aulrich Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Bought this body years ago from wlure mostly as a joke since at that point I thought it was comically huge. As it turns out this body ended up being one of my most productive lures I never saw the body for sale again. So out of curiosity is it a minnow bait or a jerk bait.

ravenlures Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 Cedar Run Outdoors or Lure Parts Online. Not sure it is exactly but really close. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulrich Posted April 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Sorry the original vendor was Wlure, I am currently printing my own KO of this KO. I am just wondering if this lure is considered a jerk bait or not, the distinction is fuzzy in my head.

Outlaw4 Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 bass fishing it'd be considered a jerkbait musky / pike fisherman may be inclined to call it a minowbait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiverSmallieGuy Posted April 8, 2022 Report Share Posted April 8, 2022 If it floats, I would call it a minnowbait, if it is a suspender, I would call it a jerkbait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aulrich Posted April 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Suick ... I need to make one, never used one but they look interesting Not 100% but close enough for a swim test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly voodoo Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Have you given any of your 3D printed baits a swim test yet? maybe go pull a big brown out of the bow river Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aulrich Posted April 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 That's for next weekend. Springtime and a lure got me my PB 24" Brown. This time of year to runoff is my favorite time to fish the bow. But I have not fished it much since getting a hunting dog. Training then just walking the dog took the place of hitting the river after work, FYI it was worth the trade . This week I will be busy painting, but I keep getting side tracked with ideas I fought Fusion till 1am and still had to adjust after the first print. This lipless was from a thread in 2016 A guy was looking for a discontinued lure, I liked the profile and and it has been spinning around my head since then. All I had was a crappy picture so I expect that other than profile it's nothing like the original. I did float test some of the bodies I have made, Ironically I am out of big hooks so that was all I could do. But the 4" version of the minnow might be a happy accident, with paint hooks and clear coat it may end up near neutral. So I Think I had accidentally made a jerkbait :). Hopefully I did not delete the GCode for that print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchilton Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 If swim test is not to your liking and weight/balance are pretty close I'd suggest building up the back-side of the bill to be more like the original. Back side can influence vortex formation. I'd use super glue + baking soda or hot melt glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly voodoo Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 You are going to have a fair number of 3D printed lures to test by the time you get out there. I suck with computers so likely will never get into 3D printing but find it interesting When I lived in Calgary and Canmore I fished the bow a lot with both gear and fly. Caught lots of big browns out of that river. My PB was a 29inch brown caught below the bearspaw dam in bowness. I caught in on a 1 1/2 once in line spinner I made to swinging in deep fast water. From what I hear access is now restricted there I am curious on how you progress with these 3D lure and hope to hear your results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
