Unusual Rockfish Lures

With Rockfish season right around the corner,
the fish itch(strong desire to go fishing) is hitting me something bad!!! So I find myself making homemade lures. I was at a swapmeet last weekend and picked up some odds and ends and put these together...
Am I the only guy out there who makes stuff  that I hope will catch rockies and Lings?
Let’s hope they work

Tight Lines!

I would lean towards the box wrench.    Any pics of fish caught on your lure creations ?

Wrenches are my favorite especially when you can get five or six for a dollar at a yard sale

Any old timers recognize the first lure attached to the swim bait? I have some left in my tackle box...from about 1968.
   Here is the hint...a piece of pork rind was attached to the lure, on a spreader with the weight provided by a 4oz bug-eye lure....and I still have some of those also.
   Just finished a 10 hour day, then a 19 mile road ride... followed by a road soda (22oz Race Five). When I sober up I will shoot some pictures and names of the lures, Ron

PS. The 9/16 box/open end with a treble/squid combo should slay em!

Do lingcod prefer a standard wrench or a metric one?

Do lingcod prefer a standard wrench or a metric one?

In American waters they prefer a standard wrench...

wait for a sale at Harbor Freight , you can buy them in bulk   

I dunno, even used as lures, somehow they're still going to find a way to break and send my knuckles into the engine block in my car.

Great ideas.   I am sure they will work.  Love the wrench.
I have been tying flies with doll or wig hair and the ling and rf love them.
Sometimes I have been attaching my flies to any heavy junk for extra fast sink.

There’s a dory boat captain out of Pacific City Oregon that uses a chunk of concrete with a hook on it and nails monster lingcod off the deep reef.

 Here’s a Santa Jig I caught a 28” Ling on to win the virtual holiday tournament couple years ago.
That won me 4 lbs of smoked Salmon! THANKS Raydon 😊

Are you sure concrete catches lingcod and not ROCK-fish?

I think if you could recreate that in the shape of Slim Pickens from Dr. Strangelove, I'd be in for a dozen.
