Beautiful work and explanation not to mention results!
This lure and many others I cast have this color pattern:
chartreuse/ black/ orange
Note: I used Spike-It dye to color white and translucent chartreuse plastic grubs.
Coincidental is that the colors are the colors of a yellow perch.
All species of fish strike lures with that color combo, so if it ain't broke, ........
The other thing I rediscovered was the tailless grub body shown above. (recently posted elsewhere)
Last week fish jumped all over it in two sizes: 1" and 1.5" rigged on a 1/32 oz jig/ #6 hook. I just found an old photo of it being used with a Beetle Spin after a fish bit off the tail. It caught fish!
Try it sometime - cut off the tail and rig it on a light jig head. No more nippers attacking the tail and not getting hooked!
Fish caught on it:

Yesterday was another phenomenal day considering the lake level dropped even lower.
The tailless body did great catching 5 species! Mixed schools in shallow water kept me busy even with the constant 15 mph wind.It started out as a chartreuse with flakes, store-bought minnow with rear tail. I cut off the tail, added some black stripes and an orange belly and rigged it on a 1/64 oz jig.
Depth fish caught: 2-4'.
I went bigger with a larger curl tail grub with the tail cut off. I caught fish - even small fish!
A Mann's Shadow rigged on a light jig caught bass and crappie:
The nippers clued me in where fish were in general and the rest 42 fish between 12pm and 3:30pm.

Did great today with the perch pattern grub until a pickerell bit it off on touch down. Second cast using a Beetle Spin and curl tail and it nailed it, but at least I got to fight the monster long enough until it wrapped the line around the anchor rope. Not so this beauty that measured 2' long.
Next cast, a 2 lb bass.
Grub body caught both.
Nice looking catch and loved the colors on the pickerel. They are a guided missile.
