One of my favorite fishing lures is Helin's Flatfish, which dates from the 1930s, but is still available from the Yakima Bait Company. The shape delivers very organic motion over a wide range of retrieval speeds. As a kid making my own wooden fishing lures, I tried to improve upon it... with little success. This, my first attempt at 3D printing a similar design, caught two largemouth bass (shown here) in half an hour! You'll probably catch more fish with a real Flatfish, but catching any fish at all on a homemade 3D-printed lure is cool.
I've now added an improved second design in three sizes....
