The Mewthree lure master (re-upload)
Description
Allow me to present a set of blanks one can use to cast 4 different versions of the Mewthree, my first attempt at a soft plastic lure. The idea is that you choose one of the versions, print it out (in as high a resolution as possible), make a mould with it, and use the mould to... well... mould a lure with plastisol or whatever. The ones with "solid" in the name are meant to be fished with one of those screw-in wire harness thingamajigs that have hooks hanging off the bottom (I don't really know the technical term for them). The ones with "hook-slotted" in the name, obviously, have a slot in the underside so you can slip in a big old hook for a weedless rig (for which you're going to need a really big hook, or you're going to need to scale the model down a bit). There are also variants with the tail curve going up and the tail curve going down. Pick whichever one you like. This is still a WIP because I haven't gathered the materials to make my own lures yet, so if anyone manages to make one (or more), feel free to post a make. I'd love to see how it might turn out. UPDATE 18/04/2021: I've added a few files that ought to simplify printing. There are two more files that just consist of the solid body and the hook-slotted body, no tails included. The tail is a separate file, so you can print it separately and attach it in whichever orientation you'd prefer. In these updated files, the paddle legs and the tail insert have been slimmed down so they flap/ wave about more easily (easilier...easierly...I'm a damned English teacher why is this so hard???!!!!). Update 20/04/2021 Soooooo.....it turns out I've been using the wrong word. The thing that one uses to make a mould isn't a blank. It's called a master. Sorry about that.
