I won't have time to print and assemble/test it immediately, especially since winter is here, but all files are done and should be print ready. Updates will follow when I reach that point. The model features raised gills and eyes, as well as a hole for paint fill-in to act as a gill spot, located roughly at the same position as on its real-life counterpart. Two designs have been created: the "Standard" design, O1, similar to Sthone's crankbait model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1729443), and the method used by production brands, where short hook anchor points are wrapped around material instead of threading a wire through the entire lure body, referred to as O2. Given that Sthone's method is known to work well and be strong, O2 represents an experimental manufacturing approach, also allowing for larger chambers and more shot inside.
