(so many plugs so little time) It looked so cool on TV I was dying to cast it and see something big explode on it.
Jim,
A modified Buchertail Depthraider is the best plug freshwater plug I've used for stripers. A deep diver by design primarily used for muskie - I grind down the lip and load it with water. Great plug for big water.
8 inches, 2 1/4 oz (3 oz after loading). Taken a few over 40 with them. Might have to mail order as they are not available locally.
