crayfish lure

thingiverse

This thing was made with Tinkercad. Edit it online at https://www.tinkercad.com/things/dbviq1osWiB The tail is articulated, allowing a rubber band to go in the slot through loops in it around the loop at the top and through notches in the tail. An eye bolt goes through the center of the loop on the back, and the lure is retrieved with a jigging motion backwards. Smallest eye bolts from Home Depot were used, along with two number 4 treble hooks from Bass Pro. A higher resolution print will stop water from getting into the lure and keep it floating better. Cura was used as a slicer, with the pause plugin set to pause near the tops of cavities and added rattles (https://www.amazon.com/Fishing-Glass-Rattles-Insert-Attract/dp/B00NNV51D4) and weights were also added. Bird shot was used for the weights to give it a bit of extra rattle, but any weight that will fit in the holes will do. Only add weights to the front and back vertical holes, not the horizontal one in the middle where rattles go. Two rattles were put in and just let them bang around. Make sure to pause the print at the correct height to add the weights and rattles.
