I ended up casting a plaster of paris mold to copy the 12" Sluggo and even built on a Calstar blank to sling it from the kayak. I rigged it weightless with an 8/0 Forged hook weightles and weedless with Shanka's 10/0 offset hook.
Overall I didn't see any increase in size of bass for tossing a 12" versus a 10" Slug type home pour. The 12" is 2 7/8oz-3oz, and the 10" is 1 1/4oz and can be tossed easier all night if needed if your covering water. With all those Mini Macks and blue backs last year 10" was a good choice and an even better choice was Northbar Bottlesdarter. They loved that....so didn't I.
If your surfcasting the extra weight may be the selling point with a 12" Slug. I think this year I'll explore the double wide by hogy. Working weightless plastics at the surface is fun though. Should be illegal.
