Hello Mikko... welcome back and greetings from Peru !!! ... we were waiting for another of your great videos. This one was extraordinary. I hope some day I have at least the half of your skills for doing my homemade lures... I haven't started to do my resin lures yet. I'm still working with Balsa wood. I have to break the ice and try to do something with the resins and polymers I bought. Mikko, congratulations for your work and thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge... You help me to learn a lot!!!
Obomodulan. Never heard of it. Usually when I have chip out on bass or poplar, I patch with super glue and baking soda, but I like what I'm seeing there. Will have to try it. Either that, or stick me a frozen blue gill in some silicone.
Great lures! I made a vacume degassing pot made from and old pressure cooker and an old HVAC roughing vacume pump I got at a flea market for $10 to take the bubbles out of both the mold material and the casting material - eliminates all bubbles. I also occasionally put a vent hole on the mold for tricky designs where flow through can be a problem. Beautiful lures! What no giant Musky following the lure yet??
i should gobble together somesort of degassing system too the bobbles can make stuff rather annoying especially when casting for lures. i wish there was a giant musky following the lure but sadly we dont have them in Finland
Amazing work. It would be even better with footage of you catching a fish on that lure. Also, a polarised lens on your camera or even an underwater camera could give much better images of your tests at the end of each video.
WOW!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK!!! Just subscribed. Wish you would shoot some under-water footage to get a better shot of this ( and other ) lures in action.
That solely depends on the size of the lure i measure the amount in grams in relation to the resin so its hard to say an exact amount. As a ratio but its mostly between 4-8grams of micro balloons.
never had any fish hooking problems with 3/0 hooks (like i have on the lure in the video) for pike. Also usually bigger and heavier hooks you use on a glide bait such as this, that might have a negative effect on the gliding action of the lure. Imagine that the weighting system inside the lure is a fixed pendulum that makes the lure move from side to side. Basically the more stuff you add to off set that pendulum motion, the harder you usually need to work the lure too with donward strokes or reel turns.
@@SolarfallBaits awesome baits by the way. Ive starting making stickbaits here in new Zealand to chase kingfish. I am now addicted to making lures haha
@@SolarfallBaits oh, that’s great. I looked it up, it seems hard to get a hold of in Ontario. I guess it can only be ordered. Too bad, because the shipping ruins so many things.
Wonderful baits you make. Almost too beautiful to use... I'm also trying to make my own jerkbaits. I'm pleased with my wood-working skills, but the painting is a disaster. I have a cheap airbrush pencil with a .25 nozzle and a borrowed compressor and I'm using the jvr paint. Is the nozzle too small?? It's impossible to give a lure a covering white paint, although the use of opaque paint. Do you have a video explaining the airbrush requirements?? What is the minimal ....
Thanks for your answer!! I have no idea about the psi?! This is the small compressor I use for the moment. thumbs.worthpoint.com/zoom/images2/360/0515/11/brevettato-airbrush-compressor-made_360_d282656a40a8b26c0779e4dd1e6fdc73.jpg Looks like this small machine can't produce enough psi to work properly?? I don't find technical details on the internet. The type or brand is 'Brevettato'.
So I have a question about the resin :) , also I really like you're videos, you're true insparation :) I Started making lures myself I bought the formcast buro , but the resin type I bought is sinking very fast ,without any weights, the resin you're using is floating...Can you tell where is my mistake , or i'm not using the right resin :) :) Thank you very much ,if you reply :)
you have to add micro balloons or filler as its also known for to the mix to make it boyant. stuff like feather lite as already micro balloons added to it when you buy it.
very skilled work. i dont even know how you make the fish the same on each side.... in 3d its simple iwork on half the model it make it automatically on the other side.. but trying to carve i dont know seems so hard and then each time i try to adjust it make other side off... i almost want to buy a 3d printer design my lure in 3d print it then make my mold from the 3d printed lure.. would be a lot easier for me like that but those printers are still loud and not fast enough for me to really go out and get one yet.
Okay I like your videos but what I want to know is do you actually catch any fish on your lures? So far I have seen you cast them but not catch anything.
@@KillItandGrillIt in these older videos i never added any fishing footage mostly because when i'm fishing i just want to fish and not worry about if im running out of battery or did i remember to press record etc.
Me being from northern europe i was aiming for the common bream thats native to that region. There are some sea species that i know that some people call bream where their at.
Just 'done' your channel, you're an awesome talent mate, very special lures indeed, if i had one dont know if I would dare to use it would be heart broken to lose it. Do you need such detail to catch, probably not but you must be very proud when you do. Patreon? only just found out what it is, from a personal selfish cheap-skate point of view no don't, however I suppose it would depend on how much it would cost a subscriber its difficult to commit if you don't know how deep you need to dig into your pockets. You do seem to require some new equipment tho either that or there was a ghost presenting your channel update video!! Must also congratulate you on your English its better than mine and I am English lol.
The "do you need all these details" which i do on my lures is a subject that i think i will do a video on at some point, i have few practical in the field type tests in mind that might be interesting to few lure nerds. The answer is actually not all that straight forward as one might think. As for the patreon thing, I don't think i will do it at this point, it just does not make sense to me considering my infrequent video output and if i do end up needing some new tools or something else i much rather pay it with my own hard earned cash. thanks for watching my stuff ;)
