tiny crankbait.

a tiny little crankbait lure, heavily inspired by this kind of design: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191613977629?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT but it seems like hundreds of chinese Ebay sellers have these. the fillet tool really didn't cooperate on this one, but it's so small it doesn't really matter. Update 20/8 -16 now i've actually went fishing with this little lure, and i can say that it works great! i caught 11 perch and a half-decent pike on it that day. but i also found a little problem with the design: it doesn't handle high speeds very well. so keep that in mind. don't reel it in too fast, or i might start spinning out of control. i may tinker a bit with the balance to see if i can fix it. Print Settings Printer: Malyan M150 i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .1-.2 Infill: 100% Notes: print in PLA with 100% infill, and preferably a brim. Post-Printing bend some .8mm steel wire into shape, add a hook and epoxy it together. and the main body is done! then you can decorate it however you want. i went for a generic roach pattern with aluminium foil tape and permanent markers. when that's done it might be a good idea to coat it in a layer of epoxy, or something. just to protect the paint. great drawing, i know... it'll have to do.
