Making a Boujie CrankBait Out of Some Mystery Burl Wood 

You deciding to talk and show your personality, instead of just silently making baits like you did at first, has got to be the greatest thing since the invention of the bait caster. Also, please make an open pour beta fish, they have so many different tail types, that would make for some great action, and fun facts would be so awesome as well, that would really test your skills. I know you can pull it off! Thanks for the content.

Looks like Buckeye Burl. Glad you let that grain show through!

Winter times are tough, watching your videos keeps my fishing spirit alive man, can't wait to get on the water again

Honey wake up, new bait video just dropped! Seriously though, I was waiting for a new vid haha! Love your stuff dude, you inspired me to finally start getting a fishing license

That’s is definitely Australian Frog Rock Pine. Grows in most places people can’t access so you are very lucky to have some. I hope this absolutely helps you in no way at all but to ease your mind I love your videos and also own a Tshirt. Carry on

"perpendicular and horizontal to each other" lure making in a whole new spatial dimension, very impressive.

Holy Moses!!! Your slingshot skills are off the chain man!!!! 👏 👏 👏

I've been a wood identifier for 36 years and can almost guarantee that the wood in this video is very rare. So rare that I've only ever seen it once before. That is the rare Russian flourine marbled jerrywood.. a magical peice of wood. I have no Clue what I just said

the lemonade shenanigans reminded me of an old tv commercial of Tennessee whiskey, lazy dudes throwing corks in a barrel. Good vibes, keep it up!

Hello! I'm Ukrainian soldier on the war. Watching your video with great pleasure always. Even in this place where i am)) You're doing great job man! Good luck!

Dont know how i missed this one....glad I went back and discovered it! This is one great looking bait

you should see if you could make a bait out of marble or another type of fancy stone, I feel like that would look super cool especially with a little abstract painting 👀

Smoothism...that word will go on my list of new words to use this week. It's on the same level, or higher than the word "whatnot"...Man am I glad I found your channel last year

I like that you included more of the carving in this one. Back to the roots a bit:

That is my favorite looking of the baits you've shown us. Not ultra complex but just purdy. SO DAMN PURDY! Thanks man.

SLINGSHOT SKILLS ON POINT!!!!!!!!!!

This is in my top 5 favorite baits that you've made for sure I love the wood grain great color choices some of these older videos are still sooo good

That clear coat changed it very nicely. Awesome bait

I know it doesn’t really go along with the channels theme but I think it would be cool to see a duck decoy carving.

I commented before I seen the end, I can't wait to see what you do with that old growth redwood I sent you. Glad you liked it!

Literally the most beautiful lure I’ve ever seen!

Good lord what a video Great music The sling shot was great touch The bait was SO GORGEOUS BEST YET IMO

The music in the trek to the river montage perfectly captures the slip into madness as we wait for spring. Well done

The new music during the finishing and fishing was great

I’m exited for one day season to come back😁

The polished burl, what a unique pattern! Love it! Wouldn't mind fishing em in NZ waters.

Awesome looking bait...

Can't wait for the actual fishing to come back to your videos. keep up the good work.

Amazing bait!¬ Love the translucence so you can see the wood detail. Hope fish will like it too!"

Buckeye burl… beautiful stuff!

This is my new favourite youtube channel, I dont even fish but this blokes so bloody enjoyable to listen too. Ive watched almost every video these past few weeks, I feel like I should go fishing.

Excellent video. Burlescent finish. That old growth redwood has Beetlejuice sandworm written all over it.

I reckon spalted Maple burl. Great again, mate. Australia loves you and Epic bait molds.

Awesome bait...I am really looking forward to all this baittesting videos when winter is gone 😁

I am a professional wood species identifier and I can confirm that that wood is indeed wood.

That wood reminds me of the surface of Jupiter. Another out of this world bait!

Absolutely gorgeous! Yet again amazing work!

I think it’s safe to say this is my favourite bait thus far 👍🏼

This is my favorite video of yours. This was a short film. Fantastic!

Waking up Sunday morning to a new video , hell yeah brother! 🙌🏼

I like it! The best lure, I think, is one that is subtle. You crushed it!

Can’t wait till you get to start fishing again. Love your videos

First!!! Heck yeah! Still patiently waiting on that Warmouth lure… 😉👍🏼👍🏼

Nate you have not only produced what is arguably the best looking bait I have seen you carve you left the wood to work its magic through the varnish and top coat that my friend is just Art 🎨 I can see that getting hammered to hell and back in the spring on the back of a spill way as it runs into a channel I am so jealous of that bait it should be in a gallery really. Well done Nate 👏 ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ I give that bait a 10 out of 6

4:12 Me: oh, i see, the potatoe lure 🤣

Never made my own lure. Will try now befor spring tho. Will be similar shape as berkley zilla glider. With rattle in it. Just to try. Painted my own lure a couple of weeks ago and tested it for 20 minutes and had a 6lb pike 😂 thanks mr marlin for the inspiration for many

Loved the slingshot interlude. Maybe my favorite video of yours. Great music, nature , build and general silliness. Very enjoyable. You need to catch a fish on that.

you carved a lure out of the weather on Jupiter. nice job.

The river finally opened up behind my house yesterday. I'm very excited to spend hours this weekend fishing and probably not catching anything.

I was really looking forward to this video after the IG post of the bait. You've made a ton of really cool baits, this one however is my favorite. Excellent Job!

This bait looks awesome!! You got me started making lures about a year and a half ago. It is by far the the most fun and satisfying hobby I have ever done. Thank you for videos keep doing what you do it’s awesome!!

Really enjoy the videos you upload and find myself constantly finding ones I missed that are older or rewatching your open pours and easy one days. Even though I want to see newer videos, I think everyone should go back and rewatch the older ones to get something that they missed. I just want you to know that your upload schedule is perfect and honestly, take a break if you need to. We will be just as happy seeing a video released a little later than normal. Take care, stay warm!

Reminds me of the famous "Starry Night" painting!!! 🎨

Sweet shootin Tex lol And top tier bait, very pretty, great wood, great painting, and that clear coat was killer man.

Great video! You should make the top water otter holding a clam from the mirror carp video.

Such a beautiful lure! Amazing job

After watching your videos I got inspired to make some crank baits of my own, thanks for all the info. It's really interesting to watch a pro

I like the Wood Talk, wood is good Great bait

This was a real beuty !! Soo nice

I patiently sit here and wait for every single video you upload 😂 thank you for the content 🤘🏼

I just have to say, I never considered making my own lures until I found your channel about a year and half ago. I am seriously looking into getting the gear to make soft plastic lures, and I'm even entertaining the idea of making my own hard lures (although I'm usually not very good at paining).

I literally just tried to blow the dust off the dang lure when you were sanding it in the jean pad. The dust sitting there offended my woodworking side!! Haha. Edit: you crushed that music montage!!!! That was badass, great work!

Wow, impressive action on that bait!

One of your best videos, thanks ,

These videos made me start fishing again. Thank you.

Awesome wake bait! That thing will catch some monster largies 💯🔥

Now thats a lure i REALLY wanted to see on the UV light!

I need a video of u fishing with all the lures you’ve made over the winter.

Another stunner! Way to go, man!

What a beauty!!! 👍

Dude!!!! You knocked it out of the park with this one!!! Amazing looking lure 👏 👏 👏 👏

A beast with a slingshot too!?! Eat your heart out Fowler's Makery.. Marling just dominated

Love the Colter wall reference.

The bait looks amazing!! Good job and keep putting those funny montages at the end, they are always super funny 🤣

I could literally just watch videos of you doing fun facts.

I’m actually sitting in my flip over shack catching bass and perch watching your video

I laughed my butt off when you did the Durrrrrr, very funny and a really nice lure

I just discovered your channel about a week ago and I have already watched over 30 videos. Addicting and entertaining! Keep up the awesome work!

Beautiful bait, seen it on Instagram and I was so glad to see the video come out today

I feel like this is one of the best looking baits you have ever done!

Thanks for the video, my friend. You are interesting. I learned a lot from you. Thank you

That's a work of art 👍

What a great way to start the day! Tired of organizing baits and cleaning reels, gotta love Iowa winters

That right there is what Bobby Duke calls "wewd." Very special stuff.

Cool crankbait! I can’t wait until spring so I can finally start fishing and bait making again

You gotta try making a lure of a little baby gar. Opportunity for lots of detail and I think you’d easily make it look amazing

Nice!!! Such awesome wood!

That’s best one I have seen you built it’s awesome bait keep it up 👍

That bait is Awesome looking. Great work and paint job on that lure, Marlin.

Your videos make my day every single time🔥

ahhh morning coffee and a new Marling Baits vid

Beautiful lure. Inspiring. 👍

@6:00 Your lawnmower is gonna love those ball bearings come springtime :P

That is some awesome wood for sure I did not expect that color shift like that when you sealed it love the videos man

Wow man that is really awesome! I wish I had the skill to create something so beautiful from wood like that. I just picked up the 2.2 prey bait to go along with my 1.7 and now the 3.2 slouch with tail I love those they are so awesome! I hope you put together some more crappie stuff with Jason because I'll be first in line to buy it.

I like it! Kind of a crank bait wake bait hybrid

That wood grain is so awesome

Great aim with the sling shot!

The little “bevis and butthead” snickers while slingshotting were cracking me up 😂

Gorgeous bait ... would love to buy it !
