    I've been watching Marling Baits for years now, and Nate still catches me off my guard. "Hello, I have inflamed bronchial tubes". Lol. Get better soon.

    WOAH, not going to lie, that is some of the most serious action I've ever seen from a bait. Some of your best work!!! That bait is going to catch you MONSTERS in the spring! Can't wait to see when you make this baby OMEGA-fishal. Cheers and Tight Lines! Happy New Year Nate!

    The shape of this one (fiber optics or not) it has a fullness to it that makes it look amazing. All of your baits are excellent but that one does it for me….
    Thanks for the years of content

    Beautiful work would love to see you do some salt water lure work with a single wire leader going threw the center of the lure attaching all hardware..

    Hey Nate I bought some UV resin for random projects and I gota say that stuff is excellent. I've used it in place of super glue to glue stone to wood in a quick repair job as well as fixing plastic items here and there. Thanks for introducing me to chinese UV resin so many years ago. 😂

    That Shad is wicked. First time watching, you have me hooked. World class bait.

  • @JayLee-od8ob
    @JayLee-od8ob Před 6 měsíci +4

    I might try slice the middle of the fiber and place in something that looks suspended in the dot. Maybe a small marble or something. Beautiful bait like always and thank you for the video.

      I am actually making one

  • @rkowenwyo
    @rkowenwyo Před 6 měsíci

    Nate, I got a comment for this fiber optic stuff. The material "gathers light" from the sides, and "pipes" the light to the cut ends. If you really want the material to literally shine, make a bait with it running along the spine, or backbone of the lure. Any part of the side of the fiber optic that won't have light shine on it cover with reflective foil to really intensify the light.

  • @brownbouy3043

  • @davidpritchett855
    @davidpritchett855 Před 6 měsíci +9

    So there are multiple types of fiber optic filaments. The idea is that any light that gets inside is reflected off the side walls of the tube but the outside is typically translucent so they can accumulate light down the length of the fiber optic. Think of it like a pipe made of one-way mirror material. They're often used in firearm optics bent in a U shape with the external portion of the fiber optic accumulating light and it is then emitted towards the shooter for the sights. I think this could be absolutely killer on a cigar top water bait. Run a thin fiber optic along the dorsal then through the body so that light is emitted near the attachment points of the hooks at the rear and the belly. It's always fun to add new materials to projects you're used to!

  • @ohiosteel1850
    @ohiosteel1850 Před 6 měsíci +2

    Been subbed for years. And this might top them all. Simple yet going to be extremely effective. I feel a PB coming with this one

  • @mattalden1516
    @mattalden1516 Před 6 měsíci +1

    I’m newer to the channel and the work you do is absolutely impressive! It might be cool to make a few like aquarium fish baits like an Oscar or some type of cichlid. Lots of cool colors on those guys.

  • @weta-linetv5354
    @weta-linetv5354 Před 6 měsíci

    16:37 That is sharp, clear definition. Clear coat will nicely top that off. 😊

  • @michaeljasensky5438
    @michaeljasensky5438 Před 6 měsíci +1

    Wow!! I REALLY like that bait!!!

  • @Jaxd9795
    @Jaxd9795 Před 6 měsíci +3

    I think you should put some reflective flake in the the glue you use to adhere to fiber optic filament inside the bait. That way you don't have to put paint over the end of it and dull its brightness, but you will still get whatever color you want it to be through the reflective flake.

  • @johntarver3139
    @johntarver3139 Před 6 měsíci

    I’ve watched you for about five years now and you’ve been a master at lure making. This is your best yet from movement to paint.

  • @JerseyShoreFishing
    @JerseyShoreFishing Před 6 měsíci

    Future lure build idea….X-RAY FISH lipless crankbait using clear casting resin. The composition is perfect for it. Guts can be the poured lead and painted for detail. Through wire the body and it can act as the spine. Would be a cool build to watch.

  • @dkmd9227
    @dkmd9227 Před 6 měsíci +2

    Maybe a couple of small round mirrors would be another option for providing flash?
    Best wishes for you and yours in the new year!

  • @Dansplains
    @Dansplains Před 6 měsíci

    Acrylic tube, no stuff on the outside. Works with sheets of acrylic too, the edges carry the light, the faces act as mirrors facing each other inwards. Works with glass too!

    @PaintballShyguy Před 6 měsíci +2

    Man I'm going through that throat crap too! Gorgeous bait. Clever fiber optic trick I might have to try as well! Worth looking into that's for sure.

  • @weta-linetv5354
    @weta-linetv5354 Před 6 měsíci

    20:53 A couple idea if you like. One with a bait that has the outside of the cable untouched like this beautiful one is, but add color in the epoxy mix or the cinder wall before glue up. I am so curious if that would pop. Ooor you could put glider in the epoxy mix. I don't know 😅.

  • @marshallleach1403

  • @andrewkraftchick6325
    @andrewkraftchick6325 Před 6 měsíci

    I think you should try a popping frog bait with Fibre optic in the middle of the bait..this way the light is always shining down on it. You could place several pieces together and join them with clear resin to then insert into the body of the lure. Also add translucent paint to it! Awesome work keep it up. Get well soon!

  • @liketohike
    @liketohike Před 6 měsíci +3

    Cool idea and killer bait. I was thinking that the fiber optic tubing going vertical through the bait might be another idea to try out

    • @TheDrewbacca96
      @TheDrewbacca96 Před 6 měsíci

      I was thinking the same thing. It would flash the sides if it had access from the top.

    I mean the way you did those eyes.... Trademark that s***💯💯 That bait looks and performs as good...as some of the 3,4,5 hundred dollar baits I have.. And I said that with confidence that I would spend that much on it.... I mean absolutely. Hands down you came a long way my guy.... And they just keep getting better.....👍

  • @HighToy85
    @HighToy85 Před 6 měsíci

    I like the fiber optic idea. Maybe try a swipe of a few dozen of the 1/16 size fiber down the side to make a light shimmer.

    Try and ad more flashing/blinking diods of different colors in your baits. Make them so when they are in the water they start blinking by having the ends of one of the wires sticking out from the bait. Then the water will connect the flow from the batteri.
