Thanks for the tutorial on the your Smelt lure. I just finished my first ever carving of a Striper. Your carving of the master smelt pattern has given some good ways to finish my new speckled trout carving. I have looked at all of you videos for the last few years and have gotten many great ideals! Thanks again! Bob Fern USA
Hello Mikko, greetings from Peru again... after watching your video and passion that you put on your work I have to say that it was awesome. I really enjoyed a lot the time that I spent last night watching this video. Every detail was recorded step by step when carving the piece of wood to convert it into an incredible lure for your mold. Seriously I will try to began to do some of these soft lures following the process, which I realize that I will love it. I have already found and bought the resins here in Lima some weeks ago, so I'm almost ready to do my tries. After doing my first messes, I will look for you to get some tips to fix my mistakes. Please, let me congratulate for your unique and extraordinary work...
Thanks james i have a feeling those dislikes are from my number one fans aka trolls. when your in the game as long as i have you get a few of those on the way.
Hey I was wondering if you have ever tried using alginate to make your parting line for the two part molds instead of claying up the first mold side? I found this material very helpful for speeding up my 2 part molds.
HAHAHAH! Your humor is so awesome! Really enjoy your videos and commentary. Its a little bit off topic, what is the background music?? its so good! Please say you or someone you know makes it. Around 10 minutes. Great music and great lure making!
@@SolarfallBaits Thats okay, it was a long time ago. you have good music tase as well as taste baiting. ;) Im a handmade lure maker from Australia, would love to swap some tips and lures. is there any chance you would be interested??
That shouldn’t be used near water, it should be in a museum for modern art! From one lure maker to another, you have created a thing of beauty, and I salute you.
Yes itd plastisol the type of paints i use dont require dipping you just paint and go fishing with the baits. In case your wondering what paints they are i use cab coatings soft paints.
Enjoyed watching your video. It hurts to see you carving with a craft knife. They are not really very sharp, so I am impressed what you can do with something I consider junk, as it relates to carving. Wonderful inspiring lures.
The craft knife is use has changeable blades that are extremely sharp to a point where you could probably do surgery with them if you wanted to, i prefer them over everything else i've tried thru out the years while making lures.

What is the formula of liquid silicone you use for silicone fish?
Super inspiring and an awesome lure by the looks of it! Did you clear coat the Master in any way, or did you just fine sand it, before you poured the mold?
hello! i must say i am impressed with your skills and the time you take to make your baits perfect! i am a lurebuilder myself and have making poppers and other stuff from age of 13 and i must say you are very good at what you do! greatings from sweden! :D
thanks alot for the kind words and i surely will keep it up ;) the material i used in this video is not wood but a synthetic material called obomodulan
This is my favorite of your videos. How long is this bait? Im working on a 20cm smelt myself. As sort of a "perfect size" baitfish, or a big downsize lure. Would love to know the weight and lenght of this one.
Also maybe you have some input... I'm trying to create a mold of an old soft plastic swimbait that isn't made anymore. It's got a few small fins on it, and I'm having trouble capturing them along with all of the detail in the bait. Is there a certain type of silicone I should be using for a job like this?
Do you sell baits? I would love to get my hands on these. They look like little pile minnows aka striper candy for the striped bass here. Love the videos!
You need a bandsaw... Let me know if you still need one, I will gladly buy one and send it through amazon... Unless you are out of America... Then Maybe Ebay. I guess... Cool video!
@@sixeladel7275 ah you mean an air vent. There are air vents for the fins that i made later on. I forget if they show up in the video or not ( im too lazy to check lol)
@@SolarfallBaits ok, you did it big you're event?, I like your way to run by the tail I have to try, because I run back my lure back, with a simple mold shell puts the plastic retracts a lot at the back
"Like a gynecologist" Haha! Dude you're one of the best, love watching to get inspired to go mold and pour baits!

Very great work! Congratulation! What airbrush paint do you use to color the lure?
it amazes me that anyone would press the dislike button on this . great craftsmenship ! cool videos !
Thanks james i have a feeling those dislikes are from my number one fans aka trolls. when your in the game as long as i have you get a few of those on the way.
i just subscribed for your great job !!!
So amazing bro..good job..

Great work Marko
Great job .
This might be a 2yr old video, but still a great learning piece
Thoroughly enjoyed.
love thes nice work
hell yeah looked killer
HAHAHAH! Your humor is so awesome! Really enjoy your videos and commentary.
Its a little bit off topic, what is the background music?? its so good!
Please say you or someone you know makes it.
Around 10 minutes. Great music and great lure making!
You know what i really have no recollection where i got that music from but i guess it was some royalty free stuff i found from the internet.
@@SolarfallBaits Thats okay, it was a long time ago. you have good music tase as well as taste baiting. ;)
Im a handmade lure maker from Australia, would love to swap some tips and lures. is there any chance you would be interested??
good day
What material was used for the bait model?
copuld you not as well make the lure out of closed cell foam or would the foam melt when making the mould?
That shouldn’t be used near water, it should be in a museum for modern art! From one lure maker to another, you have created a thing of beauty, and I salute you.
thanks david your kind words are much appriciated
Amazing ❤️
Nice Work!!!
ABSURD - DISGUSTING - SICK! there is only ONE Mikko! love it brother!
nice to see you back on youtube skip
thx Mikko
good work!
Awesome video
Love watching your video. Is that actually pieces of Lego used for your mold frame?
Unfortunately, I discarded my Lego sets more than 40 years ago.
yep those are legos, i was fortunate to grow up with them so i get to play with them in my adult years too
Can you please tell me what kind of wood is that?
I think it's time for you to purchase a scroll saw awesome lure
Is good id my wooden lure with a lip turns side to side, but has no tail action?
Nice very nice I'll bet the Pike smash them up.
Think I'll subscribe to this channel.
my friend, please tell me if you can buy it ?? or tell me what it is still used for? I did not sleep at night, I could not find it
Wow. Great video. New subscriber here. The plastic that you used for the bait is plastisol? Did you dip the bait again after the paint job?
Yes itd plastisol the type of paints i use dont require dipping you just paint and go fishing with the baits. In case your wondering what paints they are i use cab coatings soft paints.
... very nice. Thanks

Did you clear coat the Master in any way, or did you just fine sand it, before you poured the mold?
oh yes i forgot to mention that in the video but i did spray paint the master with some clear acrylic varnish before i made the mold.
It looked like it ;) thx for the info.
Canal TRENS DE PESCA - Brasil - Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho, aprendo muito vendo seus vídeos!
2.50- it would probably go faster if you use a rasp to shape it and then clean it off with the dremel thingy. But you seem to like that thing :))
What rod and reel did you use?
Nice job =)
hello! i must say i am impressed with your skills and the time you take to make your baits perfect! i am a lurebuilder myself and have making poppers and other stuff from age of 13 and i must say you are very good at what you do! greatings from sweden! :D
thanks for the kind words Daniel, much appreciated
you are wecome! can i bye this lure from you? or maybe trade? haha :P
man you deserve more subs. i love your vids. keep it up! I may have missed it but what wood did you use?
thanks alot for the kind words and i surely will keep it up ;) the material i used in this video is not wood but a synthetic material called obomodulan
Can you liken it to carving balsa? Or a harder wood? Just curious as to the ease of using it. But you're welcome!
this stuff comes in various densities, the kind i have is very close to hardwood like birch
hmm do you know the hardness? i have checked on the website and i don't which one to choose: www.obo-werke.de/en/products/obomodulanr-pu-boards.html
Ales Horvat im quite sure mine is 500 dencity
Old video but I still "need" to know, do you clear dip them after the painting or will it stick enough?
I dont dip my soft baits
Uaaaau !....SUPER !!!
What do you use to clean your softbaits before painting them?
Glenn Goovaerts dish washing soap
This is my favorite of your videos. How long is this bait? Im working on a 20cm smelt myself. As sort of a "perfect size" baitfish, or a big downsize lure. Would love to know the weight and lenght of this one.
25cm and weighs around 100g

first of all thanks for watching. i mostly use mold max 30 and been very pleased in how it captures details such as you see in the video.
Thanks for helping make the learning curve steeper! I'll give the mold max 30 a try. Thanks for the quick response!
best video ever
haha well i don't know about "the best video ever" but thanks anyway ;)
What paint are you using to paint soft plastics? Great vid btw
aleethao1 i use cad coatings soft paint
Ever thought about mounting your jigsaw upside down so you can use it like a bandsaw?
I have thought about it how ever it might be little too dangerous
Do you sell baits? I would love to get my hands on these. They look like little pile minnows aka striper candy for the striped bass here. Love the videos!
i do sell sometimes. dont really have too much "free time" to make much I'm afraid as i do have a normal day job that eats up the motivation
Then quit your normal day job
Dude I have to buy a skinny smelt!!
tell me what paint paint?
You need a bandsaw... Let me know if you still need one, I will gladly buy one and send it through amazon... Unless you are out of America... Then Maybe Ebay. I guess... Cool video!
Do you sell them baits or have you thought about it. I would love to get my hands on some. I would definitely buy some
sometimes but not very often. i usually do that in my facebook group (solarfallbaits finland) or on ebay
Hey have you ever thought of using smooth on ecoflex 00-30 for soft baits it's a soft stretchy tough silicone. Iv just ordered some to try
actually never heard of that stuff, might be worth looking into for plastisol
Apparently it's on par with the plastic zman make their baits from
www.smooth-on.com/product-line/ecoflex/
where this paint is primed?
cool video
What # OBO Modulan are you using?
I'm using the one that's has 500 density
Yes top show
Are these for sale ?
Very cool
What kind of wood is used?
No wood was used in the making of this lure.
@@SolarfallBaits I understand .. I am asking about the type of wood you used in the first video
Well like i said i didnt use wood, i mention in the video that the material i used is synthetic stuff called obomodulan.
do you have a channel called skallgrim as you both sound the same?
Im subbed to his channel im not the same guy though lol
What was that material u used again to make the Skinny Smelt master?
obomodulan
superb lure, the plastic happens to be filled in the fin, the fact that you have not done the auvant?
Im sorry but i dont understand what you mean by auvant
@@SolarfallBaits sorry I meant, events at the nivrau of the nag, so that the air escapes.
@@sixeladel7275 ah you mean an air vent. There are air vents for the fins that i made later on. I forget if they show up in the video or not ( im too lazy to check lol)
@@SolarfallBaits ok, you did it big you're event?, I like your way to run by the tail I have to try, because I run back my lure back, with a simple mold shell puts the plastic retracts a lot at the back
How did you learn how to do this stuff?
i guess same as everyone else who makes lures, trial and error and researching what others people did before me.
What kind of wood did you use for this bait?
Its not wood but a synthetic material called obo modulan. It's only available for industry use as far as i know
Can you please tell me what the material is your carving on I cant catch what you are calling it?
Obo modulan. Wood is perfectly acceptable as well i just had this lying around so i decided to use it
Is it possible to purchase some of the molds that you do?
No i dont sell them, its not hard to do them anyway as you see from the video
how many days it takes to carve one of this ??
maybe a week or so.
äijä on kyl kätevä käsistä, huhuh hienoja on
You have me cracking up on 15:00
what's color.
