How to Make a Crankbait Lure Complete With a Rattle
This is an instructable on how to 3d print a crankbait with a built in rattle in 3 easy steps. Enjoy!
Design the Crankbait
I designed this crankbait in OpenSCAD. Posted is the code i used:
$fn=10
0;
translate([0,-.5,0]){
rotate([-90,0,0]){
difference(){
union(){
hull(){
sphere(.5);
translate([.4,0,-.05]) sphere(.4);
}
hull(){
translate([.4,0,-.05]) sphere(.4);
translate([.7,0,-.15]) sphere(.3);
}
hull(){
translate([.7,0,-.15]) sphere(.3);
translate([1,0,-.25]) sphere(.2);
}
hull(){
rotate([0,-25,0]){
translate([-1,-.25,0])
cube([.8,.5,.03]);
translate([-.8,0,-.1])
rotate([0,90,0])
cylinder(.8,.06,.06);
}
}
}
translate([-4,0,-2])
cube([8,8,8]);
translate([.06,0,-.025])
rotate([0,-76,0])
cylinder(.6,.07,.05);
translate([0,0,-1])
cylinder(1,.07,.07);
translate([2,0,-.51])
rotate([0,-76,0])
cylinder(2,.07,.07);
translate([.175,.10,-.3])
rotate([90,0,0])
cylinder(.35,.1,.1);
}
}
}
translate([0,.5,0]){
rotate([90,0,0]){
difference(){
union(){
hull(){
sphere(.5);
translate([.4,0,-.05]) sphere(.4);
}
hull(){
translate([.4,0,-.05]) sphere(.4);
translate([.7,0,-.15]) sphere(.3);
}
hull(){
translate([.7,0,-.15]) sphere(.3);
translate([1,0,-.25]) sphere(.2);
}
hull(){
rotate([0,-25,0]){
translate([-1,-.25,0])
cube([.8,.5,.03]);
translate([-.8,0,-.1])
rotate([0,90,0])
cylinder(.8,.06,.06);
}
}
}
translate([-4,-8,-2])
cube([8,8,8]);
translate([.06,0,-.025])
rotate([0,-76,0])
cylinder(.6,.07,.05);
translate([0,0,-1])
cylinder(1,.07,.07);
translate([2,0,-.51])
rotate([0,-76,0])
cylinder(2,.07,.07);
translate([.175,.10,-.3])
rotate([90,0,0])
cylinder(.35,.1,.1);
}
}
}
I designed it to have a thin gauge wire frame to attach the treble hooks and split ring. There is also a hole to put in a bb or two to create a rattle.
Print the Crankbait
I printed this .stl file that was exported from OpenSCAD.
I printed it with supports and a raft at medium Resolution.

Use the Crankbait
On my second cast with this crankbait i hooked a fish, and as i was reeling it in another one came and got hooked two, and right as i got it in, the first one jumped off.
