Look What Came In The Mail
« on: September 23, 2015, 06:46:20 AM »
Well, since xjchad posted up his fun with the 3-D printer, I was stoked to see what it could make.  He made something for me and put it in the mail.

3-D printers are just crazy stuff...

My Coelacanth Lure!   Thanks Boss!  It's awesome!

You can't catch them from your computer chair.

Tom,
Glad you liked it!  I thought about trying to paint it, but I think you'd do much better at that than I could.

LOL, with those leg like fins I'd recommend a "walk the dog" retrieve!
Really though, it's not fishable.  The hooks are only attached to small eyelet screws that don't have enough bite into the material to hold much weight.
