This a little glide style bait I designed a few years back for 3d printing, but 3d printing takes for ever so I made a silicone mold so i could use polyurethane resin to cast the lure bodies which takes less than twenty minutes to cure. I added a couple of rattles to give it a bit noise and decided to through wire the whole thing for a little more safety using a jig I designed and printed and pair of very blunt wire cutters.
