zip-tie lure hook keeper

thingiverse

I'm not crazy about those rubber o-ring lure keepers - they're just a pain to use and I've lost track of how many I've had to replace when the O-ring slips off unnoticed. I was looking for something straightforward, unobtrusive, secure, and incredibly easy to attach and detach from any hook size. So, I came up with this simple solution. The rod seat diameter is 11.5mm, making it compatible with a wide range of rods. The zip-tie is 1.2mm thick and stands at 3mm tall. This design was printed in ABS at a 0.1mm layer height using a 0.4mm nozzle. No supports were required, but the best results come from printing very slowly. It took 28 minutes to complete the print.
