A Tenn. angler liked #7 that I posted on a forum and requested it. I threw in the other shapes just to see if they might also do well for him.
Of the lures pictured above,
all catch fish when fish are found - at least in the waters I fish. The problem with me sending lures to someone is whether certain basic rules are followed using them as well as the type of water fished. I have no idea of what gear he uses or if he imparts action to lures.
He told me that a manmade lake he fishes has little or no vegetation and that artificial trees made of plastic such as these are dropped:
I don't have a clue how he would catch fish using my lures in that cover except if fish schooled nearby. Key to using those designs is a
finesse approach:
thin diameter line, light action rod and light jigheads. I suggested he watch them in the water first to see their different actions and how they move with least angler input. In my many years of fishing, I've found that fish go nuts for subtle action lures!
I would love to see some pictures of fish caught proving once again that
good lures don't tell fish tales regardless the water.
