I love the scale variance on this one...the fillet style on the bottom and more traditional scales on the top. It's very convincing...I used to catch them often in the river in my hometown when I was a kid. One of the prettiest "minnow" type fish I used to find.

Another gorgeous bait and instructive video, Mikko. I particularly appreciated the fact that you didn't speed up or skip over stages that you have done hundreds of times. Although, as a longtime follower, I am familiar with most of your techniques, the "newcomers" aren't, and they're the ones who have pushed subscriptions above 50K. The tip about using spring steel for the wire harness because it better holds its shape was a really good one. Thanks. Now if you'd just take my advice about testing lures in a local swimming pool instead of your bathtub . . . Hah! All the best, Chris

Colors look amazing on this one! Sometimes I think the shine of epoxy can be a bit much on certain lures, but it’s hard to beat the protection it provides. I recently tried finishing with a matte spray on top of epoxy and I liked the results.

Hello Mikko.. greetings from Peru 👋👋👋.... it has passed a little long time since last time I wrote you. Once again, I enjoyed a lot your video, and as usual, I admire your incredible work, patience, and details. You know something, in my current project I was wondering how to get more or less the same colours effect that you had in the back of your lure, but I didn't know how to do it. Luckily after watching your painting work I've got tons of ideas... I loved the washed effect and I will try to find something similar to the Varathane spray ...thanks!!!. It is incredible, because it was a coincidence with what I began to do last week. I started to make four juveniles fishes for trouts... all last previous lures that was making in the last months were small and tiny lures for trouts (fantasie and natural colouring), but none of them with a look of a Juvenile look (maybe you can give a look and your recommendations will be more than welcome 😄. Last Saturday I completed the first one. It was an articulated one. Given the small size, it was very hard to do it but I've got a lot of fun. This Attila had 5.5mm long, 6gr of weight, and I used a pass through wire for the main articulation (it was nothing easy to get the right assembling)... I tested it in the pool and the lure's action and swim was incredible. I will try to make a video of it. well thank you for sharing your work, take care!!!👋👋👋 PS...Mikko something I forgot to tell you... instead using the bandsaw to do the groove for the wiring, try to find a Japanese saw I bought long time ago in Amazon, the brand is Vaughan... I had mine more than 10 years and it works really well as the first day. I'm not sure if Amazon still have them available.Bye...

Beautiful bait. Have you ever seen one in the wild. None here in NJ. I know they are endangered in many areas. Males only have a red belly during spawn from what I have read. The lure you made is extremely large compared to how large they actually grow. I love the shape and the paint job on this.

I think the epoxy coat reduces the action on lures, at least when I try the ones I make before epoxy they tend to swim better . Don’t know if you feel the same.

To celebrate 50k subscribers maybe you need to make a lure where you fill in the remainder of the ballast hole with "supergluebakingsoda" then you can seal it with super glue and then do "fun facts" on the fish your lure is modeled after
