Cow Killer?
 
How many think this can land a cow? Me, I very much doubt it.

maybe if you get rid of the copper wire. Salt will eat that up fast.

After re-wire take it to the canal on a breaking tide.

MAC, even if I changed the wire it wouldn't work - here's why ...

Tony Stetzko caught his 73 lb record bass on a fly teaser he tied in front of a live eel, so you may think that plug won't catch large because it is small, well that is not always the case. sometimes bass key in on small baits.you never know.

Exactly... In 1987, I took a 58 lb bass off of the beach in trurro on a 4" porkrind dropper on a 1/0 hook in front of a gibbs darter....The surf was full of small fish to medium fish that night, my small plugs wern't reaching the fish, the darter was the most streamline plug I had, I figured the dropper would get the fish, the darter would deliver the goods...

Sometimes they only want a snack.....But loose the copper wire... if you want to go soft.... go brass.

improper copper--color is good.

Guys please ... this was only an attempt at seeing how small I could make a body for a plug on my lathe and still get maybe decent paint on it. I would never fish this thing, I wired it with the copper wire from the middle of a piece of coaxle cable wire.

I do use brass though on most of my plugs unless I get a person who wants stainless, I like it better than stainless and it's more user friendly ... the fish haven't complained as of yet anyways.
