I designed and made this swimbait in part 1 now its time to make a lure mold. But not just any lure mold, this one will have slots and pins to hold the hinges and to form the hinge pin holes. It’s a bit more work upfront but it will save tons of time when I start producing these swimbaits.

Yes…the puppy and I survived the gag, the wife thought I spilled a cup of yogurt! That's only the second time I have forgotten to put the Vaseline on the mold before pouring the second half. The last time it was a simple lip-less crank so I was able to treat it as a one part mold and just cut it partially in half. This mold had too many critical parts so it was a fire drill to scoop out all the half-set silicon and hustling to wipe it all out and cleaning off all the parts and details. There was no guaranty that it was going to work…so I was nervous opening it. Any one out there have a different system to avoid the issue?
Good morning, how do you like them lithium batteries. I'm thinking of buying a pair for my trolling motor. Also, do you have a discount code from them batteries
I really liked the result of the video… I learned a lot how to make this kind of lure. Thanks a lot.
That is so funny ( You ready you're getting blamed )
Just like grandpa use to say, “A little lubrication goes a long way…”
Cool, did u test it out at a lake
Great video. Excellent!! Hope you survived the “incident”!!!!
Amazing! Been wanting to do this for a long time. Kinda knew how. Just lacked the inspiration.
Can you discuss any the basic differences in design from making a three part lure as to a two part lure?
Can you please elaborate on why you switched the rod to aluminum I just ordered a bunch of the fiberglass?
I sent you some molding stuff on instagram
Great work my friend!
What resin or material do you use for your actually baits? I may have missed it but trying to make sure
What kind of clay do you use to make the first side of the mold?
Really cool and informative, I started a soft bait company years ago and sold it, wanna start the hard swim and glide baits now , love the creative part
Great! Tnx for the information 💪🏻
A real piece of Engineering put into action!…. Finally!
hey great info, what episode do you describe how to calculate the density of the material being used for the lure ?
Good 2 part video. How do you secure the pins, did I miss that. Why make them so long?
Hey EA, when you did the the harness to hold the weight, was the harness going through the weight? Or did you bend the harness so that the weights sat in the middle of the bait ?
So did you ever get the weedless swimbait to work? I’ve working on my ideas for a weedless glidebait for the heavy cover around these Florida waters.
Hahaha 😂. Great lure making video and good prank. Hope u survived, brah. G can tell stories just by reactions and moving eyes, therefore best of luck. Looking forward to the next video Frank’O’!!! Always great to view your creativity, and be a part of your thinking out-side the box.
I hope you filmed the reaction
Super cool man! Thank you sir for sharing your love. 💯
Could you 3D print the mold out of sla??
Awesome! Here in Brazil the popular nickname for Francisco (which is a saint's name, but you should already aware of it since the pope chose it too) is Chico, if you never knew about it
Thanks for sharing this, I'm really impressed on how you can calculate the volume so perfectly!
Where is part 1?
Great video once again! Definitely the best on you tube. I wonder if the hinge is as strong as the screw eye method? I built a lure like this with 5 joints out of a plastic material from hardware store. I forget the name but is white 3/4" thick with a wood grain on one side used for finishing around doors and windows. Takes a lot of weight to sink it. I caught a small pike on my 3rd cast then accidentally engaged the reel mid flight of the 4th cast and it sunk to the bottom after snapping the line. It felt worse than loosing a big fish! Lol. Would like to get into the hole molding process and love all the hard work and detail you put into each video. Thank you from Ontario Canada.
Very informative videos. Helping my bait making immensely.
Good idea with the solder for the vents and the foil for the fins thank you
Lovin it… can’t wait to see it in action!….if you survive!😂
Very nice looks the goods 👌 hope pooche doesn't get into to much trouble 😁 PS is Vaseline your go-to mould release? Ever use the spray on stuff?
Hello sir can u plz explain how to weight a wooden body lure for ex what if i want to make a 40 gm of lure plz explain sir
