Hooked on Rat Lures

Nothing detonates a surface like a bass crushing a rat. When my beloved Moreau Rat vanished from shelves, I refused to quit — I started designing in 2020 and set out to create the ultimate replacement.

Learned the Craft

Blender3D tutorials and an entry‑level printer turned sketches into plastic overnight. Watching pixels become a lure was addictive.

Prototyped Relentlessly

Screen‑perfect doesn't equal water‑perfect. After each 17‑hour print I'd sprint to the test tank—some floated true, others flopped, every one taught a lesson.

Experimented Everywhere

Bathtub trials, dawn reservoir sessions, endless tweaks to joints and design. Dialling in that seductive swim proved half science, half art.

Connected & Collaborated

Linked up with veteran builder SacPig on Instagram. Together we birthed Mischief series of precision‑tuned rats built to smash personal bests.
