Lure modifications

[senkosam]

Here's some more recent shots of lure mods that did well this year in four different lakes:

First off, a Senko was the first soft stick that I used wacky-rigged to catch bass. Not until years later did I figure to downsize in length and diameter a min-stick that catches everything. Mini sticks can be rigged wacky with a light ball head jig:

Note the clear plastic also used with his hybrid grub mod, front rigged:

Who says lures have to have color?!


This was the first mini with rig I ever made and it caught fish first time out:

The sticks shown come from an injection mold, some added to grub bodies or straight from the mold. I guess having caught bass on a Zara Spook - clear plastic no less - contributed to the soft plastic design and intended action
