Nathan Posted March 26, 2003 Report Share Posted March 26, 2003 I'll kick this forum off with a question,What do you consider a hybrid lure? With a back ground in fly tying,and plug making,I find myself crossing the line on several occasions. What are your thoughts?..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redg8r Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 Hi Nate, I actually thought of this as I made the forum for it, but IMO A hybrid lure could be a few different things but I figure your "Assasin" fits the bill nicely....A jointed crankbait with a soft plastic tail. If fellas dropped by with ideas or pics of baits they couldnt quite pick a forum to put em in, this one's the place for it. redg8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsworms Posted March 27, 2003 Report Share Posted March 27, 2003 I once saw a guy on ebay selling a soft plastic worm that he called "Hybrid Bug". It looked to me like a cross between junebug and redbug; very cool lookin' color. I always thought this was the explanation of "hybrid"; crossing 2 species/colors. Considering that, I guess I make lots of hybrids, and I would assume lots of us tacklemakers do to If anyone has any pictures of their hybrids (soft or hard plastics), I would sure love to see 'em.

BuggermanBob Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Hi, Nathan. Yea, I know what you mean! The 'Buggers' that I make are simply bucktail jigs on the surface. But I don't make them the usual way and some of the different styles/designs I make aren't fished like a jig and don't look like a jig. I have endevered to use the bucktail jig as a starting point, then produce variations that can be fished differently than a jig. Once I started thinking 'out of the box', I was suprised how many actually did what they were designed to do. I've made 'Buggers' that will cast with a spinning rod, land and float, then when you tug the line, it breaks the surface and floats ever so slowly down to the depth you want to start your retreve. I made one 'Bugger' that , when trailed with a tube, will sit on the water for 12 seconds, then(on its own) will turn down and sink.(bet I can't do that again!) How would a guy classify these?

Stick~em Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Here's a few Hybrids I made in just a few minutes with PRO's Soft~Bait Glue. They are all different manufacturer's soft~plastics cut up and used to make your unique' bait of choice, and any hand pours will work also.

Maze Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 Hey Buggerman, Could we see a few pics of those when you have time ? They sound very intersting and I can't wait to see what they actually look like! Maze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
