Snag Proof? Internal Hook Lipless CrankBait | One Day Build to Catch 

That's the kind of clapping I like to hear lmao 😂🤣

can we take a moment to appreciate how genius and skilled Nate is

The paint names always amuse me. Maybe it's time for a 40k Warhammer/ baitmaking crossover. An Ultramarine-themed bait would look pretty sweet

Nothing better than falling asleep to marlin baits and waking up to him in the same video

When i saw you put in the hook hangers I couldn't get over it for a minute, I was like maybe he just knows something I don't. Bust out laughing when you noticed though haha

The soothing voice that you put people to bed. Literally watching this before I go to sleep. Nailed it

Gotta love when a day just gets 10x better when the phone lights up

I think that's one of my favorite paint jobs, and I love the hook system!

24:00 pulled on my heart strings when he mentioned chips strawberry lure.. we miss you chippy🍓

2 marling bait videos in a week 😮🤤

Dang, glad to see you won't give up on this one. I made a lure before just like this except it had a lever that stuck out the top which was attached to the hook that when a fish had the bait in its mouth and you pull, the lever pressed against the top of the fish's mouth levering out a hook from the bottom that was spring loaded into the bait. It was also a lipless crankbait just like a rat-L-trap. I fished with it once and at one point, 2 or 3 bass were going after it at the same time. But I could not hook them on it and gave up on the idea. I really believe if someone can perfect the weedless concept it can be a very effective idea since it can get down into all the brush. That was a really smart way to deploy the hook you tried there. Maybe could combine a mechanical partition with a soft plastic partition or something? Looking forward to seeing what you do next and good luck.

Right as I sit down for dinner, thanks Nate

I love that you love Benjamin Todd. He's my favorite artist

Whhhhuuuuun day! That's the kind of clapping I like to hear bro

“We do not want to get into any of that slottage believe it or not” 😂

This is an awesome design!

"I should test this before I paint it." Immediately paints it.

30:59 ❤ Awe, so very sweet of you Sarah.

The cup collection quip is so true!

It’s going to be a long time til I forget about Chip. I still watch with a little somber mood.

A perfect break during finals week, thank you!!!

That's a cool lure

Were going to the Pike spot. Me, OH NO!

Very nice craftsmanship! Keep up the great work!

Very pleasing paint scheme. ❤

Love the idea behind this bait! Definitely needs a revisit with a few little tweeks

ive wanted all your baits but this one takes the cake for me

This is one of the best lures I've ever seen on your channel. 10/10 mate!

All ways amazed when you pull that mesh off after and not scratching the paint with it being so tight. over paint or clear coat something comes off. nice job.

I had a similar idea for a lipless crank! Glad to see I'm not the only person in pursuit of a snagless lipless crank haha. I haven't built anything lately though, but perhaps you could give my approach a try. Basically a line thru lipless. Tie up the line thru hook like a punch jig so it pops straight out on the hook set. Magnets holding it inside.

I really love the idea of this bait. I bet it would be fantastic in a spook style bait. A slender body, and snagless. That would be a winner!

You should do a line through like some of the musky lure are❤❤❤

I’m a mechanic and because of you I learned to use super glue and baking soda to help glue stuff together in tight spots

I think this is my favorite bait so far!

I constanly forget to test mine before I paint. It usually doesn't work out near as well as that one did. Excellent addition to the course.

I just knew it was going to work. It was a great build on it anyway.

03:32 Corrosion of Conformity!!!! Hell yeah

I was just fishing with my buddy the other day using a lipless crank. I kept telling him how much I hated the lipless crank because of how the line gets stuck in the trebles and it’s always getting snagged. Of course you come out with this banger the next day, I’ve got to make one of these.😮

Very nice craftsmanship thank you for the video on to the next bait

as always mate, nice video ... If I can suggest you something, with your skills and tools I would try a hybrid lure ... a wooden body (with weight and hook support) and a softbait tail where to hide the hook and make it weedless ... cheers man ...

Would love to see you make a Nessie style bait! Like a jointed soft plastic but with some cloth in the joint to help with the action and making it thinner! Killer idea!

"I should test this before I paint"... "STARTING WITH; WHITE!" 😂😂 rolling

5:54 literally was singing that song in my head I was like “damn I can really hear them singing” 😭

Man, great idea! Pretty bait too. That was amazing how it work so well wiggle wise & weight wise. Your entertaining and funny. Glad you got it back after being all jacked up in those limbs. Going to black & white is suspenseful. Fun video. Thank you!

Amazing, I NEED one of these lures now! Truly a professional getting all the unorthodox mechanical stuff done in about an hour. 15:08 yes, we know what it was like. We've all been there.

Awesome idea Nate

I loved the concept and I sure thought it was easily be o-fish-all. Keeps with refining it. It was a beautiful paint scheme

This man just does NOT frickin miss omg

Says It's snag-less, then snags it twice 😂 she's a beaut though Nate!

thats a really cool design i have no idea how you just come up with things like this

That’s an excellent weedless crank design. Great build dude

Hearing colter wall in the shop makes me like you even more

I love watching your vids, you inspired me to make my own fishing lure. rip chip❤❤

this is the sickest lure ive seen straight up engineered this one

The cups in your shop made me go clean the ones out of my car

1:40 This sent me crying😂😂😂

I literally fell asleep to this video a couple hours ago, I had to wake up and rewind 😂😂

Feather off the back. Underspin or tinsel off the belly if you want complete madness in a bait. The mechanically innovated features could be a series of baits that would go crazy for your channel, and potentially satisfy a underwhelmed consumer base. I want to make 20 of these for my friends. Idk if this exact design is on the market, but if not, don't be surprised if it's taken. Saw a similar Japanese concept recently, but was not perfectly convinced due to the force required for hook to deploy. Get the rights immediately if it's novel. Don't wait. Great work!

That was a cool bait design!

Your wood carved/panted baits are my favorites. I think they really display your craftsmanship. Can I make a bait request? do the fossil fish Coelacanth. “Make it official.”

Quote of the month... "That's the kind of clapping I like to hear..." It's a good design overall, I have no doubt with a little refinement it will work great. I will say though, if you had the tail treble hook on as a back-up, you would have gotten several of those fish I think, but I understand the true test was the design of the hidden hook. Good Stuff. Tight Lines Nate!

that pike spot was super sweet, I'd surely fish the hell out of it

Has to be my favorite paint job... and good job Sarah on the chip carving. That looked awesome too

I've used a soft swim bait before with a magnetic hook receiver. I think what you really need is for the beast hook to be on a fulcrum and your line tied to the hook eye. That way you kind of force the hook up out of the slot when you set the hook

Every video i hear you swy something that just makes my day go to drop a like and realize ive alreays done that... Bring the multi like ability into reality

I've never wanted one to succeed more than this one. This one pulled on all the heart strings. I think you're right, the profile needs to be slimmer. The curve of the hook probably needs to be "half" of the whole profile, and the spine alllmost flat. But those would change that incredible action you got on this one.

Love the lipless crankbaitssss ❤

You gotta try that again. Such a dope idea.

For the extra hardware spots you could put skirts or blades to still have function with form

Great coffecup prelude :D

Have you ever tried barbless hooks? I feel like so many people depend on the bard to keep a fish on than actually learning how to keep the line tight and fighting the fish. Love the lures as usual! Keep up the great work Nate!

Dude make sure you have a patent on this! Always fine art!

Thank you for showing us, even when its not offishal in the end 😊

I love the paint scheme. I think it was a great idea about the hook maybe a a size bigger on the hook might work.

Nice lure. Made it 4 years ago and works fine! If you need 1 i can send you! On to the next bait.

Big thumbs for this! Invention and innovation is needed, especially as you have a lot of experience about lure making so I would suggest you to do it all the time, as you do.

Hot take, take a blow torch to the bottom bend of the fish hook without taking the entire bait apart, and make a rig out of the vice to bend the tip of the hook out. I don’t think the fish will notice the little hook pointing out, but might if the tip is too big, so just bend it out by maybe 3/4ths of an inch

Such a cool bait. The clown kihli fish would also make a fun paints scheme. Also I've asked before but a bosmani rainbowfish or peacock gudgen would make killer paint jobs

If you wanted to revise it, you could make a hollow body softbait/tpu tail end or middle section with the magnetic hook. Might get better hookups while also being better than a typical hollow softbait

HHHH-OONE DAAYY!! 🎣🤪🤙

That looks about right!

Hope you stayed safe last weekend. Great concept maybe try making the hook out the side.

Cool concept. Looks like one that will work, but will require a lot of fine tunning to do so. Maybe the problem there is that the fish bite is more like a cone than a cylinder? Then the hook point only gets out when the 'lip" of the fish presses the bait, so only when it is pretty much out of its mouth. I think you could make a sketch of the profile of a bass mouth and think how it opens and closes to get the bait to work. There are some cool slow motions on youtube that could help with that. Good look!

Loving the lost dog nod ❤

That is freaking beautiful

Glad you're not giving up on this one Nate! It just has to work. The whole time I was watching this I was thinking a little feather teaser trailer on the back empty hook hanger was needed, but by the end of it I thought you might put a treble hook there, I know that it wouldn't be snag proof anymore but it would have been ofishle.....FishOn...jimi

I always enjoy your experimental baits. They are my favorite videos.

Dad and I watched this video on which he has a few insights. before fish, wash hands scent the lure itself artificially great work! outstanding talent! Fish On! Tight Lines! ...dad says, "You're welcome." -.- 😁

Had a great action!

The most funny one day I’ve watched 😂

I was thinking the other day about a automatic hook spring loaded maybe you could make it come to life! Great vid!

A good marling vidjah to turn my day around❤

I always thought of the concept of internal hooks that are somehow activated when the fish strikes the bait but i was concerned about throat hooking the fish as the hooks might not come out until the fish had swallowed the bait. I think the concept is pretty cool. Hopefully, you'll catch one on that bait and work to perfect that concept. You could make a mint if you get it right $$$

Great color result

I laughed too hard at the " ..don't let the PIKE bite"

Love the funny clips at the end of the videos.👍

Love watching your videos keep making them (From Indiana)

This is the most wild contraption I've seen you build. 👌

Great idea! Hook clearance is a issue. Have to say it’s quiet in the shop. Miss Chip’s antics, strawberry thievery especially

thank you for uploading when i got off work, Love the content, thank you for everything! Thank you Nate for changing the bait making community
