Ugly Smelt

prusaprinters

A simple trolling lure with supports designed in.  Print it out, clip off the supports, add fishing line, hook and beads, and it's ready to fish. Works on many species of fish including Trout, Salmon, Pike, Muskie, and Bass.  You can scale it down for Walleye or panfish.  If you want to cast it instead of trolling, add a small bead to the front and tie a swivel about 2" from the bill (shown in second picture).  Printing:  Use 3 perimeters and 15-20% Honeycomb infill for strength. Adjust your Solid Infill Threshold Area (PrusaSlicer-Infill-Advanced) to have solid infill stop around the top of the eyes (start at 70mm² and change as needed). If you aren't getting good bed adhesion add some brim to expand the base.  Align the seam on the belly for a cleaner look.  PLA or PETG work well.
