What kinda lures are these. Are they a good lure. What would you put on them. Can you tie stuff to them what would you tie to it. How would you fish them. Do you mold your own. Unscramble this and you might fish with one. MUTUQAN.

Can’t believe I’m first here.
Lead jig heads. Put a plastic body on it good for sunfish/crappies.

Ive got one quantum reel and it would work well catching crappie on a jig and minnow setup.😀

Jig head and yes they work well with plastic grubs or even live minnows for Crappie bass bluegill sauger walleye. The list goes on and on lol. Hell even catfish

I put a shrimp on them where it looks like the body of the Grub head and catch Spot Tail Bass.

Ball head jigs, you can dress them with a grub, crawdad,swimbait, or plastic worm. Some use live shiners. You can also tie on a silicone skirt and make a Bass jig. I've never owned a Quantum rod or reel.

Jigs are great for live bait such as minnows and leeches being bounced off the bottom or floated below a slip bobber. They work well with plastics, too. Since we are allowed more than 1 rod, I will typically put a minnow on a small jig and drop it straight down from the side of the boat and keep it a turn off the bottom as you never know what may swim by. This works great for walleyes and perch.
I do have a Quantum spinning reel and it is very nice...also a LH bait casting reel thanks to you guys confirming my suspicions.

What suspicions OJ, that switching from a spinning rod to a LEFT HANDED casting rods would feel more natural?

Yes Sir. I bought my first one in the off season off EBay, then joined the Stage. You guys confirmed my theory and I love it. Picked up a few more after that.

The first baitcaster I bought about 40yrs ago was a Ryobi. I thought about it and figured LH made sense, and it was only a $30 experiment. Never looked back. When I started getting back into Freshwater about 15yrs ago there was no doubt in MY mind, despite the criticism from others.I have converted a few, who were open minded, and to the rest :What ever floats your boat.

My first bait caster was a Shakespeare President from about 1980 (still have it). I wanted one as all the guys on the fishing shows had one, so I needed one. It was huge. I paired it with a Lightning Rod and caught a bunch of bass and pike on it. I put it away as it was too cumbersome to use and I was at least as productive with my spinning gear. As I have been gearing up with low profile LH reels I noticed how small they were. I thought about the original reel and grabbed it off the shelf. Only last Summer did I notice it is reversible 🤦🏼♂️. I now realize why it was so big. I gave it a good cleaning and lubed it up and I will put it back in the rotation next season. Yes, the handle is now on the left side. Never claimed I was the brightest bulb in the string... 😉

Forgot to mention that you can also attach a stinger (quick strike) hook to a jig. Some have a second eye on the bottom of the ball for this, but this eye can also be used to attach a small blade for additional attraction be it noise or flash.
Many companies are making jigs out of Tungsten now to reduce the size and also to reduce the amount of lead in the water to protect the birds which may consume them indirectly.

How ironic, my first was paired with a lightening rod also, a pistol grip, which I later modified by extending the handle.
