The BeaverBack Vobbler

This is a lure I found on Thingiverse designed by Göran Forslund from Sweden.  I’ve never seen a lure quite like this so I thought I’d give it a try.  It is designed and printed in two halves just like all of my lure designs so printing and assembly were very easy.  I printed this at 60% of the original size so it came out to a length of 4.25″.

The lure design has this crazy looking tail and this gives it a unique action to it.  It swims in almost and S pattern while flopping from side to side along the surface of the water.

I’m not sure what type of fish it’s originally designed to catch but I gave it my standard yellow perch paint scheme so I’m sure it will work for some bass. I haven’t fished with it yet (just some quick tests so far) but the only down side I found is if your line catches on the hook it will cause the lure to just spiral on the retrieve causing your line to twist if you do not have a swivel.  I’ll try to get some video of it in action next time I go out.
