Articulated Pike Swim Lure

thingiverse

I originally created this as a personal side project, maybe launching an Etsy store or Kickstarter campaign. A long story short, while testing them out, one of my prints somehow ended up in the hands of a young man with autism. I never thought that doing something like this could brighten someone's day even a little bit. Here it is! Northern Pike silhouette turned into an articulated "swim" lure Three models are available - two lure variants and one "toy" with the full pike head and no eye screw holes. The lure models have holes for 216 eye screws. It swims upright with eye screws, using 4mm splits. You can go bigger if you're catching bigger fish. Eye screws can support over 24 pounds. Infill density is greater than 10%, making it more buoyant. A 4x4x4 shell structure adds some strength to the articulation. Take a look at https://youtu.be/nA67gwqxwwo for a swimming video. Have fun and good luck!
