What it does
- Pivot design swims like a real fish so bass and pike strike with confidence
- You control the infill level to dial in buoyancy for your local waters
- Larger body holds paint detail better so your custom finish looks sharp
- Print at home so you can make multiple colors for different seasons
Land bigger fish with a lure that moves like the real thing. This 3D-printed diving lure has a working pivot and gills that create realistic swimming action in the water. You get to customize it before you print, from size to weight, so it performs exactly how you want in your local waters.
The larger body holds paint detail better than smaller lures. Paint it to match the feeder fish in your region. Yellow perch, shad, or bright metallics all work. Fish react to movement and curiosity, so the lifelike action does the work for you.
This design has proven results. Anglers have landed 30-inch northern pike and 3-pound smallmouth bass on these lures. You get both the fun of customizing your own tackle and the real-world performance that catches fish.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
