In this video I make a silicone mold so I can make plenty of my topwater mouse lures. Bass love the lab rat. www.amazon.com/shop/engineere... / engineeredangler pB5ReGuDlS...

Nice build. I say paint the belly black and leave the back white so you can see it. Best of both worlds.

Another great video! Thanks, Franco! Maybe you could attach some smaller hooks, to keep them from hooking to each other?

It isn't catchy to fishermen but I don't think a bait needs paint. The best lures I own have the paint worn off. I live on Chickamauga Lake and build baits in the shop. I'll seal the wood and test them off the dock, some do better without paint. Maybe I'm a bad painter ? lol

Excellent lure! I'd keep a few just white and paint the rest, gotta have them all, grey, brown, dark grey, white, combinations of those colors. For coil part you could maybe make some sort of a tube from a drinking straw and 2 part epoxy like you use for rattles (so you can just cap one end off and mold the cap around the coil) and modify wire snelling tool to keep the distance between coils the same. That way you can screw in your coil how many twists you want and keep it secure in the mold. A bit more work to prepare but better consistency and less cleanup than with clay beads.

You always have great ideas for baits and am thinking of trying some myself.

Great video Franco. Did you use a 10% micro balloon mix when pouring the baits?

You could fix the tail in the resin while casting too. This way, you may eliminate using the coil.
@jurajanal227724 күн бұрын
I'd keep the coil but find some way to keep it more secure in a spot because if something like pike or musky bites your tail off, you can just screw on a new one.

honest question. i know that you think very analytically like me, (thats the main reason i like this channel, most are "art" of lure making, you have solid repeatable measurements and calculations for everything, and that is my language) so heres my question. you claim that this lure outperforms other topwater lures. do you HONESTLY feel that this is 100% the case, or do you feel like this is at least partly, if not mostly, attributable to the fact that you have confidence in the lure, so that, compared to a similar, top water lure, you will fish this one slower/faster, or whatever and/or throw it more when you would have given up on another lure and retied because you "know" this one will produce? i also have my "go to" lures that always work, but sometimes other that are fishing the same time and place have completely different go-to's and cant catch with what im using. i dont like to think that this is just some cognitive bias and is all in my head, but it does seem that way sometimes. thoughts on this?

Well, the absolute best lure today may not be so a week from now. But once a lure has proven to be a winner the confidence is there whenever I pick it up and that often makes the difference.
