Is that going to be strong enough?

@Nathan_Walkner yeah but you don’t use a worm to catch the fish. You use the hooks for that, the worm is just bait. Just kinda seems like there isn’t a lot of plastic up by the swivel.

I have printed a number of these and they do in fact work, actual fish caught… https://photos.app.goo.gl/I2Jrx2y9J4OGjfCa2

Looks interesting. What material did you use?

Beautiful

@Jeff_Parish if you are asking me, just simple PLA, I am sure it won’t hold up but it’s caught a few fish, I gave it to my friends son, he loves it.

@Kevin_Danger_Powers I’ve done a couple tests and it seems to be OK. I would NOT use it if you expect to catch bigger fish though. I’m going to–do some ABS prints in the future to see if they are any stronger.

@Rp_White_KF5VLM Nice video

MakeTech · January 25, 2018, 9:01pm

@Jeff_Parish I used PLA for this one. I’ll probably go with ABS in the future.

@MakeTech I guess big fish was really my concern. If you’re just catching little bluegill or something then I’m sure it would work just fine.
