Custom 3D-Printed Fishing Lures: What You Can Print and How to Order

Most anglers buy lures off the shelf and then spend years working around them. The perfect lure for your local water, your target species or your trolling spread is often the one nobody sells. A 3D printer solves that. You bring the design, we print it in plastic, and you get a lure in the shape you planned.

What you can print

Our store is built around trolling heads. The Alpha Jet Spread Pack and single heads show what a printed head can do: cupped faces, jets and vents that push water into a trail or a splash. For a custom shape, send your file and we will tell you whether it prints well before you pay for a full run.

Start with the file

How custom 3D printing works: upload an STL or OBJ, pick PLA, PETG or TPU, order at the instant price from $9, printed in 3 to 5 days

Upload an STL or OBJ file and the price is worked out from your model straight away. Before you order, check that the file is solid, sized in the units you expect and not full of holes. Our guide on how to prepare an STL file for 3D printing covers the checks that save the most time.

Pick the plastic for the water

Material matters more for lures than for most prints. PLA is stiff and detailed, but it is not the right choice for a lure that will sit in hot sun or a hot car. PETG handles heat and outdoor use better. TPU is flexible and tough. Our comparison of PLA, PETG and TPU walks through which to choose.

Order your custom lure
