Ultralight Crankbait Lure

These Ultralight Crankbaits were inspired by rallekralle11's tink crankbaits they are just a little more stream line but being so they don't have as much action (wobble) as his. They still work great and I caught a ton of Bluegills and Yellow Perch on my first outing with them.

They are printed in two halves and glued together (I used superglue) a single thin piece of wire is bent to form the loops and fits in between the halves running front to back for tie on and the hook mount. I few short pieces of 1.75mm filament are used as pins to align the two halve while joining. They can be painted to suit your fishing needs.

I tried to seal them with Miniwax spray on polyurethane but it didn't protect them enough so I went back and coated these with EnviroTex Lite Pour-On High Gloss Finish epoxy and it worked out much better.

I used Size 1 Split Rings and Size 10 Terrible Hooks with them and they have a very slight sink rate (borderline suspend) when not being retrieved. They worked best with a slow retrieve but your results may vary. They run about 1' of depth on the retrieve.

Enjoy.... and post some makes if you use these it lets me know I'm not wasting my time uploading my designs and if you like what you see check out more of my lures at https://www.theneverendingprojectslist.com/
