Chatterbait. They’be been around for a while, but there are other options that I am confident will work under the same conditions, so I’ve never tied one on.

I try them for a few cast then switch to a spinnerbait . I need to catch a nice fish on one to break  the ice .

Hmmm, someone needs to invent some new rigs so I can try a new one I guess.

Replace the blade of a spinnerbait with a soft swim-bait then give it a funny name .

Have you ever tried Don Iovino's doodling technique?  It's popularity faded before you were born & I thought that it was now pretty limited to the West Coast.

 

How about the recoil rig, a dropshot where the line to the weight is elastic (so the weight stays on the bottom, but the lure bounces up & down)?

 

Lastly, how about the Chicken McNugget rig (remember that guy in Texas last year who caught a 10lb plus using a McNugget)?  To fish this one, you must have orange hair & big floppy shoes.

Read about doodling in Pursuit of Giant Bass I believe before I tried it.

 

Recoil rig was popular for a minute when I worked at Cabelas where I bought mine.

 

I actually used a chicken nugget once,  but for catfish, did not have good results.
