A browser-based lure designer models how a stickbait or popper will sit in the water, then prepares files for CNC cutting or 3D printing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-01 issue.
For
Small lure makers moving from hand carving to repeatable runs
Worth noticing
The CNC workflow includes flip registration, tabs, tool-clearance checks, and a setup sheet for the blank and machining steps.

Field notes

The design process can start from side and top photographs scaled to a measured lure length, or from presets for several stickbait and popper types. Users can enter their timber density, while the float check also accounts for coating, wire, hooks, and ballast. For CNC work, the page describes glue-face and shape passes, a flip onto dowel pins, and a setup sheet; it also describes paired-half exports for 3D printing.
