Sometimes it worthwhile just to experiment with different hook sizes, if they can be changed easily.

Rebels or Redfins whose lips have broken off can make nice "twitching" topwater lures.

Try scraping the paint of an old "G-finish" Rebel down to the mother-of-pearl body.

Here's one a guy up at the Cape told me---get a pink Bomber and spray paint it "Caterpillar yellow" and then abrade it so some of the pink shows thru. He swears by this lure.

here is one of mine:

i heat the lip of a red fin and bend it back so that its straight down it swims better at slower retrives and leaves a bigger wake
