So his conclusion was that jig heads with eyes were much more important to anglers than it was to the fish.
That goes for most lures sold. Designing/making my own lures has proven beyond a doubt that unconventional lure designs with the right action and retrieve do far better than many of those marketed as specific to a fish species. I can't be limited to lures like those when there are so many others that catch fish.

The Crappie Magnet is one of the most versatile lure exceptions as my partner demonstrates every time we fish. Of the over 70 fish (four species) we caught today, he kept up with me fish for fish and refuses to use anything else and in only one color to boot! I call his choice BBB for Bob's Boring Bait LOL. As for me - I got to have the variety as exemplified above and maybe, just sometimes, different fish bite different lures better at different times on the same day.
