I checked my records and last year and so far this year I have caught 22 CC on lures - mostly small in-line spinners, but a few on crankbaits (Fat A, Shallow Shad-Rap). I caught about 3 times that many on worms or prepared baits, but I baitfish more than I use lures.

The cats were fed 6-7 days a week last year, 3-4 days a week this year. Most of the forage in the pond is GShiners which are mostly much bigger than the lures I catch CC on. I don't know whether changing forage fish size would affect the CC hitting lures or not.
