Making a FlatHead CatFish SwimBait 

Not gonna stop asking for a yellowfin tuna lure: Edit thanks for all the support guys!

Medium rare steak with coffee for lunch is the most American thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life and I love it

This is the best bait channel on youtube. There is no comparison

Possibly the greatest ad I've seen for anything ever! 😂😂

I think it would be funny to try to recreate those old lures you made into real working baits. Especially the clothespin one.

HA the way you covered up that scratch with Super Glue and Baking Soda... 😂 We should just call it The Bait Maker's Bondo at this point! LOL

Snakehead lure sounds fun

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Your eye for painting is incredible. You're one heck of an artist and lure maker. You should make an Iguana lure! They're everywhere down in South Florida. I bet giant bass would destroy it!

When that burr bit came out of there on the big mistake i could hear the drill press snickering and softly saying "You'll learn your lesson and come back to me." LOL!! ..... WOW!! That splatter masking fluid technique was a great idea and worked great!!! You always say it's hard to get random. Well that came out wonderfully random. Looks great. ..... im afraid that action and the ditch will not end well for the Flat Head.💀🙃

“Flatheads look like dirty sharks”, had me chuckling pretty good. You’re not wrong, Sir. 😆

As a professional artist, I first started seeing your videos as background sound until I caught interest in your technique, especially the super glue and baking soda. Which I’ve now used in my process as well. Incredible what you can learn from different forms of art! Now I wait for new videos every week lol great work! A puffer fish would be fun to make or a manowar ! As a floater

Im sure Spencer would love this odd cave cricket

Gotta love when Nate posts a video on my day off 🙏🏻

Always amazing to watch the baits come alive. Keep winning thanks for sharing your gifts.

Been waiting months and borderline years for this one, i almost dropped my phone in shock when I saw the name of this video, fantastic work as always 😎🎣

Chester copperpot, the key to catfish baits.

You should try a betta fish wether plastic or hard bait I think it'd be dope. Love your vids btw!

I think this channel in underrated

Showing those Baits you started with gave me hope😂

Spencer Bauer needs this one, gotta go catch a flathead with him too

Dude the narration is magnificent. I'm close to tears here 😂 Thank you ❤

Your skills are getting better with every video keep it up

Every time I see your lures I just have say wow

I absolutely love this one flatheads are my favorite species

Flatheads are my favorite game fish! Best fight in my opinion and I've caught a handful of musky

that's crazy how good you made it!

“Dude, I’m gonna call flatheads granny cats from now on” and thats how fish get 20+ names. Very nice lure

Dude the tunes in this episode 🤌

B-roll has leveled up! :)

Damn that came out fire!

Never in my life have I wanted a lure so bad……brings a tear to my eye to see such a beautiful bait being made😢❤…..you do amazing work

Just awesome, great job.

Make a wels catfish next. It has an interesting tail that would give a good action in water. Would be exciting to see. Great video btw keep it up❤

This channel has the most wholesome comment section ever

every video you put out is a banger

This man has taught me more about fish than I will ever need to know but it is neat

Need a saltwater bait series to see what bass will eat, tarpon, snook, redfish, sharks, dolphin, whale, the list goes on and on and oh specially finding nemo

Yay new vid! Can’t wait to ENJOY!!

What an awesome lure. Loved the vid!

Nailed it,,,Love this lure.

Excellent bait yet again!!!

Sweet bait! One of my favorite fish to fish for!

loved that lil lunch montage lol nice touch

Such a perty granny cat

Nice to hear that you wrestled!! My high school wrestling team made It to the state finals last week!!! Wish me luck!!

Amazing work once again !

Man, I'm diggin the color!!

Your videos always inspire me to paint more realistic lures!!! Keep up the great work!!!

These oblibaitions are gonna be amazin' 🤙

Been waiting for this!!! Love fishing for flathead and bass!

I brought this idea up to you a few months back, I'm glad you finally decided to make it Nate

Love it.. keep up the great content!

Another bait, another inspiration to make my own lures! ❤

This is the most beautiful bait you’ve ever made!

Looking better 😉👍 all healed up.

Always happy when I see a new upload

Nice to see you are looking good again. And wow that bait looks amazing. im so impressed over your talent

yay thank you for the upload

I love you MB!!!

OK.... now thats funny. Entertaining. Love your videos

It's perfect ❤

0:22 "I'm actually going to go for... A slow sink."

Can't wait to see what kind of monster eats flatheads !

I have a huge fascination with catfish so i love this video. I love catching catfish and keeping them as pets. I bought a redtail catfish a couple years ago and bought a pool for her so now i can put other big catfish in it with her and have a real cool predator pool full of catfish.

Another great vid! Nate the Great Bait maker never fails!

Another awesome masterpiece Nate…

We need to see those OG baits being fished with at least in one video please!!!!

Be fun to see you remake a couple of those old baits, with the same idea in mind as when you first made them. Like people do with old drawings. Then vs now, or 12 years later. Been watching for a long time, and your consistent great attitude is inspiring and motivational. Thank you

Might be my favorite so far ❤ Can you humor me a bit and make a dwarf gourami lure?

Soon as I saw it I new it was a flat head, looks fantastic.

Haha the lunch segment was great

Cool lure

I once was fishing a top water rapala. It was a silver and black minnow, real old skool lure, maybe an inch long. Had a flat head catch fish just destroy that lure on the top. Never got him to in, but he was a good 10 pounds I bet. It was quite a thrill. Beautiful lure. Reminded me of that good fishing trip with my dad. Wish we landed that fish, but he was the one that got away

Love this one. It reminds me a lot of an open pour sucker that was one of your first vids I saw.

I've been waiting for a flathead catfish!! Keep up the good work! 👍

🔥🔥🔥 Love your content. Always great when you upload. Especially on mondays. Start the week off right👊

Sending Chip some love.

29:45 i wasn't thinking about those cheeks until you made that comment... Had me laughing thanks for that!

A Marling and Solarfall bait making video on the same afternoon. Let's Go!!!!! 🎣

Absolutely love the videos been watching for years. Recently enlisted in the navy and will be thinking of nothing but fishing and your videos while at basic. Can’t wait to for the stockpile of videos to watch when I’m done though!

Oh yea I really loved to see this I wanted this and I actually commented for it😂😂

Good old hydro dynamics at play here, every object will take the easiest path thru water, the average Glide Baits are a lot higher than they are wide, this gives them the side to side movement. With that catfish being flat and not very high the less resistance was over top & underneath the lure, allowing it to move up & down thru the water column, also the 2 pectorals then worked as a diving lip. A very cool build none the less, and a failure is only if you don’t learn from it 🤷🏼‍♂️ really enjoy your tips, techniques & carving skills👌

Catfish rule.thanks❤

Nice job 👍🏼

Hello, I am from Alaska and love the videos. Thanks

That was the best add read I have ever heard

Love the stake and coffee B roll 😂

Id also like to thank you for getting me into baitmaking myself. I made my first homemade bait out of a wine cork, bottom off a coke can and some steel bbs . Cork wasnt the best choice lol. My screws pulled out but amazing action

You're on a roll, nate!

I feel like eating a medium-rare steak for lunch is a strange, but welcome flex. Also always a great video when Chip makes an appearance

I think every man needs more recognition for staying out of holes they shouldn't be in.

What I think would be kind of funny, would be to carve out a loaf of bread in the package, so a package of bread, you could have the tail be the opening to the bag or something, and paint it in a Wonder Bread color.

Nice looking bait Nate, you should try and make a 6” soft plastic bullhead

Looks like a real fish.

I always love your video’s! Keep up the good work❤ Maybe a cool idea, make a zander swimbait? Seems like a nice idea to me!😊

Lovely

Favorite quote, "flatheads kind of look like dirty sharks" 31:27 😂

Ok, I think I'm in too deep: I got a little anxious when you didn't let Chip out after your "ONN TO THE NEXT BAIT!" Can't wait to see you make this catfish official.

I have a vice like this that works great for odd shapes: Grizzly T34003 - Pattern Maker's Carving Vise There are a bunch of brands that have similar vices that swivel and hold very well on odd shapes. And you could even make an attachment for it out of a 2x4 and a piece of plywood (that is what i did) that would let you clamp it in your existing bench vice vs needing to put it in a hole in your bench to lock it down.

35:49 might be the hardest I've laughed all year.
