Dynamic Lures® is confident about the future of its innovative bait designs. The company takes the lure design process very seriously. Unlike many smaller lure sellers who often use or claim others’ designs as their own, Dynamic Lures® has crafted every model from the initial idea to the final mold since it began. The research and design process is thorough and demanding, but the company believes that creating a durable, high-quality lure capable of withstanding tough fishing conditions takes time. It all starts with an idea that turns into 2D conceptual sketches. This phase can take months until the design feels solid and looks appealing.
Moving from 2D sketches to detailed 3D CAD models is a vital step in design. This stage requires a skilled digital artist to add shape and depth, revealing features like weight balance, stability, and component arrangement. The 3D design phase is especially exciting, as it allows for exploring different angles and perspectives to evaluate the bait’s shape and size.
This 3D modeling process leads to prototyping. Modern technology enables manufacturers to produce many low-cost 3D-printed prototypes, enabling experimentation. Most trial-and-error evaluations aim to identify improvements before final molding. Prototypes are tested in water to observe their performance in real conditions. Assessing how the lure swims and reacts under various fishing scenarios is essential, often leading to numerous modifications and additional prototypes. It’s common to go through dozens of iterations before finalizing a design.
Final molding marks the end of lure development. This process can be costly, so making significant changes at this point is rare. It’s vital to ensure everything is correct, as post-mold alterations are expensive. Once the mold is perfected, the finished product appears detailed and precise.
Afterward, the lure can be painted in various color patterns, chosen based on popularity or consumer demand. Some popular patterns from Dynamic Lures include Brown Trout, Glimmer Trout, HoloFoil Silver, and Ghost Fish. These can be found in local tackle shops, and each is thoroughly developed to attract fish.
