"The value you get from a one time LIFETIME fee is well worth all the skills and knowledge gained.
It's truly like a college class."
"I had a deep fear of detail carving before taking this course. This resulted in very amateur-looking designs. Since taking the Fish with Your Masterpiece course my lure making skills have taken a visually remarkable step forward. The feedback on my lures across all social platforms is extremely positive. I really enjoy the step by step videos that go along with the downloadable lure templates. Being able to rewind or rewatch a certain step or skill is invaluable. The enjoyment I get from this course is well worth the cost alone. I make lures because I enjoy the process. The course makes me enjoy it even more!"

"I don't know any other actual courses that break it down as deep as Fish with Your Masterpiece."
"Can always find good info on YouTube but it's not compartmentalized and as simple."
-Conor
"If someone is on the fence, it's likely due to the pricing. Honestly, I struggled with that myself. In hindsight, my only regret is not joining the day it was released. The price is chump-change compared to the knowledge shared as well as the value you get of lifetime access. Whether you're brand new to lure making, a hobbyist, or a pro, you WILL NOT regret making this investment!"
"The Marling Baits YouTube videos all made it look so easy but when I finally tried it myself I struggled with everything from carving to clear coat. It turns out that it only looked easy because Nate has mastered his craft.
After taking the course, my bait making skills have improved exponentially. The details included answered so many questions about the process. Some that I didn't know I had! Thanks to Fish with Your Masterpiece, my bait making has reached a level that I didn't think I was capable of. Each bait I make gets better and better.
The O-FISH-AL community is incredible. Everyone is supportive and helpful. There are many different levels of experience and background all coming together to share and support. It's amazing."
-Jesse
"Using this course as my foundation to getting started has already helped me produce lures that have impressed friends and other anglers."
"Everything is laid out in an easy to understand format and each video focuses exactly on what it describes. It's an ever growing course with a strong community. I purchased the course just a few days after its release and have watched it grow into an awesome place to share ideas and inspire others."
-Dyrek
"You get tried and tested lure templates."
"It gives you a good baseline to design your own lures, making the overall lure making easier without having to learn by trial and error."
-Jan
"I'm colorblind and basecoats and stencils are pretty straightforward but matching that basecoat with a specific gill color was difficult. I've learned lots of tricks on painting alone and I'm super grateful."
"The community is encouraging and supportive but most importantly active. I have chatted with some amazing people, my baits have become more refined and my clear coats have improved dramatically."
-William
"Better baits in general that work better than I could have imagined."
"Everyone is very supportive and we all share ideas and questions."
-McKayla
"The content is first rate. The amount of information is a deal for what is paid."
"My challenges were coming up with a design and painting. My carving and painting have improved immensely and my confidence in my ability has grown too. I really enjoy interacting with the bait making community as well as creating. I have enjoyed Nate's YouTube videos for years. They inspired me to make my own lures. How hard can it be? It is very hard to make a lure that has a good action and looks good. The course gave me the information that Nate has accumulated over the years to make my baits better."
