Description
Jointed floating crankbait is a lure for fishing for larger predatory fish, pike, catfish and other species that attack fish on the surface of the water. It weighs 21 grams, is 90 millimeters long and is a floating wobbler, with an evolution close to the water film. It has an aggressive movement that attracts the attention of predatory fish.
Designed for easy printing, with holes for 0.8 mm stainless steel wire. For weight and balance I added two 6mm steel balls in the holes in the belly and one 5mm in the hole in the tail. I put baking soda over the balls, then apply a drop of super glue. It hardens quickly and then I sand it. The slot is for a 1.5mm thick lip. I have attached a file with the lip that can be used as a template for cutting out of polycarbonate sheet or can be used if you don't mind that it is not transparent. I print the lip with 100% filling. For better centering and adhesion with glue to the wobbler, I notched the lip approximately 5 mm. When attaching, the horizontal wire passes through the notch of the lip.
A simple and quick lure to execute. First, the wire from the belly is inserted, and then the horizontal wire that crosses the body of the lure, also passing through the eye of the wire on the belly, and finally the lip. After painting, I also add the wire for the tail. For attachment I use two-component epoxy glue.
3D resin eyes of 10 mm
After painting, I apply two layers of hard UV resin.
Triple hooks no. 1
I also added the 70mm and 13grams model, to which the size of the steel balls are two pieces of 5mm and one piece of 4mm. Printing settings identical to those for the larger model.
PLA filament consumption approximately 7.5 grams.
3D resin eyes of 8 mm
Triple hooks no. 4
