JB-baits: Pikachu and other stories

Yes that is a Pikachu lure, made by Johannes Bang of Denmark. A lure builder with a drying rack to rival the work of Da vinci and for the video below he is making a spike to screw into his baits and hold them while they rotate on that rack as the epoxy cures.

 Johannes has been fly tying since he was a child, but he finally came to his senses and started making wooden lures and soft plastics about four years ago. He sells these through his facebook group JB-baits (https://www.facebook.com/groups/445035115692696/?fref=ts) or you can find pics of his work on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/jbbaits/?hl=en).

And then there is his Youtube channel. I couldn’t resist this video below as there is never anything wrong with watching other people's lures underwater.

The Penceel - Making a sea trout fishing lure

I am not sure you can fault any lure making video which starts by showing a little of what the bait  can do with a bit of water added. I have really enjoyed this series of videos from Splish Splash for two reasons; it covers making a sea trout lure in depth from start to finish and the other is because sea trout are little bolt of lightening and I have fond memories of fishing for them amongst the Scottish Hebrides (typed with a small tear in the corner of eye, and a hand looking for glass of 10 year old single malt).

This is a lure made to imitate the local bait fish, sand eels and is really built from his experience of brackish water fishing, so you  know you're not getting just theory and fancy lure making skills. But there is lots of technical know how to take from these videos to your own projects like, making masters and moulds as well casting techniques.    

The quality of home brewed videos on lure making always seems to taking steps forward and then there are some channels like Splish Splash that are making leaps and really telling a story not just stitching things together. I suggest you subscribe and share or as Liam Neeson says in that film,  “I will find you and I will Blah, Blah Blahhh”.   

Making a Sea Trout Fishing Lure

Splish Splash Plastic jerks

Having given up Danish bacon for breakfast in the hopes that one day I will be able to see my feet again, I feel I have some Danish-ness missing from my life. Luckily Splish Splash from Denmark is doing his bit to fill that gap by making these great films about a subject closer to my heart than cholesterol, lure making.

Once again folks please subscribe to his channel and share the sh*t out of his videos.

Splish Splash its the Codinator

Europe has lots of languages and I can just about handle English but I may have a go at learning Danish just so I can get a little more out of these lure making Videos from Splish Splash a native of Denmark.






Once again check out his channel, share, like, tweet or even learn Danish
