-Up turned trailer hook on a soft plastic frog (A.K.A. Stanley Ribbit, Tiki Toad, ect.)
-Lucky Strike Bass Magic have a hole in the back of the tail from the process of making them that allows scent to be injected into the hollow body
-Slitting the belly of a hollow belly swimbait from the point of hook entry to a point close to the head. The resulting slot makes it easier to rig straight and eliminates the problem of the weight on the popular swimbait hooks from interfering on the hook-set.
-Finish nails in Flukes, Senko-type baits, ect. for added weight and a natural profile.

I'll have to try the plastics at the nose. I do add Gulp minnows, double tail grubs to the hook, as a trailer for my spinnerbaits. Really improves hook ups. Fish don't spit them as fast. I also use marker pens to add color. Red to imitate blood. Chart and black here and there. I do this to cranks as well. I always have markers in the boat.

Iowabasser,
Those look interesting. I think the action on them would be much better than the shorter split tail grubs I've been using. I'll give em a try.
