Those spike tails are one of my favorite designs ! Nice color too.
The fork tail reminds me of my claw tail design. Fish jump on it also.

Looks like the start of a good day Ship

On those fork tails I was double dipping then in clear silver glitter to imitate scales.

An easier way is to use Mend-It glue for soft plastics, though maybe superglue might work. Bush the glue where you want it and press or roll the lure on glitter sprinkled on a flat surface such as a paper plate. (note: craft glitter works fine - I have a bottle that has 4 iridescent colors). The glitter on the surface flashes a bit more than in the plastic but in either case fish do notice subtle flash from a distance.

(note - IMO fish don't interpret glitter as anything .)

Time for a refill on the coffee Ship

I’ve been thinking about those craws, nice job.

I have got to try this idea. Thanks

On the way. LOL

Can't believe it took so long to find a use for Mend-It (it doesn't work for crap to mend torn baits).
The craw claw came from a craw worm used for bass. Cut it off with a box cutter blade and attached it with a candle flame
to a grub body. It's one of the favorite designs that catches all species. Give the method a try on other plastics you don't use but find
parts useful. You never know .......

Nor many other things we do to our baits that we think they do! I’ve poured some of the prettiest baits to man’s eyes and caught zip and then poured stuff that wasn’t attractive to me and nailed them.

If only we could see what a fish sees
