For me, it's the challenge of catching fish on new ideas

[Spoonminnow]

There's nothing wrong with using a few confidence baits that do well in most waters and seasons, but I need to test new and retest old lure designs and ideas. I get a WOW! feeling when they catch fish of all sizes and species (as most have seen from my posts).
Here are a few:

I want to confirm the wacky rigged and front rigged mini stick:


Different Beetle Spin grub designs :


Chubby grub with flat tail:


Also weedless jigs and tubes with increased body bulk just to name a few.

Note: for those that think the fished were snagged (pretty much impossible) or fake hooked, if that were so' I wouldn't have added the photos to my photo logs from which these came.
