Choose a different plug. The cowboy is one of the fattest plugs out there. Any skin big enough to fit it would be very rare and way too long.

The Bob Pond's blue and white styrofoam Atom JR makes a great skin plug (a lot better than the BM Jr in my experience) and are easy to find (get the old version). His plastic A40 also makes an excellent skin plug for larger skins. If you want to go deep, find a Capt'n Andy big momma slope head.

I have fished a lot of skin plugs over the years, but in recent years I've found a big skin needle to be more useful than a skin swimmer, probably because I can cast it better and it is much easier to find skins.
