DIY Lure making, the INURIG soft plastic worms experiment
If there is one rig to rule them all it has be the newish Inurig, I showed some footage of this thing underwater to a fellow fisherman and he got so excited he had to lie down for while. The big drawback of the INUrig is the rigging which normally involves drinking straws and superglue, so i thought make my own bait with preinstalled guides for line with a bit of lip to hold them in the worm, I drew up and open pour worm mold with Fusion 360 a free CAD program and modified it to take the guides which i also drew up and then printed the lot on my ender 3d printer, which is a very rubbish 3d printer and it took a couple of goes to get it to print. But then using it was pretty simple and I re-melted some craw baits to cast the worm as they were a little firmer than the Normal soft plastic i use. This is my first experiment with this and it will have to wait for the summer for some sea bass, pollock or wrasse fishing, i will probably make some changes in the hook and may opt for assist hooks.
