I think the complicated part about making bait/lures like gig heads is there are so many different kinds of lures our there and SE was wanting to bring a sense of realism to fishing which does require different kinds of bait/lures. I can say that I carry a dozen plus lures on one fishing outing. Not opposing the idea just thinking through why there are so many lures/baits and how they interact. Topwater Frog for example is completely different then using Heavy Steel Lure when the line is in the water.
