I drew these some many, many years ago and thought I'd throw them up here just for you Skip. Granted they will be a lot smaller than I had I had originally drawn them for, sea bass, ling cod, really big stuff but I thought I would post em up for you and maybe give you some ideas for an off the drawing board plastic. Sorry they are kinda rough but I drew them using MS paint some 15+ years ago.

They are very interesting sketches that you made for SKIP I would imagine that you were gonna downsize to 2 inch any one of them could be made by print a lure.
If you want to try them, go for it. It was kind of a joke to direct them at Skip specifically, that and I was dead tired when I found them and had to get them shared before I lost them again.
If anyone needs something drawn for an idea let me know. Have nothing but time and would love to help out.
Will try to send you some sketches when I get time I definitely would like to see what they look like after you work with them.
That top one was very interesting. I can visualize it morphing into something like "That Thing" lure. Curiosity.Quote:

Individual tentacles/knobs all the way around? Diameter about 1/4 body with 1/8 tentacles?
Yes on the knobs all the way around body 1/4Quote:

something like that for a start?

Been years since I played with AutoCAD but getting the hang of it again. getting closer snake?

Those bumpy bodies remind me of these that Snake River used to make.

Looking good you’re getting closer and closerQuote:

Once I get there I can send you the file and you can give it to someone who can CNC it out for you. Or I get rich and buy my own CNC machine.
Can't believe how much I remember from 20 or more years ago.
Hey yes we got the machining part all figured out already If we have a mold made we will make sure that you get a couple thousand.Quote:

I love using CAD and I might just have to take a college course or two to get caught up on working in 3d.
Sending you a PMQuote:

I really like to do, other than fish.....
Thank you my mole maker did get back to me he said the cost on those would be very expensive meaning that they would probably be a 20 cavity mold would probably be over $400 but thank you for working on this project we have to do something more streamlined and not so much detail he explain to me the tooling would require a lot of work so anyway we will work on something else in the future here pretty quickQuote:
