Sam,
You need to add the [\img] at the end of the last two pictures and then they will embed in your post.

I love the pictures and your creativity. It gives all of us ideas of how to make our own combinations. How do you get the 2 two small rubber bodies to stick together? Would a heat gun work? Does hot glue stick to these rubber bodies?

sorry, I think the img part has to be in all caps. Now the top pictures disappeared too. Sorry if I messed you up. Probably a moderator could help fix it.

Thanks for the information though it is very helpful

Sam, I don't know what you have got going on, but your obviously catching fish with your Franken-lures.

I am having difficulty understanding the neon green lure and how it is rigged to the jig head. I hate to stress you with another photo request as all forums seem to have their nuances when it come to posting pics, but an explanation of how the green grubs fused at the ends is hooked by the jig hook would be interesting.

QA,
I believe he's got it rigged wacky style thru the middle of the grub. Equal lengths floating on each side of the hook shank.

Never heard of "wacky style". I had to look it up on utube...looks promising. Thx Mike.

Killer rig with a Senko! I use a rubber O ring pushed down over it to where I want the hook to be and slip the hook between the lure and O ring, instead of thru the lure so the bait lasts a lot longer. The senko is loaded with salt and is heavy enough to cast w/o weight and it sinks slowly. Fish it like you would a jerk bait. If you have a lot of grass, use a weedless hook to twitch it thru the cover....and hang on!!

strange that about 1 out of 4 of your pictures embed in the link and the others do not. Anyone know why?

It appears to be caused by the question mark & number at the end of the url. All the ones that display do not have that.

Reaction lure Company, one of my sponsors when I fished pro had a soft plastic called a icycle. About 4 inch long. Shaped like a pool cue stick. I fish it on the back of a beetle spin and my lmb can't stay away from it!! Also Quarter Acre ...wacky worm fishing was a old guides trick from all the way back in the 1960's on Toledo Bend Reservoir here in east Texas and west Louisiana. It was a well kept secret for many years. In the 80's everyone was talking about the "new" wacky style of fishing. I actually helped a hook designer for Mustad hook design the "finacky hook" It had a minute amount of lead molded onto the shank of the hook to help it drop. I always fished it with a 8 inch worm hooked in the middle. Have caught lmb over 11 pounds on that bait!! I'm tellin my age now aren't I...

Senkosam, The Reaction Lure Company that I spoke of was in Many Louisiana on Toledo Bend Reservoir. Guess they may be totally out of business now. I still have cases of some of their old soft plastics!! Reaction Innovation seems like it is a totally different organization. Though I would think by them using that name that my old company must be out of business. But I must say the Pocket Rocket does look interesting!!

Good memories to share, Flame. Oddly, I've never had much luck on wacky style worms, probably because I have zero confidence in them & give up after 5 fishless minutes!

I hate to see lures collect dust after years of sitting in a closet, so a few years ago I decided to modify soft plastics lures. Since Most curl tail grubs don't work for me as often as other soft plastics and finesse action lures I've designed, I search for others that work most of the time and on all freshwater fish species.

One lure is capable of catching all sizes of catfish, panfish, bass, pickerel, gold shiners and carp - the more the merrier!

The question was asked about the unnatural green color. Fish aren't bright enough to care as long as the lure moves the right way and is within a certain size range.


Thanks! I'm looking to target CNBG and smaller LMB and this looks like a great idea.

But I've found that fish DO care about lure color at times, for reasons I frankly don't understand. One thing I have experienced: gold colored jigworms get far less LMB action than any other color I've tried, regardless of season or BOW.
