Description
[This lure is now for sale at Shapeways!](https://www.shapeways.com/product/G6V2N4WAA/swim-bait-fishing-lure) It now has chambers for larger BBs and weight is offset for better action. Updates for thingiverse coming soon
Here's an awesome demonstration video of the lure by TallFishermanJ:

This lure Prints in one piece and has multiple hinged segments that loosen up once the lure is bent back and forth a few times. This gives it a swimming action and it has internal chambers for adding metal bbs for rattles.

I also experimented with a handful of other lure designs, you can see them [here](http://www.jacobstanton.com/testing-out-3d-printed-fishing-lures/).
Printing:
This lure prints laying flat on its side, using support. Once printed, the support can be cut off and once the lure is bent at the joints, they should loosen up.
