Description

Designed for topwater fishing, with a final assembled weight between 8.5 g and 9.5 g (~0.32 oz), it is balanced for accurate casting and lively surface action. The concave face generates splashes and popping sounds that trigger aggressive strikes from surface-feeding predators.

It is optimized for use with #6 treble hooks and tuned for reliable floating popper behavior.

 

Model & Assembly Note:
The lure is modeled as a single solid piece. For easier printing and to allow placement of wires and ballast, it is recommended to split the model longitudinally in your slicer and use 2x printed dowel pins to align and join the halves after printing/assembly. (Bambu Lab 3MF file is already set up this way.)

 

Print Recommendations:

Material: ABS

Layer Height: 0.8 mm

Perimeters: 2–3

Infill: 10–20% (adjust for buoyancy)

Supports: Not required

Ballast: Insert 3-4x steel balls, Ø4mm as internal weight

Finish: Paint and seal with 2 coats of low-viscosity epoxy resin for water protection and durability

Do you guys adjust the adaptive layer to smooth out the top curve of your lures?

No, I usually print them at 0.08 mm layer height, which already gives good detail on the top curves. Adaptive layer height can work too, but if you want a cleaner top finish, I’d also suggest setting the Top surface pattern to Concentric.

I printed with this how the 3MF file was configured, and it printed perfectly. Got it all glued up this morning. Do you bend your own wire for the eyelets? I did that and they didn't turn out great, but I think they'll work. Just need to sand the excess glue and paint it now.

Yes, I bend my own wire for the eyelets. I use a small round-nose plier made for this kind of work, but it still takes some practice to get consistent results. I also designed a 3D printed wire bending tool, but I haven’t had time to post it on MakerWorld yet. Glad to hear the print came out perfectly!
