Making a Top Water Jointed Winged Crawler 

I love the voiceover while carving. It’s cool to hear your thought process. “Sanding sanding sanding…. Sanding sanding sandiiing”

Haven't seen a crawler since the giant wasp lure. Absolute masterpiece! Do a pike fishing video with it.

Great video as normal. I would love to see an underwater view of your lures in the test tank if you can rig that up. Keep up the great work! Cheers, and tight lines.

If you’re making a walking bait, I would consider the Blue Dragon Sea Slug. They are beautiful little creatures. And you could even make the back appendages injected so that they wouldn’t get in the way

This reminds me of old lures out of my grandfathers tackle box! They sure don't make them like they used to but charge way more for their plastic junk.

My wife and I watch all your videos together.

Okay now we need a mini version for the sunfish and bluegill! Out of every bait you’ve made I really think this is my favorite. Been watching for 4 years now. Thanks for the awesome videos.

You’re an artist turned mechanical engineer. That is a thing of BEAUTY!

I think this might be my favorite of the lures you've made so far. Excellent topwater

Chip!!!! Best beginnings ever! Also ASMR now stands for Awesomely Satisfying Material Removal! 😁 2:08

love voice over, do it as often as you feel like it!

I like the voiceover. thanks for walking us through it, its always interesting.

The most badass piece youve ever made in my opinion!! It is absolutely beautiful and the action is off the charts!! Your such boss! #Legend!!!!

The narration is great, makes stuff easy to follow

Need to make a Chip lure, weedless crank bait with a hidden spring loaded hook, or a “ferry wheel” style splashing top water lure bro! Keep up the good work you’re crushing it.

I think that is the best topwater crawler motion I've ever seen.

It's a good day woke up right to a new marling baits video days is off to great start 👍

If there is a "chip clip" every video I would be so happy

These videos literally ground me. Thank you for being awesome ❤️💚

The fact they kept coming back was great, awesome lure

Awrsome!! And you got to take it home.

Greetings from the Northland! Today I will start my quest for top water jointed crawler. Great videos as always.

“Being all soft with their lips” add that one to the mug! Haha. Love your stuff Nate! Awesome bait and awesome catches like always

Thoroughly enjoyed the voiceover combo.

Hey Nate, I make winged crawlers for our Aussie Murray Cod and find that adding extra split rings on the rear trebles helps with the hook up rate. I have even added 33mm fasttach clips to the rear to get the hooks deeper in the water. Beautiful lure BTW!

I love the voiceover of you carving out the bait, it shows just what you think is happening, tight lines!

This might be the best bait you've ever made. Beautiful and amazing action. Congratulations

This was one of your better ones. Thank you

I would say this is an extremely official bait on the grounds that not only were there a lot of fish, caught along with a lot of hits, but this is I believe one of your first baits to ever have multiple strikes on single casts. There were several times in the video where you would cast reel in and the beat would be hit 3 to 4times before it was fully reeled back in for the next cast. Awesome bait

just absolutely stunning craftsman ship like always, this might be in the top 5 favorite baits from you

Would Love to see a video at the end of the year showcasing your favorite baits that you've made in the past year or of all time!

A common mistake with top water baits is setting the hook when you see the water explode around your bait, I was always told to wait until you feel the fish at that works much better than setting the hook prematurely . The other reason not to do that is setting the hook and have the bait come flying back right at you often resulting in a treble hook hooking you . Great video great bait.

been awhile since you done a top water bait.nothing beats top water lure takes

That's a really quick reel, I always have to remind myself to slow down with those.

Some people might find the silent builds more relaxing, but the voice-over entertains my smooth, gen-z mind. I really enjoyed it!

The voice over in the beginning definitely has some home movie vibes. Like when that crazy aunt comes back from abroad and forced you sit down and watch he videos while she tells ya everything. (Think early 80's)

Wow that paint job was a wild ride, I never had any idea what was going on or coming next

Socks in the shop is wild. Love it.

One of the best you’ve done. I’d really enjoy fishing that

The Ole crazy crawler brings back memories. Definitely seems to weed out small fish. Always had the same problem with hookups but caught some of my PBs right at dusk with crawler baits

Love the voice over!!!! More time for fishing!!!!😊

Jointed.. soft plastic swim bait. Have an inner skeleton for line ties, hooks, joints, etc. Maybe some type of screw lock weight system to adjust the fall. That's be pretty epic.

The old "jitterbug". Memories of the 50s-60s and my Dad introducing me to "casting" and, picking out bird's nest. 😳🙂

Jackall called... They want their Pompadour back! 😁 Seriously though, nice bait! Solid work. I love the bait that was the inspiration.

As always you and your humor is freaking great!🙌 Great voice over narration!🤣

Probably my favorite lure youv ever made you killed it brotha🎣👏🏻

Nice looking bait, Thanks for sharing Nate

This is my favorite!❤ awsome job!

I need that crawler! My favorite lure to throw most of the year here in texas. I’ll take one! Thanks for the great content!

That's such a great bait! I wouldn't mind seeing a flying fish or bat lure with the same crawler blades!

Another perfectly executed bait.. very cool 👍

I will say again, the best videos are the ones where the bait is a new idea so no one knows if the action will be good or bad. However when the action is good, it just makes the video even better!!

Love the content. And you're a friendly and entertaining fella to boot. Love entrepreneural spirit.

I'm loving the top water! Next how's about a metallic whopper plopper with a soft plastic curly tail?!?!?

Crawlers are a very productive bait I've had the same pompadour ried on for 3 years now.

dang! thats next level baitmaking!

Making one half that size would probably be killer! Do it please, it's such a unique action

Nice, Monday lures!!

Thanks for letting me have another video to watch and it's very interesting... lwata 😮 what LoL

I’d like to see you make the state fish for every state. That would be pretty cool!

I'd also love to see your take on a chasebaits prop duster PLEASE !!!

I love the action on it!😄

The voiceover is more than welcomed……your doing great…….the bob ross of bait making I call you, it’s like asmr when your painting your baits😅

Great lure, I hope you make more crawlers, one of my favorite styles of topwater. If you could still get it to float, perhaps slightly bigger hooks would improve the catch rate.

That bait is sick!

Awesome video, Voice over was great, would actually like to see more of that,specially with some of the materials you're using, and to actually see you catching fish!!!

Another beautiful paint job combined with successful performance. Great job!

I like the voice over also I've found that when I release a fish I say "BE FREE". THAT I DO WITHOUT THINKING!

Would love to have you come fish the rivers up here in Saskatchewan, Nate! I spent all of yesterday afternoon catching pike back to back. You'd love it!

I definitely liked the voiceover. It was a bit robotic for a second but it got better quickly. Chip can do no wrong let him slurp away lol.

How refreshing..!! Good stuff!! 🤘🎣

Thoroughly enjoyed the crawler bait. Way to stick with it. I'd rather get a hit and miss than get no hit at all. Keep up the good work.

If you decide to fish this again, maybe chase some pike and striper with it. Would love to see some big fish blow up on that thing. That in a shad or shiner pattern would be ABSOLUTELY KILLER for stripers here in the California delta.

You’ve got the hands of a surgeon.

today i am sick but this video made me feel happy

I have never seen a bait with wings before. Reminds me of the flying fish that would occasionally fly next to our dugout canoe on the Pacific.

I actually kinda prefer the silent openings for your carving videos. The voice over is cool, but the silent openings have such an amazing "Zen Mode" for the first 5 minutes of a video, it just hits different, good stuff!

Just busted out the crawler the other day. Spotted a New Jersey giant the other day. Caught a 4.32lb and this bass made it look like a dink. It’s gotta be atleast 9lbs and it’s my new goal for the year

Great looking bait. Catches pretty good. It’s official 😉

That’s a sick lure. Please send it over to Europe and I’ll serve it to a hungry Northern in 120 fps on a 400mm zoom lens 💥 Oh, and underwater footage is included 🙌🏼

Another spectacular bait!!💯

I'd love to see you go for some giant pike with that bait. Another great video, Nate! Cheers! (I still think it would be cool to see you make a scuba diver bait, just for ships and giggles LOL)

2 supergluebaknsoda! Love it. Awesome bait per the usual! Love your work man its amazing.

Looks like a super dope lure!

I like the videos before I watch them. Cause I know they gonna be good 👍

Hey, Nate, I've noticed as you have, that the fish are striking the front of the bait, where the wings are going to interfere with the fish's ability to quickly grab onto the bait, I think it would help if there was a slightly larger hook, or a hook with a longer shank, to allow the fish to get the hook farther down its gullet. I think that would increase your hookup ratio.

That is a very sexy paint scheme!

The hand is quicker than the eye , feel the fish set the hook ,,, Good video

Y'know what else has a prop? A U Boat!! 🤣 Another epic vid, Nate. Cheers man!! 🤙🏻🍻

Love the voiceover!

I'm pretty sure I've watched all of your videos, possibly more than once and I love all your work, but I think for some reason...this is my favorite bait you've made so far. Even with the hook up ratio, the amount of times the fish were willing to stick with the bait and keep swiping at it was impressive! Fine job my friend!

The voiceover carving was very cool, you should do more. As far as the bait, amazing the action it produced, you defined it well with your comparison to a freestyle swimmer. Coffee was hot, the weather was beautiful and another fun video from MarlinBaits, thx for sharing. Loads of luv from Texas!!!❤️❤️❤️

Another awesome show!

I enjoy watching your vids and try to watch them as they come out. As a fan of yours I've got some ideas for you. We have some interesting bait fish here in Oklahoma. The banded darter, leopard darter, and the cardinal shiner. Thier colors are bright and vibrant. Anyways love your vids like I said earlier.

Big fan of the voiceover

Man I just want to start making lures now lol I love fishing but making them makes more fun and challenging love the work Marling Bait

Reminds me of a jointed pompadour. The pompadour jr is one of my favorite TW baits.

One of your best

Any day with a new Marling baits video is going to be a good day. Keep up the good work!

Another super cool bait. Amazing! “Caught a dinkeroo, let’s find the Shlobbernozzle”
