My son recently got into fishing, and since he's still young, I wanted to create a casting trainer that was both safe and practical. It’s flexible and has enough weight to feel realistic without damaging anything around the yard, or hurting him if he gets a little too enthusiastic reeling it in.

It also floats, so it works well for practicing casts into the water.

You can scale it up or down depending on your setup, and if you want to add more weight, just increase the infill percentage when printing.

To attach it, you can simply tie it onto the line, or if you're using a quick-release lure clip, just run the clip through the center and attach it to the other side of the line.
