I catch most of my fish on hybrid soft plastics: parts of different lures melted together. It's an obsession to see how many different mixes do well consistently such that I will make sure they are always available. Most outings from spring until recently have produced nice numbers and some trophy fish. Big time satisfaction when I catch fish on new and unique designs!
Here are a few I discovered recently:
French Fry stick that I add curl tail, flat thin tail, forked fin tail, cone tail, spike tail, taper tail - all of which catch fish:
(So much for round body lures!)
Clear plastic taper tail added to Fr Fry segment:
(The clear plastic tail is thinner - different mold)
Mann's Shadow tail added to French Fry segment:
More photos of fish caught on Slugo tail added to Fr Fry:
Mojo Grub right from mold:
Tail shortened/ Spike-It dye applied to one side of clear lure, though recently I caught many fish on the original size:
original size:
Worked pretty good with a spinner:
French Fry stick segment and claw from a crawdad lure used as a tail :
Note: French Fry all-flat-sides stick is one of my best lure bodies when attached to different tails
I would never say these shapes are better than most soft plastics used by other anglers, just that they are different and work equally well as the best out there.
