These Ultralight Crankbaits were inspired by rallekralle11's tink crankbaits they are just a little more stream line but being so they don't have as much action (wobble) as his. They still work great and I caught a ton of Bluegills and Yellow Perch on my first outing with them.
They are printed in two halves and glued together (I used superglue) a single thin piece of wire is bent to form the loops and fits in between the halves running front to back for tie on and the hook mount. I few short pieces of 1.75mm filament are used as pins to align the two halve while joining. They can be painted to suit your fishing needs.
I tried to seal them with Miniwax spray on polyurethane but it didn't protect them enough so I went back and coated these with EnviroTex Lite Pour-On High Gloss Finish epoxy and it worked out much better.
I used Size 1 Split Rings and Size 10 Terrible Hooks with them and they have a very slight sink rate (borderline suspend) when not being retrieved. They worked best with a slow retrieve but your results may vary. They run about 1' of depth on the retrieve.
