    I really like your template idea for bending the wire.

      Thanks! It's great if you need to make a lot of identical lures.

    I make a 8" mullet lure very similar. Not sure if you have thought about it but on lures that size I use a bearing guided roundover bit on a router table. You are an outstanding craftsman. You really set the bar high.

      I actually have tried the roundover bit. I think that is an excellent choice, especially if you are making a bunch of lures. I personally think the router is one of the scariest tools I have!

    Did myself a favor and bought myself a 9” bandsaw this last week for my Birthday- man what a difference it makes in getting consistent lures! Now it seems weird spending 1/10th of the time cutting out lures, and getting better results. Love watching your approach to making these lures! Your videos have helped me a lot. BTW- have you found any place to get spare parts for your master airbrush? I broke the fluid nozzle on mine, awhile back and its DOA now.

    • @zimmtex
      @zimmtex  Před 3 lety

      Hey Tor! Glad to hear about your new bandsaw. I haven't tried looking for airbrush parts. I dropped mine on the nozzle once, but it landed at just the right angle where it missed the needle. Good luck to you in your lure making journey and thanks for watching!

    This was very informative to me. Thanks......Have you tried using UV cure resin in place of epoxy for top coats? It cures in minutes.....

    • @zimmtex
      @zimmtex  Před 2 lety +1

      I haven't tried UV resin. I like the idea of faster curing, but I would need to build a UV chamber first. Might be a cool future project. Thanks for your support!

    Hello. Nice tutorials. I have watch all your films many times.
    Im New to building lures. And have difficult to find supply here in Sweden.
    I have checked all the supply u use. And the Most of them have " Currently unavailable "
    Im searching silicone rubber for molds. White and clear resin.
    And holographics vinyl.
    And the insta cure super glue.
    Hope you can help me . /niklas

      @zimmtex  Před 3 lety +1

      First, thank you for watching and for your support! Sorry to hear you are having a hard time finding supplies. I too have been running into some of that and have been looking at different brands. For insta cure, you could use super glue or another brand that is cyanoacrylate. Hopefully stuff will get back in stock soon.

    • @zimmtex
      @zimmtex  Před 3 lety +1

      The CA glue soaks into the wood surface and plasticizes it. Technically that's all you need, but sometimes I use a high build sandable automotive primer over that to get an ultra smooth surface.

    Do you not use any leader? Aren't there both pike and musky in your waters?
    Over here almost everyone use a leader, even the perch hunters, most of them. Just because they don't want to loose their 15$ plastic bait.
    Yours bait is a Picasso, I would hang myself if I had lost it. I'm in Sweden btw. Love you very explanatory videos, great info for me as I'm venturing into building baits. I'll probably go the resin route, pouring them baits. Have some such experience so feels more correct than carving every bait.
    Looking comment!! Anyway love your vids keep on going, with a fluorocarbon leader!!

    • @zimmtex

      I don't have pike or musky here, so no risk of loosing one because of teeth. I agree and would reccomend it for those fish for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting!
