soft plastic hybrids
After a friend demonstrated how to fuse plastics together, I've come up with about 50 hybrids that not only catch multispecies of fish, but can be molded in plaster.
You can probably recognize the components of the various lures, though for some, certain baits had to be used to get the required action and profile. My Cuttail knock off using a Zoom Speed Worm and a Power Worm appeal to crappie when used nose-hooked, no wt. or split shot. Here's a few:

Senkosam, you are always thinking, I like that about you. Now can you explain to me how you are fusing plastics together. I am very curious. You said a candle and a soldering iron?
Please go into detail please.

It's so simple, yet such a great way to transform anyone's plastic into something totally unique that can catch fish.
1. start with a soft stick
2. cut in half to simulate the repair of a torn, 70 cent Senko. ( Your own soft sticks are easier because Senkos have too much salt for a clean weld, though it will still work.)
3. hold both halves over a candle or stove flame such that they catch fire or beging to melt a little.
4. Hold the halves together and blow on them a little.
5. If there are some seams or bulges of melted plastic, you can either roll the joint over the flame and then cool or use a soldering iron to smooth any areas you want. I also use the iron to melt off flashing in tight areas of molded plastics. (Radio Shack has great Iron with dead-man switch and power light for under 15 bucks.)
