I’ve only just discovered Marling Baits on the YouTube a couple weeks ago and I’m hooked! There is just something about this guy, like others have commented, he makes it look so easy that he inspires me too to try my hand at making a lure or two and of course definitely makes me want to grab my gear and wet a line. I too can sit and watch his videos for hours. Mr. Marling has hit on a video style that works perfectly for him. The dude has personality and his passion for lure making and fishing in general is contagious. I totally agree with the other comments that he is an artist. He is not afraid to try anything that strikes his imagination. His work and attention to detail is absolutely beautiful and deserves to be put on display. At this moment, I have no idea how much $ his lures go for but, I feel I’d have to get two of whatever lure I could afford. One to fish with and one to put on display. Btw, from all the video’s I’ve seen so far, Mr. Marling gets it done right from the banks of area ponds, creeks and rivers. I’ve yet to see him fishing from a decked out, high dollar Nitro Bass boat, not that he doesn’t deserve a couple, five or nine of them. I’ve got to admit, I get that nostalgic, excited feeling in my belly from days gone by while in high school, when me and a couple buddy’s would actually play REAL “fish hooky” from school and hit the area ponds and creeks walking the banks. It’s O-fish-al, Mr. Marling is an amazing artist, fisherman and from what I can tell on video, a hell of a nice guy.✌️
