diemai Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi there , folks , This time I'm smarter , ....thought of uploading this little picture compilation here in the tutorial section straightaway . I have uploaded these pictures in the forums quite a while ago , but these days I just got smarter with the computer(with the help of my dear daughter Andrea) , ....so I was able to put them out on video even together with a music track . Of course any upcoming questions will be answered , ..........greetz , diemai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 With this tutorial, I believe I can do that. Thanks, Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks Dieter. I've been contemplating different ways to add rattles to my baits and as soon as I saw the first picture in your video it became as clear as glass. Your videos sure make things easier for a lot of us. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleriver Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Brilliant! Thanks you Dieter. Have you tried glass beads? Good video. Gotta love fiddle music. Vic p.s. We have to get you some US coinage. I have no idea the size of those German coins. Edited February 13, 2012 by littleriver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks a lot for you kind words , folks , ....much appreciated ! @ Coley What a nice compliment , ....in this case , ....mission accomplished ! @ RayburnGuy Ben , there are other ways to furnish rattles for homemade baits , but most of these methods require a higher working effort in my opinion Many folks furnish the crosswise bore with some kinda lining(for better roll of the inserted BB's) , may this be a straw , an empty pen or also some metal tubing , etc , .......BUT they would need to glue in some kind of closure lids on either end of the bore , which requres to furnish a countersunk on either end of the bore , ......most likely the lures shape should be completed at this stage , I guess , ..........for my own rattles I can drill the hole 8,0mm dia when the blank is still square , ....and no countersunks required . Also these glued on lids can cause failures of the rattle , if one does not watch out and glue remainders flow into the rattle chamber . On German forums I had seen one guy using the coins of the former German Democratic Republic for this purpose , as they were pretty light made of an aluminium alloy , another guy used the flat disc-shaped heads of paper tacks . I just wanted to get around this added effort , ....just create a closed rattle casing , assemble it and close the bore with putty , ...done , ........and making these rattles shown comes in quite easy and fast , once you'd get the hang on it , anyway , This rattle is too large for smaller and lighter lures , ........for such I'm using so-called "jig-rattles" of plastic , just snip off the mushroom-shaped extension meant to be attached to a jigheads skirt collar and it's ready to be inserted into a timber blank . @ littleriver I haven't yet tried glassbeads for rattles(apart from worm rigs) , ......I just think that they are too light , thus would not have as much power on impact as rolling back and forth inside of the rattle chamber , ........thus won't generate as much noise as BB's fof steel . .........though I may be wrong about it , .....just haven't tried it ! That fiddle music is traditional Cajun Music from Louisana , I've come across many years ago watching an America movie on TV and since I liked these tunes with their disctinctive fiddle play and backing triangle , ......the band(the Balfa Brothers)in the movie is also playing that little tune I've used for my video(not banned on German YouTube , either ), .........guess , that the melody in the movie is their most famous ? Even electric guitar superstar Mark Knopfler adapted the Cajun style in a song on one of his former albums : That coin is a European 50 cent coin , .......it's diameter is 24,25 mms , .......so about .96 inch , ..........don't have any American coins at hand , sorry ! Thanks again , greetz , Dieter Edited February 13, 2012 by diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bondhue Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I love this site and everything I've learned here. Please tell what is the joint material in the swimbait at the 1:30 time area? It looks almost like tourniquet material, but that would not seem strong enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diemai Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I love this site and everything I've learned here. Please tell what is the joint material in the swimbait at the 1:30 time area? It looks almost like tourniquet material, but that would not seem strong enough. Welcome to TU , ........hope , you'd enjoy yourself in here ! Sorry , but it's not clear to be seen on the picture , ........only took the pic to display the rattle assembly , .........this is still a blank , readily carved , but never separated into it's two sections , .......it is simply wood material inbetween the two sections . I do all of my jointed lures this way , since it is a lot easier to carve and sand , ........first to hold the blank pieces with your guiding hand and second you'd get better transitions between the single sections this way . I'd separate them finally , when all fine sanding is done , afterwards I'd sand the opposing planes smooth and round them off . The hinges would either be interconnected screweyes or wireforms . Sorry about getting you confused , ..........cheers , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
