GS Slammmer?

maybe a handcarved wooden plug?

Why not a goo goo eyes or a Gibbs GTS

Beachmaster Cowboy?

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Tried trolling one of my big jointed surfsters last week Mike....and it swam awesome just the way you want....but the hook swing caused by the additional speed began wearing on the plug at a rapid rate......it swam awesome though!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

How about a big 9" storm ? Their heavy, will get down quick, and are herring shaped...

The 9" storms are money. Great action, but you need the ones with the deisel hook in them!

Definitely not with a surfster lip,thats strictly topwater.
Goo Goo eye,would be the correct plug, in maple .With the right belly weight you can make one that will be almost perfectly neutral or slightly negative in buoyancy.

Bassmaster makes a short fat pike that might fit the bill. I have trolled these and they are effective. I have not 3-wayed a plug though. As always, your mileage may vary.
