Another Sassy Shad modification and no-tail grub bodies in general

[senkosam]

I've caught fish on Sassy Shads for years. But recently I thought of a way to make a change in the action of this famous boot tail. All I did was cut off the body so that the action of it is more shimmy than waddle.

But then I had another insight: why not remove the boot tail? Sure enough the tailless lure had a unique action that fish attacked. It looks like this and has caught 5 species:

The action when rigged on a 1/24 oz. jig is a darting back & forth along with pauses.

The tailless design led to the creation of a double-body grub. I cut the curl tails off two grubs and joined them together by using a candle flame to melt and then fuse the ends. It's one of my best innovations and catches everything.

The above post shows lists of all of my soft plastic lure modifications that have proven themselves.

A grub minus the curl tail does just as well:

Looks like a small ned bait!
