I guess in my next print ill probably try to make the lure a bit slimmer and a bit deeper in the belly. Hopefully that will stop it from almost turning backwards when I jerk it a bit too hard Yep that's correct, I'm currently just printing the holes for my handmade twisted wire eyes and epoxying everything together. How do you manage to avoid 2 part baits, do you just print the entire thing in 1 piece and drill out the required areas manually? Do you typically just have them solidly filled or do you also have a small air pocket on the top to keep the bait rightside up? I'm currently of the mind that the air pocket is required but would like to know if you just print the entire thing as one solid block. The throughwire method is definitely something i have considered but I don't really have a nice wire bending setup for them currently so I just have the screw eye holes printed into each half of the lure. Maybe it is a bit easier to do than I think? I'll definitely take a look at this! Thanks for all the info!

With a wire leader, the lure sinks slightly nose down. I also added an air pocket in the top half of the lure to shift weight to the bottom. Would I want to shift the weight a bit towards the tail so that the sinking levels out a bit more?

Hey everyone I just started lure making using a 3d printer. I decided to try to create a slow sinking pike glide/jerkbait. I'm having an issue where any small jerk makes the bait over turn when trying to walk it. I was wondering if people with more experience would know how to fix it? I was thinking maybe increasing the belly depth would improve the walking action. Image for reference bait is 9.5cm in length and about 1cm thick, ~26 grams
