rated for air. It is illegal and dangerous to use with air. It is made much cheaper than 10 years ago. You are not even allowed to pressure test with air. Cycling PVC weakens it, like bending a wire back and forth. It is 10:1 factor for stress, plus heat, hold, ozone or sunlight weakens it even more. Even 280 PSI PVC will suddenly fail, as low as 28 PSI, without warning. When? The 10th time? 30th? 100th? You can't buy eyes at any price. Use a HDPE, Steel, Aluminum, or another chamber designed for air pressure. Even using old fire extinguishers are safer than building a bomb.

What size drill bit do you need for that plug for the air

How do i shoot in bait in fresh water

@michaelosullivan8288 3 года назад

That be awesome to build a carry case for bait launcher when go going to camping that be awesome idea with carry bait launcher without handle so it be easier to store in carry case it's not hard to pack thing up camping or day or night fishing time and Ive love day time for sharks and night time for gummy sharks then fillet it up for fresh dinner lols

@authentic4225 Год назад

Whay is the volume of air?

@briancarolina3081 4 года назад

Any tips for getting the ice bait bullet eazy out of tube once frozen?

@buck91hunter 4 года назад

Letthere Bepeace i usually have a bucket of water next to me while I’m fishing. I just let it sit in there for 30-60 seconds (before I hook it up) then it will slide right out.

@briancarolina3081 4 года назад

Drew Morgan ok thanks for the info!!

@squaregrouperx 5 лет назад

Pretty damned impressive!!! I feel the need to point out the U between your pressure chamber and barrel appears to be DWV (drain, waste, vent) pipe. That is a significant weak point. I highly recommend changing that to sch40 elbows instead.

@chriss8206 Год назад

Doesn't anyone use a laser or tape measure. Can you cast that far

@JoeSmith-zg7in 4 года назад

Find out to what it's rated to and a person could put a pressure gauge on it.

@fundermantalaudio1 4 года назад

i made 1 just like that

@vaioskickboxing 5 лет назад

goodbye i want to tell me if the pvs pipes are safe due to pressure .. and any materials and diameters and size whatsoever i have and do not know English and I write it from the translation thank you

@squaregrouperx 5 лет назад

Make sure to use PVC pipe designed for high pressure. Do not use pipe for drains or vents.

@40317330EJM 4 месяца назад

Use a Schedule 80 PVC for all pipe & fittings

@alexl932 5 лет назад

Hello my friend, I challenge you this:) If you can make it flight time over 8 sec in air, it shoots over 1,029 ft=343 yd, the best way to proof is recorded its flight time in air - timing from the moment of fire it until the bait hits the ground/water. Or shoot it in open grass field then measure it:). I think if add your 4" chamber LONGER and extend shooting barrel 2" longer (say 10'), then you can achieve that. It should be fun:)! Thx:)!
