  1. naturally the master was done by me but if were totally honest there is not that many innovative things that are "original" with the design that i did, wanted to make something that would work for sure.
  2. so yeah i finally went and did my very first soft plastic jigs. they have a internal weigh inside of them. basically a very crude construction with a wire with a led ball colors are very basic too since i dont have any paints yet but i guess time will come for that too, they should work for pike.
  3. Happy saturnalia, winter solstice, Christmas, Kwanza from ice cold Finland, hope everyone will have a nice time with there loved once.
  4. no broblemos guys, i do them just for fun and seems like other builders are more or less secretive and don't want to share there techniques, i found it being little bit arrogant and especially for beginners i though it would be a nice way to get into the hobby more when you don't have to learn everything by trial and error. over here in Finland there are a lot of good tutorials in books/ magazines and websites but since they are in Finnish most of the guys outside Finland don't really get to see them or find them.
  5. i know it looks pretty odd
  6. i was using a oiless compressor before and it was cooled by air and sounded horrendous when i had it on, i mean good grief it was loud. i later on invested to a oil cooled compressor ( hansa thc 20a) and its virtually soundless even when its on its very hard to hear so i can use it in my apartment without annoying the neighbors, its kinda expensive but with the features you get with it, i think its worth it
  7. alright i went all out with this next one its a 40 min long video of how to carve a topwater lure from start to finish, i've been asked to make one for since..well since i started making youtube videos so i finally caved in and did it lol. enjoy
  8. thanks guys im currently already making plans for a second swimbait model, it should be pretty epic
  9. finished couple more swimbaits, just had an inspiration and felt compelled to make these.. best once so far i would say
  10. thanks ben hopefully i will go trough atleast most of the common color combos in this video series, its mostly directed at newbies
  11. i personally use 10 minute epoxy, you could try to get rid of the bobbles by hearing the epoxy with a heat gun or just stir the mixture very very slowly but still making sure it mixes, that's what i do now a days and i get hardly any bobbles, Envirotex and casting resins wont work here if your no using a mold. also if you have access to a pressure pot you can always collapse the bobbles under pressure, those things tend to be rather expensive and "normal" lure builders usually don't have them.
  12. part 2 is up let me know what you want me to paint next
  13. yo i've started a new "paint with" series on youbute check it out

    the pink bad pike

    so i decided to go for a different route with this one, its most likely gonna be an auction lure for a benefit auction hold on one of the fishing forums that i go to

    mini tail jerk V2

    it looks cool but it takes 1 hour to do just one side with that small scale pattern, when the upper one takes 20 minds for me to do both sides

    mini tail jerk V2

    pretty cool, like the fact that it looks different than the normal pike patterns

    black widow

    i was asked to do a black widow themed lure so this was what i was able to come up with

    Funky Gill

    its true, the stencil does make all the difference in doing the scales this way
  21. thanks guys, there are still lots of combos out there that i want to give a try maybe the next once i will do will not be as bright
  22. not much to say about these once, just wanted to experiment with contrast once more
  23. solarfall

    roach glider

    not much to say about this, i think it came out pretty nice
  24. that is still something i have to test still ,i could always add reinforcement stainless steel rings inside the joints to add more strength to the joints if it seems that i need it, but so far it seems that i cant brake the joints when i'm twisting them with all the strength i have, i use smooth cast resin and it seems to be very tough stuff .
