Each angler, which for many years enthusiastically engaged in fishing, at least once in my life had to catch on something unusual. Sometimes of necessity, sometimes out of simple curiosity - "bite or not"?
I remember the video from Konstantin Kuzmin in the late 90's, when he caught the zander on the Lower Volga with a lace, removed from the Shoe. Just took the double with a sinker, was tied to the hook grip the lace, and started to catch the jig the wiring. Caught a few Grand in the shot...
I once had right in the boat to do the lure of the tourist rug, which was upholstered Central seat. Just cut a long narrow piece, inserted it into a double, duct-taped a piece of braided cord, and catching great pike and Berchem.
Today, many companies to attract interest in their products produced a fun gift lure (such as in the photo ).
Well, as a gift? Actually the fish they catch. Moreover, the fish will bite them for sure! The main thing to throw such bait in the right place at the right time... Most of these "comic" lures designed to catch pike. It's a very interesting and generally aggressive. And she is ready to try to the tooth everything that at least a little like food and attracts her attention.
In places where fishing shops tugovato, the fishermen use ( if required) bait that we are spoiled with abundance of shelves of urban anglers, no life would catch did not. This and all kinds of crafts out of cans, which only with great reserve can be called spinners ( and to a greater extent due to the presence of the hook). And the remains from butchering small game ( intestines, tendons). That is, in principle everything is that even as it may attract the attention of pike...
Alterations of Cutlery ( spoons, forks) are generally considered normal...
And literally the other day on one of video channels on which I am signed, laid out video as the fisherman catches pike on one of the American lakes on the bait depicting the Nickel-plated button "Play" of the YouTube resource ! )))
I in any case do not appeal to you, colleagues, to throw all your favorite spinners, wobblers, spinnerbait on the mezzanine and go to catch those "funny" lures. Just keep in mind that you can catch fish on such things. After all in life removed any case ;-)
