Creating the Master? Well isn’t that you already Paul…I think so! Nice work brother, you’ve inspired me again! Thanks, and regards from Cam of Ontario, Canada eh?! PS- I love the triangle bracket you put in on the tail…I mean, that is good thinking. Way to use your loaf! You’ve got an engineers brain. Little things that make a world of difference, are the things that keep jets in the air.
Não entendi uma só palavra mas achei muito legal e só de olhar dá pra aprender. 👍
This was brilliant. Looks like far more fun that actual fishing, tbh. Cheers.
wow! very nice amazing creativity my fried
your skils is very good tynx for sahring
now i have a new concept to make my
own softbait
wow, what an ingenious, creative and subtle use of materials for creating the master. I'm impressed!
! Exactly what a lure should do, put fish in the boat. allabout.wiki/k8us?….. This really excites the bass and they crush it.
I’ve been watching your videos, this one put me over the edge. Subbed 👍🏻, can’t wait for the next video. Those baits look great. Trout and red fish would love them!
Learn how to make it yourself with all details. Just look for woodprix 🙂
What was all the wire mesh for? It looks like you sanded the final master extremely smoothe…..down to 2000 grit so I am just wondering what all the wraping with the wire was about.
Neat looking bait. Very professional looking.
Wow awesome swimbait man! These would work great where i live in the states for walleyes! Cannot believe anyone would thumbs down your video?! Love the perch collored one! The red ones are nice too! One of my favorite swimbaits was a strawberry red with silver fleck and it had a white twister tail. They discontinued them and i cant find them now. Ughh i used to alternate between paddletails and twister tails. Something about a swimbait body with a twister tail the walleyes just love it! They like the paddletails too dont get me wrong. These were by riverside lures yum infused seaside minnows they were called. Black shad. The strawberry red with white tail was called the samurai tail by riverside yum. Now known as the mud minnow but the colors aren't the same anymore. Wish they would bring back the seaside minnnows!! Good stuff man! Thanks! Fish on!!
