Description
This lure is my go at a 3d printed jerkbait which sadly are very rare to find on printables or thingiverse. I designed this off of the Westin Swim and gave it the same details. I would be very happy about some makes or even fish you caught on it.
Printer Brand:
Elegoo
Printer:
Neptune 3
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
.16
Infill:
50% (doesnt really matter, adjust the sinking behavoiur with lead)
Assembly
It is meant to be assembled with steel wire, but if you prefer you can just use screw eyes. Contrary to common beliefs, it is actually very durable.
I used a 12.5 gram spinner weight in the front and a 9.5 gram weight in the back, but you can use basically anything. I used splitshots to balance it almost perfectly. Keep in mind that the hooks also weigh extra.
I painted this lure in a very simple “Hot-Pike” pattern and used 10mm eyes.
Update
Caught this thick 85cm Pike on the Hot Pike pattern.
