The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight kzfaq.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

u should make a scorpion lure. like the stinger is the hook point.

Hanging at the river the other day. One of my friends saw a Tesla drive by and said "I will have a Tesla one day." I smiled and, quite loudly, said "One Day!" He looked at me funny but a guy farther down the bank was all "One Day!" He got a thumbs up ☝

Am I the only one who can tell he’s a good dad by his outfit

MAKE A MICHAEL PHELPS TOP WATER LURE WITH PADDLES LIKE THE WASP.

Marling has the only 30 min videos that ill watch in their entirety.

Who else instantly liked when he said “if I had to describe the smell… Have you guys ever done drugs”

My idea for a lure... the Yellow Submarine! Hear me out: A yellow (submarine shaped) top-water lure, with a propeller on the back and a big'ol lip on the front. Reel it slow and it's a good buzz-bait, reel it fast and the lip makes it dive (like a submarine). Bonus points if it's got a noisy group of Beatles inside (rattle trap also?!?!).

Tornado: *happens* Hurricane: *happens* Pandemic: *happens* Marling: _One day!_

The most underrated channel on youtube

Hey everyone, I'm just finding this channel, has anyone called this guy a master-baiter yet?

When I was was a kid that dense wood was used for intermediate prop shaft bearings in commercial fishing boats. It is verry oily and hard so was long lasting in the wet environment of the bilge. It tended to be self lubricating and didn't rot or corrode. It also would not score the shafting like a babit bearing mite if you forgot to grease it. Dan R

The only thing to keep us alive

You are so inspiring I started making my own lures myself

Hi, I am 75 years old now and have loved fishing all my life. Nowadays I fish almost exclusively with lures. I have even made or modified quite a few lures of my own for specific fish and conditions. When I was a teenager I used to buy cheap lure parts from Herter's in Waseca, Minn. build the lures and sell them. As a 12 year old Snook fisherman in Tampa, with no money I learned what could be done with broom handle plugs and cheap nail polish as paint. I also learned how to make Jigs out of a hook, split shot and aluminum foil. I just discovered your channel. I enjoyed the very first video so much that I subscribed right away. You have gifts to create and build plus you are a terrific comedic presenter with perfect timing and on camera skills. I live North of Syracuse, NY however my favorite fishing is for Snook on Florida's lower East Coast. Around my home area I enjoy Trout fishing plus Walleye "hunting" plus Crappie and Bass. All are released (except for legal sized Snook) for their sake and mine... I hate cleaning fish. Anyway, please keep doing your stuff. You are awesome! Darryl

"This is a wood not to be trusted" What true words to live by.

Dude you’re crushing out videos and I love it. I get so excited when I see the notification!

“Get rid of your crusties and don’t solidify your fuzzies” my new life motto.

When he said "You're going see me make it" sounded like "your going to see me naked" 😂 21:00

“oh bob saget!” there’s an awfully old reference i still use as well. lol

Nate buying a house. "More ads, put more ads in the videos." Me watching ads all the way through. "Here you go buddy. You buy that house."

2:48 “Y0u GuYs EvEr Do DruGs”

The blend of comedy and amazing craftsmanship make your videos so entertaining I could watch them all day

"If I leave this part in the video that would be pathetic." he says knowing damn well he will include it.

Nate: you know what I'm not gonna put that in it'll make me looked pathetic. Also Nate: puts it in the video anyway

Don’t get me wrong, I love your building videos but I would KILL to just see you fish for an hour

Sometimes you see KZfaqrs sort of get on top of trends and such, but you create original content and I appreciate that so much. Your videos have always been really enjoyable to watch :)

I started builing lures about 2 months ago. Mostly because of you 😆 watching your videos is addicting and highly inspirational.

"Lignum vitae" is Latin for "wood of life", and derives its name from its medicinal uses; lignum vitae resin has been used to treat a variety of medical conditions from coughs to arthritis, and chips of the wood can also be used to brew a tea en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignum_vitae

Hey, Nate. I want to build something for your new shop. When you start getting an inventory of what you have and what you need, let me know. A good mini table top workbench with a moxon vice, a particular type of stool, just something you need, let me know. I've got a good woodshop and plenty of hardwood stock. You figure out what you want, send me a message and I'll get it together for you.

Marling baits and Matthew Posa are the only two channels that I absolutely watch through the vids in their entirety.

Easily one of my favorite baits you have made! Love the simplicity! And "Extreme Marlin Baits" sounds awesome!

False advertising... just wait until this quarantine is over and you’ll find out what the hardest wood in the world is

You should make a bait that looks like a magikarp from pokemon

When you talked about your dog being silly it reminded me of my female German Shepherd. When she was young, if she didn't like what you did, like washing the garage and close her on the corridor (my corridor had a door in the middle) she would just run in circles and bite her tail until it bled and spilling blood all over the walls. Despite that she was the friendliest and lovely dog I have ever seen! Good with my friends, family, loved to play and interact. She didn't really like people laying on her body and the day a friend of mine got sick and did that, the dog didn't care, as if it knew she wasn't good. Her behavior got all better after a couple of years. Loved baths, she was a really easy dog to take care of. Then her oncologist when she needed to treat cancer at age of 11 told that she also had a German Shepherd who looked like my dog, she almost cried and wanted to take a picture with her, which my dog just loved. But the oncologist was talking about her dog, who survived this accident, but ate a light bulb, which brought up a lot of headaches during the period. German Shepherds seem to be so unique in personality, it's amazing. I love them and I love my dog forever. RIP Lila, you were the best girl.

Very nice bait and you kept your Promise about showing the Dog!!! Awesome you are teaching people how to do something constructive.

21:00 “New shop, you guys are gonna see me make it too”

This is very simple, but I love how he self records everything.

I’m going into withdrawals without these new videos. 😂 Your very talented. Push your boundaries. Make a double broke back baby blue gill and catch that 8 pounder that’s in house ponds.

Please never stop making videos Marling baits! Here's an idea for you new house/shop... A see through tank the length of the longest wall, where you can test action of lures and more importantly, so we too can see the actions. Long live Marling baits!

You're going to need to break down your shop when you move, wont you. Could you do a subscriber special around that time? Ask everyone to send in lures, and try to catch a fish on as many of them as possible. Or if that's too much work, just showcase them. You've inspired a lot of people to try luremaking!

Am I the only one who thinks he looks and sounds like Jim from the office. I love it

This guy is simplicity, creativity and d e p r e s s i o n

Glad to see the best dog in lure making. And Chip too!! 🍓🐕

“You guys ever do drugs”hade me dying of laughter 😂

21:03 I legit heard "You guys are gonna see me naked too"

I love the one days but who else sometimes wants to see like old school marling baits videos where he takes a long Time and makes an absolute georgus bait with good cleat coat and incredible gill carvings

I liked you idea of the reviews on brands don't get scared into only doing what you've grown on, but also don't stoping making baits, cause ya know ur da best

“You guys ever do dru-“😂😂

Make marlin baits merch with “YOU KNOW?” Written in big letter on it

Please do series where you show how to make and paint the baits please. Like each episode you show different techniques and steps

It’s really crazy how many different ideas you come up with for your videos.

We need a "chip get out of the mushrooms" shirt now

One day, clear coat and it's official are things I love to hear

Not only are these videos cool and interesting just from his crafting ability, but the comedic relief makes this my favorite channel to watch. Makes deployment much more enjoyable when you can watch stuff like this.

I LoL'd when he was describing the smell of it. Great stuff as usual 👍

When you said “ 5 lber on the bi-wood lure “ I thought you said plywood, so that’s your next wood to use.

It’s a challenge for me just to catch a fish in “onnnnne day”

I love going back looking at your old videos, and then watching your new vids and how much more comfortable you’ve become on camera.

I hope you'll be more organized in your new shop. Have a great moving day! Stay safe and healthy to everyone at home!

wonder if he reads to his son how to make fishing lures

“Proceeds to put it in the video”

Made my first lure yesterday after watching your vids! Took it down to the sea, had a fish on (trout) and was so pumped about the chance to do a proper "one day" that I f-up bad and the fish spit the hook😂 Thank's for great content and inspiration!

I sure hope you take us in the journey of the big move. I hope you hire movers for all the rest of the non-garage related items and tools. Would be nice to see the new transformation in your new work space. Please let us tag along!!

I like how Nate knowingly admits in the video that he is going to lie to everyone with his title...

we need a humming bird bait

I cant wait for the winter of shop videos! I'm proud of you Nate you're a man now.

I love your channel everything I've seen you make has been awesome & I love to fish fresh water & salt water. When I'm watching & listening to you build a lure at times I'd swear that I was watching or listening to Tom Green LoL Keep up the good work your skills are awesome...

17:46 oh really? Instant dislike Lmao jk ofc I liked this video keep up the delicious daily uploads

I dont know where to ask this and I'm not good with social media, but where has he been? I found this channel about a month ago now I'm inspired and addicted. Great content and great person. A real KZfaqr that makes videos longer than 4 minutes. Sincerely concerned fan.

That is one beautiful bait! And not everyone hates otters. I love them because they have very nice pelts. ;)

Your authenticity is unmatched!

I too am buying a house and can’t wait! I’ve rented for 8 years after the last recession and now I’m not sure if I’m moron(like Chip) or not, but I’m buying a house in the current recession. Good luck with everything. Glad we got to see ole Shroomy (Chip).

Got soooo excited when you asked if we wanted to see chip, makes me miss my gsd so much.

The background soundat the pond is so steadily eerie giving an apocalyptic kinda vibe

Some folks choose to live on an edge. Seems like you are one of them. Nice work !!!

Its 2:30am, and I have work at 9am, but instead of sleeping I am watching bait making..I couldnt be more content.

After binge watching almost all of your videos, I’m almost sure that you normally talk to yourself, but by having a KZfaq channel, you seem more sane😂

You inspired me to start making my own lures. I started with just inline spinners for trout, now I'm starting to shape my own lures. I'm really digging lipless crankbaits and thinking about making my own. Thank you!!!

I don't know if you see this man but I've been watching your videos for a while and I've been starting to make my own Bates and I finally made my first two piece jitterbug it caught me at three and a half pound bass so all I really want to say is thanks for showing me this kept my mind at peace

16 and a half keurichs! A new record!! hot hot hot

Top shelf yet again. Thank you.

A tip I use for sanding: I save old belt sander belts the cut them in half. I then spray glue and wrap them around different diameter dowels at an angle and they makes it super easy to sand any surface.

Jim Halpert! That's who you remind me of. You're original. Great content. Thumbs up!

I am just getting into fishing and this guy just makes me want to go out and fish all day 😂

Best channel ever,you learn and get entertainment

Thanks for your sacrifice keep your good videos coming

One of the best episodes of South Park by far

Thank you marling baits,you’ve inspired me so much

This is so cool!! I love imagination with bait making. And you never fail

That is so smart and love the creativity

Extreme Marling Baits fishing is awesome. I want to see some more of that.

Now that's precision drilling 😄 the two sorts of wood together looks realy cool

Loving your vids and the quantity nothing better than chilling and carving watching you super glue your fingers lol 😂

Marling You are truly a MASTER BAITER.

this yt channel is 10/10 even if you never been fishing.

That is so pleasing to the eye, I would love to buy that!

A trick for gluing oily woods -- wipe the surfaces to be glued with acetone or some other solvent to remove the oils on those surfaces, and slightly deeper. It's an old boat building trick used with teak, among other woods.

Love your build's and vid's. Thank you!

I haven't gone fishing in years and have no interest in making my own lures but damn you're videos are really entertaining/satisfying
