Ott’s Garage | How To Build A Crankbait Part 2 

I have never even considered making my own crankbait and now I’m shopping for all the tools to do it!

This would have to be one of the most fulfilling things that you could ever do as an angler! Great job Ott, you’re way more patient then I am!

Very cool, enjoying watching the entire process. My wife said that you was making her nervous when your drilling out those holes for your line tie!🤣😂🤣

I picked this up during all the time home during the pandemic. It definitely gets addicting when you swim the first one. Glad to see you put these videos together.

Great video Ott. Enjoy you showing us how you make these baits. Good luck at Fork. I will be watching fishing church Sunday.

Thank you doing it for years love to see you making these

This is gold, nice job Ott!! Great vid !!! Do some more vids like this!! So freakin cool 😎💯👍🏻

So much going into a crank bait Love the buoyancy test tank. Top secret . I bought all your baits on line. But to watch you make em PRICELESS !!! You need to make for breast cancer ,and autism paint scheme. Just putting it on there That would be neat.

Always make sure wood is sealed before testing in water

Thanks Ott great video I always wanted to learn how to make a crank bait.

Very informative gonna try and make some,got all the tools for Christmas 🎅

That is so awesome!!!!👊🏻 You're so good at doing & explaining and that's why I let the someone else make th3e crankbaits!!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!!

Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting & cool.

Awesome video Ott!!

Great video Ott! Add your catalog to Rumble too.

This is great stuff. Ty! 💯

I am so glad you are giving the juice on this project. I wonder where you get the belly weights.

If you want to be sure you are on center to drill for the weight, use an ice pick or something like it to start the hole and then use a drill with a pointed end. You can do the same for drilling the holes for the hooks. Works for me.

If you ever make it to Eastern Iowa, marling baits is my best friend. Let me know and we can head over to his shop and make a bait or ten..

Can’t wait!

This is awesome! Do you plan on selling any of these?! I'd like to purchase one.

Where do you get the wires ,belly weights from? Great video , I carve decoys and I bass fish a lot this really sounds fun !

Is that tape on the bit,to give you a idea of depth?

Heck yeah

Hey Ott did you do OG slim and tiny the same way i appreciate the video 🙏

Where can I find balsa wood to make lures out of?

I have a question does using putting cranks in water before having sealer on or having it painted put moisture into the wood and would have to wait a certain amount of time until it drys off or could it cause cracking issues or does it need to be in the water for a substantial amount of time to absorb the water.

Hi, I'm Adriano from Italy, I'm asking you if the wood you use is balsa or other type of wood. Thanks bye.

Are you making those belly weights or are they bought from somewhere aftermarket?

What degree angle used

Ott, thanks for the video on making a crankbait. Lake Fork starts tomorrow but I believe you are group b so you start Sunday. I will be watching on live stream all week. Can you let us know where to get the items to build the crankbaits? 🐟🎣

Where do you get your bills and weights for your crankbaits?

Where do you get the circuit board for the bill?

Where do you get your weights?
