I have had a few request for the source of the dive bib I used in this video, here's the link:

Nice work, not many youtubers can hold my attention for a whole video, I definitely look forward to yours coming out!
Great great action! I am suprised how such a long and thin lure has such a wide wobble!
Since taking up wooden boat building I've missed so many episodes. This looks like an awesome project. And i could really do with a bite magnet.
Another nice job Franco, excellent action on this one! Appreciate your videos, I know they're a lot of work!
Thanks a lot! And yes, its a ton of work to put together one of these vids...nice to hear the appreciation. Cheers.
I love this build, so classic and elegant. Nice job!
Thank you so much!
I could have sworn in another video you where on sante fe and after this video I see I was correct! Awesome I grew up around the area and I've been watching you're videos a wile now how cool
Yes Santa Fe lake the nearest big lake to me.
NJ top water stopped bass action has been the best in 20 years you would have had a field day here the last 4 weeks
Would you be kind enough to link those premade bills. And I really enjoy all your videos. I don’t think there is one that I haven’t seen. You’re definitely my go to source of information, if I want to do something new, like chroming baits, or building the tools to do it. Thank you for bringing this community, just an astounding amount of information and technique.
Thank you so much. I'll pin a comment with the link to the bib so everyone can see it.
Been watching your channel for a couple of months now and I have really enjoyed your content. You clearly have mastered the principles of weight distribution and body sculpting with jerkbaits to have it perform that well. Take it from a guy who isn't quite there yet. Lol. Great video.
Thanks so much.
Nice one Franco, you make it look so easy.
Thanks a lot!
Love when the engineerDANGLER posts a new video!!
It's funny the captioning calls me a dangler...
classic!
Wow! Earlier this week I just went back in time and watched your videos on using foil for one of my lures. Very nice lure and video!
Glad you like them!
Very nice work!!! Love it, i will definitely keep this video in mind. I want to realize my own lure
Go for it!
Franko you make it look very easy. Another fantastic video.
Thanks 👍
Great job as always
I appreciate that
Nice.
Nice build Franco..i take chain pickerel fishin all day long , better fightin fish
Another amazing build. I have yet to foil a lure, I have a few on the table right now called "Ratlin Bob" lures and am very tempted to give it a go.
I fish in the area around Ocala and I get some on that pattern. I do the best in the darker waters with jerkbaits that I stained the wood with tie dye and coffee grounds. Yellow with a brown back and dark green with a yellowish belly are the best producers and I get a lot of giant bass on them. Lately I’ve been getting them best on 2-1/4” crankbaits but I won’t stop making my jerkbaits so I’ll be ready when the fish are😊 I think you should make a clear jerkbait with the polycarbonate layers and have a bit of foil inside and do a translucent honey yellow with a brown back. I think that would be the ultimate weapon for Florida bass.
give it a shot...it might be killer.
@@EngineeredAngler I was saying you should make one. I’ll consider making one when I come up with a cheaper material source unless I happen upon a polycarbonate window somewhere. You could prob get a good video doing one similar to the liquid deal but have a wobbly piece of foil on springs like a shimano flash boost. I know you can pull that one off.
Nice lure! I like that lip too! I've got several Rapala's that look a lot like that! And they always snag a fish!
Yes they do
Another masterpiece..love the classic lures 🍻🎣
Glad you like them!
nice looking lure
Thanks 👍
Another great video Franco. I always learn something from you
I appreciate that!
You made that look so easy, I'm going to give it a try.
Great video ++
You can do it!
That one came out great! I like the foil truck. Might have to see what I can come up with for a "knurled wheel"...
It looks just like a classic rapala floating minnow btw. I have a few really old ones I got from my grandpa. They have caught me many bass. Nice!
Yup the old ones still get it done.
Amazing 👍
Thanks 😄
very nice
Thanks
Hello, I am an amateur wood carver. Could you please share the measurements and angle degrees you used for the lure? In this way, I can make and test a lure like in the video. Thanks in advance :)
I suggest you watch many other videos of making lures. They al.ost always include all the dimensions.
Hey Franco where did you get that bib? This was a really well done video by the way. I've seen you do the top slot before but I didn't understand the why. Your explanation was perfect. I also liked that you explained how the UV-resin cures from light transferring up through the bib. I notice you use UV resin a lot instead of super glue and after I thought about it I realize I'm always frustrated by the friggin super glue running or spider webbing and getting all over the place including my fingers. Seems the UV is a lot easier to control.
AbsolutelyI use the the UV resin as glue, filler, and clearcoat. Super glue is a great tool but can be messy. Thank you for the comment.
Hi Franco. I’m just wondering what the roller tool is called you used to make the scale pattern on the foil? Another winner video! Thanks for all you do! 🎣🇨🇦👍🏻

nice work Franco, where did you get that dive bib been looking but no luck thanks

I have watched you airbrush straight from the bottle many times. Do thin your paints first? I cannot get any of my air brushes to spray paint straight from the bottle unless I thin it first. What air pressure do you use to spray? I love your videos been watching for two years and have learned a lot about lure making. Thanks.
So far every paint I have used, except Createx, sprays well straight out of the bottle. I thin the Createx paint 50% with Createx paint thinner.
Where do you buy the UV resin bottle?
Nice Video! I just discovered your channel a day ago when watching the video about Lithium batteries. I have watched several of your lure building videos & it is quite interesting. I was wondering if you would have any idea's on how to repair the Rapala ScatterRap Minnow type lures? It has a round curved lip & I can't find any lips anywhere to replace them with. The Rapala ScatterRap minnow has a problem with the lip coming out of the lure. I thought you might have some idea's on how to fashion a replacement lip. Also I wonder if anything can be done to the new lure to re-enforce it somehow so that the lip wouldn't come out in the first place? Thank you!!!
I'm pretty sure that concave lip is integral to the plastic body. That means it would be very difficult to replace it with anything. I think the only real course is to go out and buy a few more. Good luckI
That's the problem it has a balsa body & the lip is just inserted into it & falls out easily. It has happened to me about 4 or 5 times already. I wonder if I could drill a small hole through the top of it & put some kind of pin into it?
Nice work on a classic!! Where did you get that dive bib? Is it in your Amazon store?
If I remember right I got the bib from "lure parts online"
What’s your favourite uv resin ? Noticed you’ve worked with it for quite some time now
I'm using a Chinese brand, you can find it on my Amazon store.
When you use uv resin do you have to put it in that chamber I’ve seen you using?
Yes, it only hardens when exposed to UV light.
You can actually get away with using screw eyes in balsa baits. Especially if you’re making them for bass but I’ve even caught decent pike on balsa baits without a wire harness and never had an issue
Yeah...I overstated that a bit. Small freshwater baits do just fine if glued in.
Doar umas iscar pra mim queria ter pois não tenho condições financeiras pra comprar

Jou stol my trick ashol
can you show us how to make our own center pin twist locks? I was thinking how great it would be to have a twist lock forming die for a Twist Tech type wire former. Sounds like simple design patent.
I like that idea....
