To me, there is something special about handmade wooden fishing lures. Whether you are interested in small freshwater poppers or big saltwater poppers, the lure carving process is the same. These topwater lures are fun to make and easy to fish with. Follow along with me in the lure making process from block of wood to finished custom bait!

That's one of my top 5 in the coolest lures I've ever seen someone make, RU-vid doesn't give you enough love but it will have no choice! Thanks a lot for sharing, the blue skeleton popper is now one lure I'll never forget! Greetings from Brazil ✌🏻

@waterdoglures1352 3 года назад

PS. I noticed the ziploc container you’re using to clean your airbrush. I haven’t seen anyone do that before. Are you rinsing by dipping between color changes with water? I’d be interested in watching in one of your videos how your cleaning the airbrush. 🙂

@zimmtex 3 года назад

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

@zimmtex 3 года назад

Yes, I rinse and backwash between colors. I'm sort of a self taught airbrusher, so I'm not sure if that's proper but it works for me.

Top of the top in lure making. Have never seen anything better. Hope this popper is for a collection or exhibition and not for fishing.

@zimmtex 3 года назад

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! It's tough enough for use, but honestly I made several other big poppers to fish with. Thanks for watching and for your support!

Mike Stinnett of 'Stinnet Sticks' RU-vid channel uses a wood burner on a lot of his carvings. I beleive he even has a few videos dedicated to carving trout. You might want to check them out- you would probably enjoy his videos.

@zimmtex 3 года назад

Thanks, I checked it out. Very talented carver!

@draven3838 3 года назад

I love the painted side ,not so much on the carved side. The carved lure should all be carved ,but still it's a novelty item well done ,love the colors choice

@zimmtex 3 года назад

I think it's good to stretch your legs a little with carving. I will say that I can definately feel an improvement in my carving abilities after making this lure. Thanks for watching, I appreciate your support!

@pearcephillips3106 3 года назад

That is super cool! How did you paint the first popper to give it that marbled look? It looks almost like resin but I’m curious to know how you painted the blue marbling and the gold skeleton. Thanks and keep up the awesome work 👊🏼

@zimmtex 3 года назад

Thanks for watching! I hand painted the last one with Testors model paints. I went over the white primer with gloss teal and dabbed it with tissue paper to give it some texture. Then I frehanded in some flat black and white marble veins. The final step was hand painting metallic gold over the bones. I really appreciate your support!

@roywright5485 2 года назад

@alfredoabraham7031 2 года назад

What would be the cost of that popper? I would love to have one like this but with orange yellow colors and a gold skeleton just to have it as an ornament. What you do is an art. Greetings from Ciudad del Carmen, Campeche Mexico

@MarcosMVlures 3 года назад

@zimmtex 3 года назад

I use poplar for poppers because it is fairly tough and easy to work with. Thanks for watching!

@daverenfro6043 3 года назад

From my experience as a wood carver have found if you burn at edges it keeps stain from bleeding where you don’t want it.
