3d print fish lures

3d print fish lures

 There’s a reason ‘Gone Fishin’’ is the well-known sign that essentially means ‘no more work today.’ Fishing has long since been one of the most relaxing pastimes for centuries – whether you’re out catching your dinner or just want some good old-fashioned bonding time void of the screens and noise that everyday life comes with.

Growing up in a seaside town, I myself spent many a happy afternoon with my dad fishing in the river and sea I was lucky enough to have right on my doorstep, and my fishing bag and tackle box are now proudly displayed in my home as a reminder of those great times.

3D printed fishing lures are a great way to keep your tackle box full of interesting, personally made attachments made from fishing lure molds found all over the internet, many for free, and printed at home.

Not only that, but 3D printing your own lures is a far cheaper method of getting this equipment. Fishing lures are generally more expensive than live bait due to their materials, manufacturing, and reusability, and between loss and damage, their costs add up to a pretty penny if you’re a frequent fisher.

Fishing lure molds and models come in as many types as there are lures themselves, and each one is better suited to different environments and different fish. Here we’re going to look at not only the best and coolest looking 3D printed fishing lures, but also which ones are best depending on the kind of fishing you do.

3D Printed Jig Lures

Jigs are what come to mind when most people think about fishing, and they are fairly simple to make as 3D printed fishing lures for just about any freshwater catch.

Because they’re weighted, jigs are good for catching bottom feeders like carp and bass, but you can also use them to catch anything from bream to salmon.

Freshwater Fishing Lures

There are a lot of freshwater fishing lures in a lot of sizes, shapes and colors. As you understand more about the environment fish live in and how they behave, you will learn how to identify the best freshwater lures and bait for what you’re angling for during different seasons of the year.

FRESHWATER LURES

These are the most common freshwater fishing lures you can find in your favorite fishing tackle store.

FISHING JIGS

Fishing jigs are commonly-used freshwater lures equipped with weighted metal heads and a tail made of animal hair, soft plastic, feathers or rubber. Anglers sometimes add a minnow or piece of pork rind to the fishing jig's hook. Fishing jigs can be used to catch nearly every kind of freshwater and many saltwater fish. Learn more about the best jigs for catching bass. 

POPPERS

Poppers are small fishing lures used with spin-casting tackle. These fishing baits are very good for pan fish and other fish that feed on the surface such as trout and bass. Poppers get their action from a cupped face carved or molded into the front of the lure body.

SPOONS

Spoons are metal lures designed to mimic the action of a swimming baitfish or minnow. They’re one of the most popular of all freshwater fishing lures because spoons are easy to use and are versatile. Depending on where and how you're fishing, you’ll want the right spoon – casting, weedless (or topwater), jigging or trolling spoons. Different spoons have different actions. And there are a variety of colors depending on the type of water and species you’re fishing. Ask your tackle shop which ones you need.

PLUGS

Plugs have a plastic or wood body and are designed to be used on top of the water or at depths below the surface. Topwater or floating plugs are designed to float on the surface. Diving plugs have plastic or metal lips so they will dive to a certain depth. These diving plugs are often called crankbaits because they are often used with bait casting reels that operate like a crank.

SPINNERS

Spinners have one or more blades that spin, or revolve, around a straight wire shaft. Some spinners have tails made of soft plastic or animal hair.

PLASTIC BAITS

Soft-plastic worms, minnows and crayfish are available in many sizes and colors. You can use them with or without a weight. Sometimes, plastic fishing baits are used with a jig head, spinner or spinner bait. Some plastic baits have a scent built into them that is attractive to fish.

Best jig for largemouth bass

 Jigs are one of the best lures for bass fishing.  Jigs entice the bass to bite, and are extremely versatile when it comes to fishing for bass. The best bass jigs can be used year-round, in any body of water, and are very effective in catching trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass.

Fishing with a jig takes some practice, but once you’ve mastered it you’re sure to catch more bass. Find the best bass jigs and learn how to use them correctly to find success when bass fishing in any season.

Mister twister lures

       Based out of a small Louisiana town, Mister Twister has been producing soft plastic fishing lures for over 40 years. A couple of their original lures are the Sassy Shad and Curly Tail, which are still producing trophy catches for anglers across the nation. The 2018 Forrest Wood Cup was won by Clent Davis with a major portion of his catch attributed to the Mister Twister Mag 12 Buzz Worm. Mister Twister continues to produce quality products that have made their mark in the professional bass fishing world.

Types of Fishing Lures

Types of Fishing Lures

 

Fishing with lures has many advantages:

• 
  
• Lures are less messy than bait.
• Lures gut hook fewer fish (gut hooking is when the fish takes the hook deeply, or even completely swallows the hook).
• Lures allow you to cover more water, even from shore or a pier.
• You can target the species you are after more efficiently with lures.
• Lures are easy to change out.

As far as disadvantages go, they are mostly related to cost:

• 
  
• Lures can be expensive compared to bait.
• Lures can be snagged on underwater obstacles or in trees, and the price of them makes it especially painful to lose.

Fishing Hook Sizes Charts

There are 7 main types of lures: jigs, spinners, spoons, soft plastic baits, plugs, spinerbaits, and flies. When you finish reading this, you will be able to recognize each of these lures on sight and have an idea of how to fish them (in fishing lingo this is called “Presentation.”)

Jigs

Of all lures, I would say that jigs are the most versatile. A jig can catch about every game fish there is, and are inexpensive to boot. They have a weighted lead head and come in every size and color and can be “dressed” (think of it like a tail or skirt) in feathers, hair, a soft plastic grub, or with the bait of your choice.

Presentation

Jig fishing takes a lot of concentration, unlike spinners, all the “action” (how a lure moves in the water) comes from you. If you don’t do anything the jig just sinks. The classic way to fish a jig is to cast it out, wait until it hits the bottom (you will know it has hit bottom when your line goes slack), then retrieve it in a series of hops. You make it hop by lifting the rod tip, lowering it, and retrieving your line. Try different speeds, big lifts, little hops, twitching until you find what works. Pay attention, though. Detecting the strike is the hardest thing about jigging.

Spinners

Spinners are a great beginner lure because they are so easy to use. They are essentially a metal shaft with spinning blade. The hook can be bare or dressed. Dragging a spinner through water causes the blade to spin. The spinning motion of the blade creates sound and vibration that can be picked up by fish through their lateral line (you’ll learn more about this in the fish section.) This makes spinners an excellent choice for stained or murky water.

Presentation

Simple as can be. Cast and retrieve, that’s it. As long as the blade is spinning, its working. You can try speeding up or slowing down your retrieve for variety.

Spoons

Spoons are curved metal lures. The first spoons were just that, spoons with the handle broken off. Today, spoons can be had (like all other lures) in any color and size. There is a spoon for every fishing situation. The shape of this lure gives it its distinctive action. Spoons move through water with a side-to-side wobble that simulates an injured baitfish, and game fish just love injured baitfish.

Presentation

Some spoons are made to be cast, others to be trolled, and some even to be jigged. As a beginner you will most likely be using the most common type; the casting spoon. Casting spoons are easy to use. Like spinners, just cast and retrieve. You can vary your speed as long as it’s wobbling. If the spoon begins to spin, slow down your retrieve. Add a split ring to the eye of the lure for better action.

Soft Plastic Baits

Soft plastic baits encompass a variety of different lures, mostly used for bass fishing. The classic soft plastic bait is the worm. These type of baits are created by pouring liquid plastic into a mould and adding dyes, metallic flakes, or even scent. They can resemble the natural forage of fish, like worms, crawfish, lizards or frogs, but some plastic baits don’t resemble anything you might find in or out of the water; these are referred to as creature baits or “critters.” The soft plastic bodies of these lures, encourage fish to hold on to them a little longer before they spit them out, giving the angler a better chance to set the hook.

Presentation

Presentation for soft plastic baits depends on the type of bait. For the classic worm, the most popular technique is the Texas Rig. To rig your worm this way, you use a bullet weight (read the section on sinkers in the terminal tackle post if you don’t know what a bullet weight is). Thread the bullet weight on the the line above your hook, and then insert the hook through the top of the worm’s head, then bury the barb into the body of the worm to make it “weedless” (meaning it will not get hung up on underwater foliage.) Now cast it into a likely fish holding area and let it fall to the bottom. Twitch your rod tip a few times. If you still don’t have a bite, hop it back to you in short twitchy hops.

Plugs

Plugs are constructed from hollow plastic or wood to resemble baitfish, frogs or other prey. They usually sport two or three treble hooks. These hard bodied lures can be fished at almost any depth, as some are made to float or dive or both. Depending on the design, a plug will wobble, rattle or gurgle. They come in all sizes, and most of them have some sort of plastic lip that allows them to dive when you pull them through the water. Different kind of plugs include: crankbaits, jerkbaits, surface plugs, floating/diving plugs, and poppers,

Presentation

One of the most effective (and one of the first plugs you should add to your tackle box) is the long, narrow minnow imitation in three to four inch length, the original is made by Rapala. It floats when its not moving and dives shallowly when it’s retrieved. Add a split ring to the eye if it doesn’t have one. Cast it out and wait until the rings on the surface of the water dissipate, then retrieve it slowly or fast, stopping suddenly and maybe throwing in an occasional twitch.

Spinnerbaits/Buzzbaits

Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits are awkward looking looking lures, consisting of a safety-pin like wire attached to a lead head body. The body usually is dressed with a rubber skirt and the arm with one or two metallic blades like those seen on spinners.

Presentation

The most common way to fish a spinnerbait is what is called “Chuck-N-Wind,” simply cast it out and retrieve it at a moderate speed, keeping the lure at a depth between the surface and five feet. It is a popular technique because it is effective.

Flies

Flies are traditionally used with fly fishing equipment, but with the addition of a clear bubble float, spinning gear will cast flies too. Flies are very light lures that imitate insects in various stages of their life cycle, or other natural prey such as baitfish, leeches, hoppers or even mice and frogs. They are usually constructed of fur and and feathers, though some patterns make use of new materials like foam and rubber.

Presentation

Dry flies are intended to float on the surface of the water, to this end they are dressed with some kind of floatant to aid in their buoyancy. Wet flies, like nymphs and streamers are designed to be fished below the surface of the water. Fly fishing is a difficult but rewarding area of the fishing universe.

Now that you know the basic lures and how they are used, you should have an easier time starting your own collection. Buy only a few at a time, and take the time to learn to fish them. If you know anyone that fishes the same water you do, ask them what kind of lures they like to use and what they recommend.

 

Hooking your fish

Having your hook set properly can mean the difference between catching your dream fish and losing it. The bait you use and the style of hook you use will determine how to set your hook properly. This article will talk about the most common ways to set your hook to catch your dream fish.

Snap-set:
The most popular way of setting your hook, it is ideal for single hook fishing. The best times to use the snap-set are when you are bobbing or jig fishing. To perform the snap-set, first drop your rod tip when you detect a strike. Reel up any slack on your line and quickly snap the rod upward.

Sweep-set:
When you are using multiple hooks or bait with a treble the sweep-set is ideal. Another time to use the sweep-set is when you are fishing with a slip-sinker or Carolina rig. The power is then used to lift the weight off the bottom and not transferred to the hook. To perform the sweep-set, when you feel a fish strikes your bait, sweep your rod away from the fish and keep and steady pressure on the line. Reel at a pace to keep any slack from forming.

Snagging a largemouth bass in any situation

Largemouth bass can be found basically anywhere. They are a very adaptable fish as well as a feisty eater. It takes a certain kind of fisher to be able to draw them out in any condition and this article will go over some of the best tips and tricks to become an excellent largemouth bass fisher.
Fishing for suspended bass

Finding suspended bass is easy catching them is a whole different matter. Often with a depth finder, you can find bass suspending far above bottom. Usually if bass are suspend in open waters at a depth of about 20 feet there is no point in trying to catch them because they are not actively feeding.
If a bass is suspended near some kind of cover they are a lot easier to catch. You can catch them fairly easily by jigging vertically along a sheer cliff or in flooded timber. Use a jigging spoon, vibrating blade or tailspin close to suspended timber and drop the lure into the water. Jig vertically and try to work the upper branches first. Drop the lure continuously until you reach bottom then retrieve it and continue the process.
You will often find bass suspending under schools of panfish in open water. Panfish will swim to a depth of five to 10 feet and bass will suspend several feet below them. Panfish will dimple the surface of the water when they feed on insects on a calm morning or evening. If you see a swirl of a bass grabbing a panfish, try to draw bass out with a topwater lure. Create a disturbance in the water by walking the lure across the surface and keep the lure moving while trying to cover as much distance as possible. You can also use the countdown method that is casting your lure and counting down as it sinks. Begin your retrieve at different intervals until you catch a bass. Once you know where the bass are you can use that countdown to wait until they strike.
