Here are two goby blades I have been playing with for a year or so and they are both working great. Gobies have become a prime food source for Browns, Lakers, Smallmouth, and Walleyes on the Great Lakes. Gobies sit on the bottom and "hop" from spot to spot. The blade is a perfect imitation. These have both preformed very well. The Erie looks more realistic, but the Stand-up makes it easy for them to pick the bait off the bottom. For those of you not familiar with gobies, they have that weird irregular shaped spot near their dorsal. That's air brushed on. These would also be a good imitation for deep water Sculpin.
To lessen snags and to be able to let a bait sit on the bottom, I have reduced to one hook. It hasn't seemed to reduce hooking abilities at all. They engulf it. Most hits come on the fall, but some come as it is resting still on the bottom.
