Lure Making with Balsa Wood, Making a bass minnow lure and catching fish.  

I have had a few request for the source of the dive bib I used in this video, here's the link: www.lurepartsonline.com/Small-Lure-Lips

Nice work, not many youtubers can hold my attention for a whole video, I definitely look forward to yours coming out!

Great great action! I am suprised how such a long and thin lure has such a wide wobble!

NJ top water stopped bass action has been the best in 20 years you would have had a field day here the last 4 weeks

Since taking up wooden boat building I've missed so many episodes. This looks like an awesome project. And i could really do with a bite magnet.

Another nice job Franco, excellent action on this one! Appreciate your videos, I know they're a lot of work!

Would you be kind enough to link those premade bills. And I really enjoy all your videos. I don’t think there is one that I haven’t seen. You’re definitely my go to source of information, if I want to do something new, like chroming baits, or building the tools to do it. Thank you for bringing this community, just an astounding amount of information and technique.

I could have sworn in another video you where on sante fe and after this video I see I was correct! Awesome I grew up around the area and I've been watching you're videos a wile now how cool

classic!

I love this build, so classic and elegant. Nice job!

Nice.

Great job as always

Love when the engineerDANGLER posts a new video!!

Been watching your channel for a couple of months now and I have really enjoyed your content. You clearly have mastered the principles of weight distribution and body sculpting with jerkbaits to have it perform that well. Take it from a guy who isn't quite there yet. Lol. Great video.

nice looking lure

Another masterpiece..love the classic lures 🍻🎣

Wow! Earlier this week I just went back in time and watched your videos on using foil for one of my lures. Very nice lure and video!

Amazing 👍

I fish in the area around Ocala and I get some on that pattern. I do the best in the darker waters with jerkbaits that I stained the wood with tie dye and coffee grounds. Yellow with a brown back and dark green with a yellowish belly are the best producers and I get a lot of giant bass on them. Lately I’ve been getting them best on 2-1/4” crankbaits but I won’t stop making my jerkbaits so I’ll be ready when the fish are😊 I think you should make a clear jerkbait with the polycarbonate layers and have a bit of foil inside and do a translucent honey yellow with a brown back. I think that would be the ultimate weapon for Florida bass.

Another amazing build. I have yet to foil a lure, I have a few on the table right now called "Ratlin Bob" lures and am very tempted to give it a go.

Nice one Franco, you make it look so easy.

Franko you make it look very easy. Another fantastic video.

very nice

Another great video Franco. I always learn something from you

Very nice work!!! Love it, i will definitely keep this video in mind. I want to realize my own lure

Nice build Franco..i take chain pickerel fishin all day long , better fightin fish

You made that look so easy, I'm going to give it a try. Great video ++

Nice lure! I like that lip too! I've got several Rapala's that look a lot like that! And they always snag a fish!

That one came out great! I like the foil truck. Might have to see what I can come up with for a "knurled wheel"... It looks just like a classic rapala floating minnow btw. I have a few really old ones I got from my grandpa. They have caught me many bass. Nice!

I have watched you airbrush straight from the bottle many times. Do thin your paints first? I cannot get any of my air brushes to spray paint straight from the bottle unless I thin it first. What air pressure do you use to spray? I love your videos been watching for two years and have learned a lot about lure making. Thanks.

Where do you buy the UV resin bottle?

Hey Franco where did you get that bib? This was a really well done video by the way. I've seen you do the top slot before but I didn't understand the why. Your explanation was perfect. I also liked that you explained how the UV-resin cures from light transferring up through the bib. I notice you use UV resin a lot instead of super glue and after I thought about it I realize I'm always frustrated by the friggin super glue running or spider webbing and getting all over the place including my fingers. Seems the UV is a lot easier to control.

Hello, I am an amateur wood carver. Could you please share the measurements and angle degrees you used for the lure? In this way, I can make and test a lure like in the video. Thanks in advance :)

Hi Franco. I’m just wondering what the roller tool is called you used to make the scale pattern on the foil? Another winner video! Thanks for all you do! 🎣🇨🇦👍🏻

nice work Franco, where did you get that dive bib been looking but no luck thanks

You can actually get away with using screw eyes in balsa baits. Especially if you’re making them for bass but I’ve even caught decent pike on balsa baits without a wire harness and never had an issue

Nice work on a classic!! Where did you get that dive bib? Is it in your Amazon store?

When you use uv resin do you have to put it in that chamber I’ve seen you using?

Nice Video! I just discovered your channel a day ago when watching the video about Lithium batteries. I have watched several of your lure building videos & it is quite interesting. I was wondering if you would have any idea's on how to repair the Rapala ScatterRap Minnow type lures? It has a round curved lip & I can't find any lips anywhere to replace them with. The Rapala ScatterRap minnow has a problem with the lip coming out of the lure. I thought you might have some idea's on how to fashion a replacement lip. Also I wonder if anything can be done to the new lure to re-enforce it somehow so that the lip wouldn't come out in the first place? Thank you!!!

What’s your favourite uv resin ? Noticed you’ve worked with it for quite some time now

Doar umas iscar pra mim queria ter pois não tenho condições financeiras pra comprar

Jou stol my trick ashol

can you show us how to make our own center pin twist locks? I was thinking how great it would be to have a twist lock forming die for a Twist Tech type wire former. Sounds like simple design patent.
