New soft plastic shapes & actions are my goal. I have many al. molds but use very few lures poured from them. As I've posted before, hybrid/modified lures that catch fish is an exciting obsession and a never ending search for lures that make fish respond. Even shortening a lure can make all the difference between catching a few fish to hooking a bunch.

The spike tails shown are a combination of injection poured tails melted on to grub bodies with curl tails removed. The spike tail lures shown below work great when the bite is easy but not so much when fish only go after something smaller.

Recently, small shallow fish have been nipping the tails all the way back to the boat, not commiting to getting the lure in deep enough. So, I shortened the tail by 1/4" and caught yellow and white perch that were nipping the tail as well as crappie, small bass and sunfish.

Other mods worked good that day and the day before totaling over 100 fish. Of course finding fish is #1 - casting lures they will strike #2. Light jigs are my usual weights to get lures down to fish; working those lures right, #3.
