Cool idea

Featured Replies

I came up with 2 pretty good ideas for soft-baits that as far as I know nobody makes.

The first one is a trick worm with a small twin-tail molded onto the rear to give it a little more action when finesse fishing in stained water.

The second one is a super hog with the tail from a GYCB grub on the rear instead of pinchers, since the grub tail is oversized and really soft it moves a lot of water. Plus the colors blend perfectly, the super hog is watermelon/red whil the grub tail is pumpkin/orange and when the sun hits it man it is the best lookin color I've ever seen.

Tell me if you like 'em.

Very nice basspro48!

I think Gambler makes a creature bait like that though. I'll double check, but I think they do. But hey, they're not as popular as other so it may serve you well! Good Luck with them!

Maybe I could market mine as the Canadian Bacon Rind <groan>  :)  

Nice hybrids!!  I have quite a few Brush Hogs lying around. I'll cut off the double tail and fuse it to a straight worm. I did the same thing with a lizard last year to copy the Zellamander lizard and never thought to use the dt on a straight worm or cut off the paddles and arms of the Brush Hog, leaving the tails.

Here are a few others I came up with, using zipper worm and Beaver copies:

The lure with the shad tails is a Gambler Otter copy. The Beaver body with skirt, is something BPS listed in their 2006 cat.

(The lizard and shad are just modifications and displayed as personal reminders.)

Those thongs look freakishly awesome!!!...I bet those froghead ones would be killer on bass around here. :)  

Check the link ever so often. I add pictures of new modifications and successful copies once a week. They are there as an archive (in case my pc blows up, :'( ) and for anyone to get ideas.
