Will Fish Eat a Stick? 

Please just for laughs do a bait with a soft plastic head and a wooden articulated tail. It's the worst idea I could come up with, and I'm personally quite proud

Congrats on 500k!

congrats, your lure looks exactly like a stick. hyper-realistic.

Finally, a lure I feel qualified to make!

Bro I remimber watching you when you made 100k and now your at 500k, I'm glad you dont let the sub count get to your head, your content feels super genuine, thanks

Finally, a lure that is snag proof. In the sense that if it snags, you are relieved :D

Stay home, definitely! Don't change. Your comfortable and I like to see that. Always enjoy your shows.

Woah! I'm so proud you've made it this far! I've been watching since nearly the beginning, loving every video! I have been inspired to 3D print my own lures, and get back into fly tieing. So far have had tons of fun! Hope to one day see you out there fishing! Maybe one day get ya to go fly fishing!

You’ve been working so hard on this RU-vid journey I’m so glad I was able to be apart of it thank you for giving me things to watch that are funny and educating when I come home from school have a blessed RU-vid journey

It would be a cool challenge to fish with "lost" lures. Try and rescue tangled lures and reuse them.

Congratulations on 500k! You deserve 500k more.

As a self proclaimed expert of making sticks into lures, I say nicely done!

I can't believe you only have 500k. You totally deserve 10 times that.

Been around since the early days. ( The no talk videos) LoL. Keep up the great work. You are a Master of your craft

Been enjoying your vids since the beginning when you didn't even talk! Taught me a lot about (superglue and baking soda) fishing lures and the art of building and painting. Thank you and keep it up!

“…and I just freakin eaglenested it” Made me laugh way more than it should have

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a Shiner wake bait/Pinfish surfcasting lure. My birthday 🎂 is tomorrow and it would nice to watch a video about one of those lures as a belated birthday gift 🎁☺😊😄 Love your videos 👍

Goated for the simplest yet most entertaining can’t wait for 1 million

Man I remember before 50k it’s been a hell of a ride thx for the laughs,good times and grate content

Hell Yes! Manic Monday is chilled by a 500k special. Preserve the essence of stick, Nate! The day is better when Marling posts!

Love the channel and always look forward to the next video. Please make a crawfish bait ! Not just a standard crank bait that looks like a crawfish, but one that flicks it’s tail like a real crawfish. You can do it!!!

I really appreciate that you don't have random sponsors on your videos. We all know you don't play Raid Shadow Legends. We all know you don't use NordVPN. Thank you for not lying to us and telling us you do. Although, if you were to take a sponsor for a product you ACTUALLY use and recommend, I don't think anyone would mind.

I really enjoyed the Q&A - thank you

here I am watching the places you go fish as a Minnesotan wondering where all the water is, I'm so used to so much more water, lakes, rivers, ext. and there all several feet deep

Keep making videos love the content. You entertain and more importantly, drive me to pursue my passions. Thank you and congrats on the success

There was a decent blue cat in that private pond the last time I was there. My dad caught it on father's day last year.

I've never seen a better looking stick .. Great Job...

Yo my man congratulations on your success I hope you have a good fulfilling life my friend

Content king😎 never re-watched the entirety of a channel in consecutive sittings before. but this is value and talent

congratulations, well deserved, great skill and likability with your easy manner

Been here for years MB MUCH LOVE!!!!!

Been here since 40k, congrats!!! Love your videos👍

A lot of rc boats have contacts that need be in water or they won't power on, you could use those for a bait with leds so you weren't wasting battery when it wasn't in use

You should do just regular fishing videos too. It would be awesome to watch you use all of these creations and just catch fish. You could even make a marlin fishing channel and run two different ones. Would be awesome

you should make a pumpkinseed sunfish bait

You should make a scuba diver bait or a manta ray! Loved the 500k special btw!

That lady kinda killed my vibe, "Waddid ya catch" 😂

I need a pond in my life like Jesse Pond. I throw everything back so I just want to give them a sore lip lol and have fun with my son 3yo

That one crazy whisker is really getting to me, lol.

Grats on the 500k. With the LED idea - Angler fish!

I was hoping for a short clip of your sharpener during the advertisement talk around the 30:00 min mark. lol. keep up the great content and awesome lure making.

Man does NOT!!!! Want to travel LOL

You couldn’t have answered my dream fish to catch question any better! I hope you get your nightmare fish.

Taking home the dirt chips had me chuckling with covid thanks man

Have you thought of using neodymium magnets in a two piece to help the action?

I hate fishing but enjoy your channel. Happy 500K!

Proves that you can catch fish on an actual stick, continues to make the most detailed lures known to mankind.

Can you please please make a flowerhorn lure I think it be so cool to see you make one

Congratulations!!! Ive been loving every single one of your videos. I currently live somewhere i cannot easily fish so your videos are keeping me sane! I’m still waiting for that edible gummy/chocolate lure ;) much love!

Congrats on 500k man! On to 1 mil

Congrats man,you are really making a life from a talent

Naughty naughty Baitmaker 🤣🤣

Love that lure! I caught a few of those!

Make a lure out of a mixture of sawdust and glue. Like make a compressed block to carve .

Fly fishing is slow pased for trout but you can fly fish for anything and when you fly fish for bass pike musskees sharks everything you can catch on a conventional fishing setup you can catch on fly rod

When he said “ wadcha catch” 😂😂😂😂😂

I have a small DIY robotics-electronics-build channel. Let me know if you need some help on the electronics. And thanks for the quality content. Haven't missed a video since you made that black water beetle.

most entertaining fishing channel I've come across. "sticks like sticks"

I think when the fishing slows down you should just cut to Chip walking around the yard doing Chip stuff. 14/10 would watch more. Congrats on 500k!

Man i have such a hard time catching pike in and around London. Seeing you catch a small fish with a stick as big as the fish is mind blowing for me. 🤷🤯😭😭

oooo he got dem birdies!!!!

Was they baking soda in that wood container, or danish sea salt.?

I love your videos and I tried to make my own fishing or but I didn’t get to really paint it and I don’t have the tools because I’m only at eight-year-old kid so I didn’t get to sand or anything but I just cut it and it worked perfectly and I subscribe to your channel

I love this one. My brother and I caught a bass on a lure we built. A hook with two beer bottle caps

From somewhere under the surface, "Hey guys! The block of wood bozo is back!" "Where's Chuck?" "Chuck's dead, remember, he tried to eat a golfball." "Where's Chuck Jr.?"

Isn't that about right. I have seen you carve the most realistic looking bait, and catch nil, Nada nothing. But they were beautiful baits, and would've caught plenty of fish, and fishermen. Then you literally build a frigging stick bait. Out of a frigging stick. Catch 3 species of fish. That's about right. You can carve perfect replicas out of the most exotic or easily carved ,sealed E. V. Light, and all the bells and whistles. Catch squat. But I have learned in my long life of being a fisherman that a commercialy built bait has to usually catch more fishermen than fish. God bless you and your loved ones Stay safe Godspeed

Congratulations! Love your stuff. How many subs are here just for Chip?

I just started watching this channel and I love it. I really want to get into bait making now like I spent an hour walking around harbor freight looking at sanders and bandsaws. I've been waiting on the edge of my seat to see a new bait video. Literally watched all the other videos and what's the first one that gets posted after I subscribe? "WiLl FiSh EaT a StIcK?" Beautiful comedic timing, couldn't be better 1000/10 I'll be trying to recreate this as my fist bait.

Enjoy the videos. Especially the silent ones

Radioactive spider bait...NEEDS TO BE MADE!!!!!

make them out of paintbrush handles, for beginners.?

Gosh I love this guy

I want that red and green lure on the shelves behind you bro

I have an idea. How about a jointed swim bait that looks like 2 spotted shad swimming together. One in front of the other but are actually one jointed swim bait. Just a thought, one fisherman to another. You never know until you throw.

Perfect toonage for the trek montage

Can you make a card board top water!!

Best stick bait I've ever seen

2 treble hooks fully embedded past Barb in thumb and pointer finger.

Congratulations on 500k.

Congrats on 500k! Make a pleco catfish lure! (Armored catfish)

Make a baby wiper lure!!

Hey marlin try to make a mirrorcarp lure

“What ya eatin’?” “What ya got?”

@marlingbaits Is the channel unpluggedleadpot another channel of yours or someone else using your content??

Marling baits...please go to the Florida Alabama area and do a one day with AnglerUp with Brant and side kick camera man Ron...I'll accommodate yall one night...check out there channel...theyll get you on some Jack Crevales Red Sheephead and Mangrove snappers...it would be so fun

You could bring your friends some "fish sticks" for snacking!

I don't know if it's possible but could you make a fluke in the shape of a River Dolphin. it would by interesting to here the fun facts about River Dolphins

Seriously thought. How many species can you catch with sticks?

A lure made of bone would be really cool

Dude I love your vids, keep it up!

Congrats to 500k subs 🎉🥳🥳🥳

I buy a bag of plastic bugs from the 1$ store and put these "fish eye" hooks thru and superglue it. I use nail polish to make em shiny, also 1$. I'd worry a stick would get worn or the hooks soak out... but thats cool, and better for the environment! :DD

Should have put one of the led's in the anglerfish antenna

It's official, Marling baits likes sticks as well, seeing as how you hooked the heck outta your finger there... Lol

I've always wondered about this

nice Stwick Bait dude

You should make a lure out of dirt, baking soda, and super glue!

It looks like a Caddisfly larva too though ;)))

Twitch bait? I think it's more of a "STICK" Bait?😋😏😂😂

Stick bait catches stick fish , makes sense to me 😂👍
