Lipless Crankbait

Printing

Print like this with a support blocker to block supports from getting in the weight hole but make sure to have supports for the tail end.

Instructions

Based off of the 6th Sense Snatch Lipless Crankbait Design. This design calls for either some ball bearings or crimp on fishing weights. These are put into the hole in the bait until you fill it up. Then pour layer some baking soda and some superglue (thin glue works best) into the hole filling up empty space and sealing the ball bearings in. While waiting for it to dry. Hammer a nail into a scrap piece of wood. Cut 3 ½ to 5 inches of the wire and bend it around the nail at the halfway point of the wire and slightly crimp the wire so it becomes a loop shape make sure not to crimp it so much that the wire deforms but enough to create almost a circle then take the 2 wire ends and put them in a drill chuck and spin the drill until the twisted wires start to deform. Drill an appropriately sized hole. You should have to twist the wire into the hole. Take the wire back out. Repeat wire making and drilling x3 around the same area as the hooks in the photo (make sure they are centered). Sand to at least 110 grit and make sure to sand. Then apply a drop of glue into the hole and twist the wire into the hole then apply another drop to the top when its fully in. I recommend using gloves for this step as well as the next step and the baking soda step. Next quickly apply superglue to the whole bait to seal the plastic and smooth it. After that paint as desired and then seal again but be careful when sealing a second time because the paint can come off slightly as you can see in the picture so maybe use a brush (have not tested the brush yet).
