My first topwater mouse on a lathe, easier than you think.  

Despite the setbacks, you made a beautiful lure. That would work great for hunting Northern Pike. Another great video Franko. Oh, by the way the Lurh Jensen crankbait that I made did fantastic in the water. I can't wait to paint and clearcoat them.

Ain't nothin' wrong with that guy no matter how many times he tried to jump and run off during clear coating. Looks and moves great! He's gonna be a big hit! Thanks for reminding me... I was looking to buy a transparent black yesterday. When you pull out the Oil Discharge, you reminded me that I already have those Badger paints.

Perfect timing with this video, I just got a lathe. I've caught some Decent bass on a mouse lure. That stinks when a lure comes off the spinner.

Nice one, looks quite realistic and I like that you brought down the paint a bit lower on the belly on 2nd paint job, really makes it look like a real one.

I like the fishing segment you do at the end every once in a while. I got that ozark trail rod as well that your were catching those crappie on

Great looking lure Frank. I am a big fan of top water and saw the hurdles you over come and kept your friendly damener. Charles

Very nice Franco. Next one, use a fan brush to create a natural hair pattern. How I paint mine

Great video and great looking mouse lure very nice action on it

Nice action on the mouse lure! And crappie for dinner!

Thoroughly enjoyed the video!!! Keep up the good work!!! God bless!!! Chuck Knight from Atascocita, Texas. ✝️🎣👨‍🌾🦌🙏

Awesome job! It turned out really good despite all the setbacks. I’ve had those days I felt like throwing the whole mess in the garbage. 😂

Nice one Franco, that tail was a nice touch too. Have you tried the other style of knife with the metal body and reversible blade? I find they are way easier to get a decent carving with. Guessing you have, but thought I'd ask just in case. Anyway, top work at always mate, appreciate the work, especially given the mishaps!

Another great video. Looks great with nice action

My God that looks DEADLY 🔥🔥❤️

Awesome action on that lure! I wonder if you concaved the nose a bit if it would push more water for more disturbance? Great job! May have to make one of thse!

That looks amazing! Nice action.

Great video as always. Hello from Maine.

I lack your skills but have been turning frogs into mice for 20 years.

Turned out good

That bass rat looks awesome!!! The two things I always wondered about was your light box and horse injector thing and what made you decide on them? Anyway I love the bass rat.

Cool build Franco. I wish you would have done this 3 weeks ago as I just finished a mouse lure. Wasn’t sure what I wanted to do so I made a popper instead of a crank. I had an issue about what to use for the tail so I put a hammered willow leaf just to attract attention while popping it. It now looks like a mouse with a beaver tail haha. Truly a Canadian made lure🤭. Looking forward to the next vid! Take care from the white North. 🎣👍🏻🇨🇦

I made something similar but used a worm hook on the back connected with a split ring for short strikes

You should do a paw paw wotta frog next

Love the lure. I'd call it an awesome possum instead of a mouse, great and inspiring nonetheless

Very nice!

Make a flounder lure. Or a other flatfish lure out of wood that swimms nice. Just if you looking for new engeneering challenge

Let's see u make the silicon mold box please. Great work by the way😊

And so... the hunted becomes the HUNTER !!! 😏

Franco..id say zonker strips for a tail & legs/ feet, if not shorten ur rubber tail by atleast 1.5"

I think you called the crappie a “speckled perch” in your last video, or was that a different species?

Fun

You should have kept it nood and put some Gray lines on it for details

👍👍👍👍👍

Something will forsure eat that!! If not send it my way..they will kill it here!!

that mouse has a nose for bass

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that s^*t happens to.

😂👏🏻👏🏻
