Glad you like it! If you want to print it out on an fdm printer I would recommend using the highest temp fillimate you can. I have had good luck with polycarbonate blends. They print much nicer than pure and can still take the heat. I would imagine nylon would work the same. You can get away with petg and Abs but they tend to have a lifespan. They can warp if you shoot to hot and they also have issues with some of the larger molds. If you wanted to use a resin printer siryatech sculpt works very well.
I love it. Im hoping my soft plastics should be much better soon. Im working on finding a tpe plastic to make baits out of and I have a pretty good lead. I also picked up a cnc and am learning on how to make aluminum molds with it.
Just 1/4" bolts with a wingnut. You can use a regular nut too but if you over torque it the mold will crack. You can use a vice or clams too but usually the bolts work better.
@brycecover4654 Yea I deffinitly want to try some open pour swimbaits. If your looking for somthing to do now I have an open pour crawdad and a small flounder bait on my thingiverse page.
No that’s it for now. I might set up a Fishbrain for next year. I want to start doing some fishing videos with the lures I make. I’ve been focusing on getting a wide variety of lures out.
So I’m working on the 5 inch smooth body paddle tail. It was supposed to come out 2 weeks ago. Had 2 failed versions that set me back from print time but I think 3rd times the charm! Should be out soon!
@@HandCraftedAngling thank you. I will try it in the spring.I'm sure it has good results. I fish a lot with the d bomb of missile baits and it's very similar.good bait for bigmouth bass
@@Rcasbar Yeah I haven't gotten the chance to fish them yet but the should have a pretty nice action. I would think all the beavertail style baits would work pretty much the same. I think color would have more of an effect than anything.
@@HandCraftedAngling Yes, for fish that are suspicious or with little activity I use this lure a lot in bright blue-violet color or the bellowscraw in gripan chart color and they give good results (both with anise essence, I add food anise essence to mine) Congratulations again and thanks for sharing your knowledge and files with others. 
Thank you so much I really appreciate it! I just ordered a bunch of new colors and I got some new plastic coming in for some new designs. I also have a few hard baits in the works. I’m slammed with work right now but there’s a bunch of new stuff I have planned coming out soon

Another idea for you to do would be a small tackle box for hooks. Like a box to fit 1/0-5/0 ewg or straight shank hooks for Texas rig and drop shot.
This guy is My new hero 🤣👌🏽
Glad your enjoying it!
Just shot this one recently and pretty happy with it! Nice Job! 🎣🤘
Awsome glad you like it!
i would like to see you make some realistic scale effects on a swimbait.
That is an excellent Idea! Ill give it a shot this weekend.
This is art. Well done. Thabks for sharing file too.
What kind of material i could use to print the mold?

Jiffyjig type body mold (with space for 1/16 oz round jighead hook)

What are the metal bolts in the mold that you use to hold it together?
Just 1/4" bolts with a wingnut. You can use a regular nut too but if you over torque it the mold will crack. You can use a vice or clams too but usually the bolts work better.
@ got some bolts, thanks. I open poured it and 2 of the 4 came out. Better results than I had expected. Could you make any open pour molds?
@brycecover4654 Yea I deffinitly want to try some open pour swimbaits. If your looking for somthing to do now I have an open pour crawdad and a small flounder bait on my thingiverse page.
@ I’ll try those thanks
5 inch smooth body keitech swimbait would be pretty cool 🤷🏽♂️😏
So I can’t make a direct copy of a bait on the market, but I can absolutely do my own version of a 5 inch paddle tail. I’ll work on it soon!
@@HandCraftedAngling outstanding !your the best 🤝 appreciate you !👌🏽 do you have any other social media?
No that’s it for now. I might set up a Fishbrain for next year. I want to start doing some fishing videos with the lures I make. I’ve been focusing on getting a wide variety of lures out.
