    pretty neat, have you fished with them any if so do they run pretty true and how durable are they, have read that the PLA plastic is pretty brittle and was just wondering if you've had any crack ors break on you.

    Yes, I have fished them. They have a great tight action.

    ANY crankbait, not just home made ones, usually need to be tuned. There are dozens of YouTube videos that show how to easily bend the front eye to get them running in line.

    And the PLA plastic is WAY stronger than need be for this application. I am running two outer walls and zero infill.

    Next step is dunking in white primer. I use 3 dunks to get a nice base. I always use a white basecoat before putting on any other colors.

    That's my shed. I have a 20x30 metal building with heat and air conditioning. I gave myself a present when I retired to use as a playroom.

    I build RC model aircraft, rods, lures, and anything else that strikes my fancy. And clean up when it gets too crowded to get around in. :

    Don't stop there. Send her to my house. As a disclaimer though I'm not responsible for the mental breakdown she's gonna have after seeing my house and the work that cut out for her
