Thread: Something to put the imagination to work when fishing is out

I've found soft plastic lures that can be changed together to alter body or tail shape and action. Whether store bought or poured soft, plastic lures designs can create using a flame and the parts of two different lures. Most move slightly different in the water and more than one different species of fish. You can always downsize or increase a lure's size while still keeping shape and action.

What has surprised me was how it seems hybrid lures - lure parts attached - caught fish better than the originals. Here are some examples: hybrids or just parts cut off of a Sweet Beaver. (Note the claw from the Beaver added to a grub body (above) caught this and a bunch more panfish):



One of my best discoveries: fuse the bodies of two grubs after removing the curl tails:

Wacky rig a light jig or rig the usual way and FISH ON!


Claw of a craw lure added to a grub body:



Two tails from an injection grub mold added to a worm segment/ wacky rigged:



Kut Tail Worm tail added to a thicker grub body:

Even small sunfish jump on it:



Added a tail spike to a grub body:



Here I added the head of a craw lure to a grub body:


Most of us have many unused plastic lures hanging around. The sub-hobby to connect the parts I've found catch fish when rigged on a light jig head. Fish sense lure shape, size and action even at night and much of the time strike these like no tomorrow!
