Catching fish on a huge variety of lure shapes and actions over the last 40 years proves: 1. fish are less selective of what they will attack given presentations that fit with lures cast 2. color doesn't matter at all whereas confidence colors and lures do. Even clear hard or soft plastics catch...

I leave large plastics alone except for the Kut Tail, Flip Tail and Softie worms. (Bet not too many use a worm with a B.Spin.)

Spike tails added to grub bodies tick fish off at the slowest speed.

Joker grub tails have also done well when added to another body:

Front-end rigs do well with other hybrid shapes. I poured some grubs (company name: Mo Magic), joined them to a grub body with a rounded light bulb shape, the tail. ....or larger grub body was attached to a small grub. ...or a thin worm was cut and the ends rounded using a flame. The...

Mini-sticks can also be rigged from either end and may be two grubs joined, the front of or the tapered end of a stick: (Note the clear plastic)

Joining two grub bodies with or without tails makes for some unique shapes and actions. One is the wacky rig. The idea came from the wacky rigged Senko that moved in a way that no lure had before. The ends quiver on the drop or when slight rod tip twitches are used.

Adding claws from craw lures has done very well. Sassy Shad body: \/ Variations in color may make a difference, but I can't imagine when.

Making lures has been as important to me as much as fishing. 1. I can test theories regarding combinations of lure shape/ action/ size/ color 2. I can disprove much of the media crap that's not worth the air time or paper meant to sell lures but labeled as undeniable (kinda like political B.S.)...

I had some spike-tail grubs hanging around and thought, 'what if I joined two together and wacky rigged them with the points sticking out'? As soon as I wacky-rigged it I knew fish would go beserk clobbering it after watching those twitching legs. Sho enough I wasn't disappointed and joined...

I used to hate it when my soft plastic lure would slide down the hook after a short while. The lead barb doesn't hold the lure and also leaves a large hole in the lure when rigged. Enter the Soft Plastic Wire Grip. All you need is coated floral arrangement wire from any department store or...

There are many lures that can catch fish on the B.Spin. This design in particular has a thin flat tail that flutters when the blade rotates: It does exceptionally well when used by itself on a light jig. Can't get much more finesse in action than that. My other favorite is the curl tail grub...

Thanks for the video Snopro. The presentation is one I rarely use: working the bottom in different ways.

The split tail is not IMO a major design enhancement. Used by itself neither the Trout Magnet nor Crappie Magnet do better than my finesse tail and no-tail designs used with or without the spinning blade.

'Natural' is not a word in my fishing lure vocabulary. Not bragging, but I haven't gone fishless since I only used live bait many decades ago. Maybe it's because I know where to find fish -#1- in the local waters I've gotten to know like the back of my hand. They include ponds, lakes, rivers...
