Will Fish Eat a Ball of Wood? 

“It smells like a flower”, That’s why they call it “Rose” wood. Now stop your fooling around, and make me a narwhal lure. Nice job, I’ll admit, you got ball. Be well my friend.

marling baits is truly the face of innovation

Every time he catches a fish and says “it’s oFISHal” keeps me coming back every video 😂

Nobody: Nate: it's official, bass like *balls*

Imagine being the guy who makes instruments with this really pretty and expensive wood, and then he goes and watches Marlin make a literal ball out of it.

The most expensive sought after wood in the world... let’s make a ball.😂

EVERY OTHER FISHING RU-vidR: INSANE FISHING CHALLENGES MARLING BAITS: Fishing with GRAPE

"I have some weird stuff, like Spotted Gum wood" *looks out my window at the Spotted Gum leaning over my neighbors fence* "You're weird"

Make an eyeball lure with some veins flailing at the back

My mans catching fish with wood and I can’t catch a fish with my 20 dollar lures

U should make a “will fish eat a pyramid of wood?!”

“Better then the block that only caught bass. This caught smallmouth”...who’s gonna tell him?

This man is starting to lose his mind. He's even starting to look like Tom Hanks in castaway

6:44 Don't do this! I recently drilled into my finger with a tiny drill bit like that and destroyed the nerve. I even have the same drill as you. Be safe, drill brother.

Hey man just found you today and loving it! I'm an avid fisherman and lure maker myself. I've always wanted to make a baby bass boat lure so the fish could get revenge. Just wondering if you would give it a shot. I would like to see your concept ideas sure. I bet others would enjoy it too.hope to see a video soon. Matt from Tx.

Maybe a feathered treble would give it a little something more.

Just wondering who else is slightly annoyed that the comment section has moved

Guy: *send really expensive wood* Marling Baits: "Let's make a ball with it!"

will a fish eat a rhombicosidodecahedron?

I'm glad I found your channel. The knowledge you have of the woods you use is great. Shows that you have passion for your work.

It's official: fish like b a l l s

"This is sought after wood... let's use it". Does that mean you have the most expensive wooden ball in the world?

Nate: "IQ 10,000 moment right here." Also Nate: *breaks off big chunk immediately after saying that*

When it cracked I heard my guitar whimper from across the room

The Wood Is Called Purple Heart.

Considering the shape of the ball just before he cuts the ends off I think it’s time for a TIE FIGHTER lure!

Fish like purple balls. Any chance of a Murder Hornet lure for us Washington folk?

1:32 after he showed us that, Next video : I got robbed And they only took the wood

In 1992, Brazilian rosewood was added to the CITES treaty, strictly banning its exportation. I remember a few guitar companies, including Gibson, being raided and getting in trouble, paying some heavy fines, for having a bunch of illegal Brazilian Rosewood a few years ago. --- The coolest thing I ever caught a fish with was a fly I made using a bit of red/white Christmas tinsel I found in the woods (for the body), a bluejay feather (for wings), and a beard hair (for legs). On the first cast, at the base of a small waterfall, I cause a Dolly Varden Trout. It destroyed my fly, but I had a nice trout dinner.

This is so simple but makes so much sense to me! In North Carolina we use to free line muscadine grapes for catfish because there was a vine of them that use to hang over the water and the catfish would eat them as they fell into the water

Should have used “ballsa” lol

There’s a phallic shaped lure in wish app that has really good action. Can you make your own version? Side note: how come you use my name as a curse word substitute?

not gonna lie, I've never heard anyone say "ouch" with something cold before ;-P i have so many "first times" with Marlin Baits

This was the first video I ever watched on this channel, and I'm glad I did.

Man that’s some beautiful wood, and you used it on a “ball of wood” fishing lure. 😂 it’s like making a tooth pic out of gold

Me: Spends hours throwing all types of baits, never gets anything. Marling baits: Catches fish on a literal ball.

Me: spending a crap ton on expensively lures Marlingbaits: lemme use a wooden ball Me: 0 fish Marking baits:17362771 fish

It's Official: Bass Like Buckeyes

Nice drill face. 🤪 Hahaha! You should have seen my face when you cracked your ball! 😲 "You the man Dan!" 😉

Hey man I have a tip to make a ball real quick. Your a whole saw without the drill bit inside and drill. It while the lathe is on and you get a perfect ball! 😁 Your welcome

Well he is a bait maker , ain't gonna argue for using a rare type of wood for that bait HAHAHAA Cheers from Malaysia 🔥

5:45 Star Wars fans will see it!

Is it just me, or does hearing the phrase "One Day" always make your day?

IQ 10000 moment, bait cracks immedeitly after he says that.😂💀

These videos are so chaotic and I love it!

"Wow I just kinda turned black right there"~Marling Baits 2020

“I don’t want a really big ball, either!” - no man... ever.

I challenge you to make a wooden hook !!! I would like to see a professional wooden hook.

It looks like a very delicious grape. The fish will be mellow for this. I guess the fish know the deliciousness of the grapes😂

Nate: caught fish Nate: it OFFICIAL

Can u do a lure like the one in sponge bobs house?

14:22 "It has more action that I thought that it"ll WOOD". I see what you did there. And now, a lure idea: Make a lure out of sawdust. Like the sawdust you brush and throw away after making other lures. Just collect enough of it, mix it with a bit of resin, cast/cut/model it into a lure shape (around 3 inch [7-8cm]), clear coat it or paint it, I'll leave this one up to you and try to catch some fish with it. And as a small helpful hint about that idea, you could try to "cast it" in one of your molds, so it'll better retain the fish shape. I'd love to see you try this. But if you think it's too much of a hassle, feel free to let me know in the comment section below :)

I still think a three-piece humpback whale would be kind of cool to see.

oh man - Brazilian Rosewood. Yes, it is a hard wood, fairly oily and used for stringed instrument fretboards. It's prohibited from being shipped internationally. I almost cried seeing all that sawdust because right now I literally need some rosewood sawdust for fixing some spots on a Les Paul fretboard. The color of it can vary quite a bit, so some of your stock might be more brown if it came from different trees or different parts of the tree etc. If you happen to see this and could spare like a 1" x 1" piece, I live in the neighboring metropolis of Cedar Rapids

Imagine if someone said *"what bait are you using?"* lol 😂

“You think a ball will do this?” **waves at camera**

I'm surprised you haven't invested in a pair of waders.

So you can tell when your “wood” has been in another mans “shop”?? 😂🤣

Might try it under a bobber. It would resemble a fish egg. These are used in soft plastics for steelhead all the time.

That’s right ! This Brazilian wood it’s very soft and good to work with 🙂

This wood smells like someone else's shop. "Were you cheating on me?!"

Does he sell his baits and if so where can I get one.

Can we just take a second to appreciate how this guy can catch fish on a ball of wood

im super curious how you get the super glue off your fingers when applying it to lures.... please answer LOL

*"It's Ah-Fishyall!"*

I wonder if fish will bite a leather lure.

This thing would KILL carp feeding on mulberries

When will we see the t-shirt: “Bite the Ball”

Looks like a muscadine after the clear coat. Cool stuff. I wonder if I made one golf ball textured how it would effect it. Maybe larger dents cause a heavy sway or shake

He has to be the most creative lure maker in world, your vids are awesome

This is the first lure I think I could make

Me: My fear is one days. My therapist: One days aren't real they cant hurt you. Marling Baits: ONE DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This man is fishing with a grape

I have a rosewood neck on the guitar that I built. So to confirm. Yes. It’s used for guitars and other instruments because it emits this beautiful warm tone.

“Ball of little wood” haha. Victory for the Grape lure

In the theme odd lures, you should make a potato chip spoon. Maybe with ridges or Pringles style. Could be neat.

Thanks for confirming this. I will be fishing soon with a plain bobber as my topwater lure.

Make a veggie lure. Like a carrot or a corn on the cob.

Just discovered your channel. I amazed at your skill in making lures. You just got a new sub. Please keep making these very enjoyable videos.

Do you have any lures for sale. I've been hooked 🎣 on your videos for about a month and I'm absolutely impressed. Keep up the fascinating work bud👏

Smallmouth like balls of little wood. That has me laugh crying in the breakroom.

Make a lure out of hedge it is a very dense wood, it would probably be like iron wood but it’s a very pretty yellow/orange... also know as Osage orange in some parts

"it smells like a flower" maybe trees are flowers lol I had to be the guy to point that out smh..

The ball of wood looks like a wax cherry,and that's why you are catching fish😊👌

I had a steel guitar made from purpleheart, a very beautiful rosewood-looking Brazilian species. Your wood may be purpleheart.

The fastest I’ve ever clicked on a vid

I saw the last time you made a clear wooden lure that the lead hole with baking soda leaves a grey spot on the "belly". If you want to make it look even neater you could try to use some of the sanding dust to cover it up. I have never tried it myself but it might even work to mix the sanding dust directly with the baking soda or completely substitute it. Keep up the great work :)

“BALLS”! Said the Queen, If I had Two I’d be KING!

He can smell wood and tell where it came from. He's the wood whisperer.

Can y’all imagine looking through his tackle box.. like dude what kind of lures do you have lol

"it doesn't look like a beetle, it looks like a ball of wood" ~Small Mouth Bass

This is ridiculous, I can't catch fish even with badass expensive lures half the time lmao.

It’s oFISHal, we like Marling baits.

Marling baits: makes a fancy insanely detailed swim bait Also Marling Baits: what if I painted a wooden ball red

Favorite RU-vid channel

What no more “BE FREE” when turning loose?

That lure looks exactly like a grape! Lol

“It’s official” shirts coming soon?

one of the big lure companies made a spinner bait where there was a ball instead of blades. Thinking now they needed to put hooks on the ball section.

I very much so enjoy doing high quantities of acid and watching your videos
