Crossover Tactics

A post by cassidyta about walleye hooks got me thinking about crossover tactics or lures that we use for bass but were designed for other species of fish.

For me the best one is using Berkley Walleye nightcrawlers, usually on a shaky head. They only come in natural and black and I've tried both with black being by far the best.

Another one I am using now is a Walleye Assassin 4" Turbo Shad on a swim jig. It is more like a small swimbait but seems to work so far:

One thing that I meant to try this year and have forgotten so far are the Mustad Slow Death hooks. I figured I'd put them on a split shot rig with a swivel: http://www.mustad.no/slowdeath/
and try it with the nightcrawler from above since they are very soft.

What techniques or lures do you use that were designed for other purposes?
