Please join me for this step-by-step tutorial on how to make a DIY wooden perch glide bait. I love lure making and swimbaits are probably my favorite kinds of handmade fishing lures because of their natural movement and lifelike action. My process begins with lure design, detailed carving and includes lure painting and swim testing these custom baits.

Wow that's totally amazing, I had an accident around 6 weeks ago and broke my back, I thought my fishing days were over at the time but I'm working had with the physio and the gym. My goal is to hopefully get fishing again next summer, all though I'm now in a wheelchair life will goes on. Watching video's like this makes me even more ready to get fit and healthy. I live in Scotland and I'm very lucky to have free health care (NHS) Tight lines for 2024 and a Merry Christmas

Awesome work as always bro! The music in the video is killer as it makes me feel so peaceful too. I’d love one of these in gill!! 👊🏻

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, I'm glad to hear you liked it! I've been making a little bit of progress on that resin bluegill off camera. I'm also thinking about a crappie build, which would be very similar.

@richjageman3976 7 месяцев назад

Amazing work! Love the details of the scales and pectoral fins. The intelligent manner of determining the proper weight amount and placement is IMHO perfect. Excellent paint job as well.

@Straight0uttaCrofton 6 месяцев назад

the red fins really sell it

@zimmtex 6 месяцев назад

I think so too. Technically the top fins are not supposed to be orange, but I decided to make them tracers so I can see what it's doing under water better.

That swimbait looks and performs beautifully. I love it! I read through some of the comments and saw where you said how long this lure took to make. Thank you for the time and effort you put into getting this together. I know you'll benefit from having the fishing lure, but we all benefit as well from being able to watch the process and learn from you. Merry Christmas Zim! May I ask, Do you have a link to the waterslide paper that you use for your logo? Thanks

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your support! I do have a link to the decal paper, but it keeps getting discontinued. However, you can probably find the same thing at your local craft store. www.zimmtexlures.com/productlinks

@pontoontri-hull156 7 месяцев назад

@@zimmtex Thank you so much for the link. At least I know to look for Testors. And if it does become available I will try to purchase it through your link. The stuff I am presently using is so thin that it wrinkles and curls under so easily and frequently that I often have to remove a decal, toss it away, and use a new one. So I will print a couple copies of special decal just to be sure one will work. You can pick yours up with tweezers and the seem to hold up and not get floppy or curl.

@FreedomFishing 7 месяцев назад

Well done dude! Thought it was gonna be slightly too nose heavy but it worked out sweet.

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! It came out just a tad heavier than I wanted, but it swims great!

@FreedomFishing 7 месяцев назад

@@zimmtex that it does! Looks sick too. I'd eat that yellow perch even if I was a smallmouth.

@hzzi5610 2 месяца назад

Hello, I really enjoyed your work. I have only 2 questions for you, one is, what is that liquid you apply after sanding, and what is that white powder, and what liquid do you mix it with to make it firm? Thank you.

@zimmtex 2 месяца назад

Thank you very much, I appreciate your support! After sanding, I use InstaCure to seal the wood. The powder is baking soda which I also glue with InstaCure to make a hard patch.

@chrisgotimer7622 6 месяцев назад

What size stainless wire do you use for making the hook eyes and the eyes for the joint. Awesome lure

@zimmtex 6 месяцев назад

I use .041" wire for this size of lure. Thanks for watching!

@Chillin24Seven 7 месяцев назад

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone glue the wood back on then cut it again. Why not make those cuts first then cut the shape out? I’m just curious what benefits that gave you? Also looks awesome I’d love to use that for some musky.

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Hello and thank you for your question. I glue the cut-offs back on so I have a square surface to run back through the bandsaw and therefore a more accurate cut. Even though a musky would probably tear the finish up, I would love to catch one on this lure! Thanks for watching!

@Suedetaylors85 4 месяца назад

What size wire do you use in the tail to connect the front body?

@zimmtex 3 месяца назад

I used a 0.62" stainless steel lock wire as a pin to connect the two pieces. Thanks for watching!

@imtherichestp9077 6 месяцев назад

What did you use to make that template? struggling with finding a good way to design what i want the baits to look like before printing out a stencil

@zimmtex 6 месяцев назад

I drew it out in my sketchbook and made a photocopy for the stencil. One thing you might try is finding a picture online of the fish you want to make. You can print it out and use it as a stencil.

@BOSN_BAITS 7 месяцев назад

Had an epiphany for you with trying the spray kbs pick up a cheap syphon airbrush wider array of spray also less cleaning

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. Never used one before but it might just be the ticket.

@BOSN_BAITS 7 месяцев назад

@@zimmtex harbor freight has some and I don’t think you can get much cheaper they do spray decently the hardware is clunky but they got me through a project in a pinch

@michaelspingola5582 7 месяцев назад

Awesome lure How long did that take to make?

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Fortunately, I started tracking such things. This one took just over 50 hours to build and another 17 hours to edit the video. Keep in mind, my build time takes a little bit longer because I am messing with the camera (setting up shots, etc.) and I start and stop a lot working here and there when I get some free time. Still, these types of lures take a long time to make.

Zimmtex you sales your lure ? And shipping to italy ?

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for your interest. Unfortunately, I do not currently sell lures. However, I really appreciate your support!

@pastmasters9591 7 месяцев назад

It drives me nuts watching people carve each individual scale! It's so painstaking and unnecessary 😢

@zimmtex 7 месяцев назад

I don't know that carved scales make any difference to the fish you're trying to catch. I for one do it just because I really enjoy detail carving. To each his own I guess.
