Fishing Lure (Wobbler) for Pike, Perch, and more

🎣 3D-Printed Wobbler – Self-Developed & Successfully Tested 🐟

I **designed, tested, and continuously improved this wobbler within a month** until it **runs cleanly and stably**
With **14 cm in length** and **approx 43 g in weight (incl lead & hooks)**, it is perfect for various predatory fish

It is printed from **PLA** and can then be individually refined – **appearance & durability can be significantly improved**

🖨️ Print Settings (Recommendation)

🧱 **3 walls (Bottom shell layers: 1)**
🧩 **35% Infill**
🔥 **200°C Extruder**
🛏️ **60°C Heatbed**
🪵 **Material: PLA (Polylactide)**

🔩 Additionally Required

⚠️ **Not included, but necessary:**

• **Steel leader with 3 split rings** **or**
• **1mm-1.5mm thick wire** **or**
• **3 screw eyes**
• **about 7g lead / steel balls**

🎨 Finish & Durability

For **better appearance and longer lifespan** I treated the wobbler:
🎨 painted
🧪 coated with **epoxy resin** to optimally protect the paint

✅ Why you should recreate it:

🎣 **Clean movement in water**
📏 **14 cm – ideal size**
⚖️ **Approx 43 g total weight (closer to 50g with post-processing)**
🖨️ **Easy to print with PLA**
🎨 **Individually customizable**
🛠️ **Perfect for DIY anglers & tinkerers**

💬 **Feedback, tests & suggestions for improvement are welcome in the comments!**

👉 **Download, print, refine – and then: Good luck fishing 🐟**

🛠️Here is the assembly guide:

1. Print the file with a layer height of 0.08mm (high quality recommended for painting) or 0.2mm (Print and Fish) layer height

2. Either bend a wire axle from a 1mm-1.5mm thick stainless steel wire (or glue in screw eyes. IMPORTANT ONLY WITH GOOD ADHESIVE LIKE 2K EPOXY ADHESIVE OR DIRECTLY EPOXY RESIN)

   

   

3. Add weights (in my case 2x 6mm steel ball or about 3g lead. I heated the front ball and pressed it in for better hold. It is important to remove the resulting edge, otherwise the halves will not fit together perfectly)
4. (Optional until step 8) Coat the lure with a layer of epoxy resin and then sand it so that there are no print lines later in the paint

5. Paint the lure as desired, I use an airbrush gun for this (I think stencils and UV colors are great😊)

   

6. I also think big eyes look cool
7. Apply another protective layer of epoxy so that the paint is optimally protected (for the best result, use a lure carousel)

8. Attach hooks and split rings. I use VMC hooks and split rings for all my lures (whether 18cm catfish cranks or 13.5cm jerks). I find that the **VMC BN 7554 Black Nickel 2X Treble Hooks** in size **N°1** (NOT 1/0) fit perfectly with the **VMC Split Ring X-Strong** in size **N°4 (36.5KG)** for this lure
