Arbogast sold them years ago. I've got a monstrous one down cellar somewhere. Neat to see what you've done with them. Do you pour your own tails?

good way to use the ones that fall apart when the weight breaks thru after repeated hookings of the bottom in the canal.

arbogast is the shiny blue one, and yeah ive seen some that are like 2 feet long haha... i just use fish trap swimbaits. im experimenting with slugo style tails at the moment. these type of plugs dont work to well in the ocean around me but the lake fish love them. i traded one with saltydog and he said his son caught a RBT on one. still waiting on the pic from him.
