Back in the 70's. most of the guys use to make their own creature baits by adding the tail of  one lure to the body of another lure. I bet if I take that 4.5 new lizard mold and cut the tail off; then add the back 2.5 inches of that 3 inch thump grub; I'll have a super bass bait that no one else has!

OMG Gary, did you hit a nerve.  I am an old Creature Addict!!!!  I dont even know how many Muskies I have caught on the old Fliptail Creature on a 1/2 ounce Stand-up head.  I made POP molds after they went under.   I was good friends with Tony Portincaso.  He and Steve Worrall were the pioneers.  I did a "30 Years Later" follow up article for Fishing Facts on the Creature.   The cult following of creature fishing for Muskies is dwindling.  Great stuff!!!

Not just muskies, but hog walleyes and bass also!! My biggest bass (6 lb. 4 oz.) came on a lizard creature during a bass tournament!! (That was 1977).

Yes, Musky, LM Bass, Pike and Walleyes.  I don't walleye fish much but some of my biggest walleyes ever came on creatures "by accident".  That was the beauty of the creature.  You never knew what was going to hit it.  But you always got bites.  In fact, pike love it so much, they become a nuisance.  Little Pike tear the heck out of the bodies.
