Who knew a 'light bulb' would turn on - fish that is!

There's an aluminum mold shape I cast named by the mold company Mo Magic - the one on the top.

For some reason I thought to attach the body of the MM grub using a flame to melt the end to the body of a curl tail grub with tail cut off. (The process was described in a recent post about wacky-rigged lures.) Kinda looks like a light bulb don't ya think?

The lure shape produces a waddle in the water similar to a Zara Spook when twitched with the rod tip. Man did it catch fish!

Even the thicker bulb tail did well (the tail dipped once in hot plastic):

Kinda looks like a soft plastic version of a Mop fly. The mop fly has the same waddle action.

Unusual shape but ya can’t argue with success. Cool stuff there

Good stuff there.

Looks very fishy and the fish agreed.:HandsClapping

looks beetle like , or lightning bug maybe , cool for sure :highfive

Very nice!

Color important? Only if you think it is. In my case, if I catch fish on a lure in certain colors, those colors become my go-to colorsfor that lure and much of the time for many others. I wasn't sure using a clear plastic for the bulbs could catch fish, but your comments show support of the rule that: action matters!

When it comes to action, shape and color, the three are contrasts-to-nature immediately detected by fish. Whether or not the three, in combination, provoke fish to strike, time will tell. Good thing the waddle does !

Nice

You gotta lightin bug jig, sounds interesting.
