Fishing bait holder (catfish and carp) by mkoic

Last crawled date: 2 years, 11 months ago

This thing is a squeezable basket for holding bait for catfish or carp. Like those little plastic change purses, when you squeeze it the mouth opens up and you can stuff it with whatever type of chum bait you like. The openings will let the chum slowly release, but the basket keeps the chum in place while casting or retrieving. Simply run your line through the holes at the top and bottom of the basket and position it several inches away from your baited hook by using a split shot above and below the basket.
Print this out of a 95A TPU (I use SainSmart). You may have to open up the holes for your fishing line with a 1/16" drill bit.
I printed the one in the pictures with a 0.8mm nozzle and 0.4mm layer height, so it only took about 1 hr and 15 minutes.
