These 20 lures are some of the weirdest I have ever seen, but they work! Comment down below the weirdest lure you have ever caught a fish with.
Yoshihiko Ando Bass Lure
Artsy lures aren’t always great at catching fish, but Japanese designer Yoshihiko Ando’s creations are the exception. This blue gator may look like a bad dream, but the bass can’t resist it.
Rat-X
Japanese anglers are always looking for new and weird-looking fishing lures to attract bass. Megabass designed the Rat-X for bass fisherman who have the confidence to drop $40 on a fishing lure.
Pudgy Frog
One angler posted this creepy little creature to Bass Resource’s bass fishing forum. The frog’s large front flippers help create friction in the water.
Creature Baits
What exactly is it? Whether the creature bait looks like a snake, an insect or something out of the Matrix, the variety is a favorite among bass anglers… and for good reason.
Musky Duckling
It may look like a bathtub toy for a toddler, but the Gopher Bait Company created this fishing lure to attract muskies, which are known to suck baby ducks under the water.
Yoshihiko Ando Lures
It’s unclear what type of fish these bizarre-looking faces are designed to attract, but the Japanese display great confidence in Yoshihiko Ando’s weird-looking fishing lures.
Montana Fly Company’s Clipped-head Hopper Fly
These odd little suckers come in handy if a trout fisherman happens to find a fly fishing spot where a lot of grasshoppers are hatching. According to Bass Pro’s blog, the key to fly fishing trout is to match the hatch.

Some of the all-time weirdest fishing lures are the DIY variety. One Aussie angler posted his own creations to Sports Fish Tasmania’s Tackle Talk forum, bragging on their usefulness in catching tuna.

These brightly-colored trolling lures may be a far cry from what you use to catch crappie, bass and even trout, but they look like a tasty snack to mahi-mahi.

A self-proclaimed “bass junkie” blogger added this field mouse lure to his “bass fishing Christmas list.” Winner of the 2011 ICAST Best in Show for soft lures, this weird-looking fishing lure from Live Target is great for twitching along the top of moss, grass and pads.
Spoon Lure
This DIY spoon lure is created from none other than a spoon… the kind you eat with.
