BOAT fish do count.

A Muskie lure maker sometimes sell their plugs at the salt water fishing shows. I think they were called Ratke.

Yea only thing you gotta watch out for is the strength of the lure and its materials... esp the hooks. Most freshie hooks are bronze which will last you 1 trip in the salt.

Lookin for my big'un!

Many of those who fish the Muskie Lures have been asking the saltwater manufacturers to make larger plugs for freshwater...

I can tell you they WORK! I have used and continue to use them. One is in my bag now. I like the SALMO lures in particular the FATSO and well as a few others. You will have to change out the split rings and hooks to something heavy duty. I have gotten a few 30's on them. You can mail order them from the midwest.

I'm curious as to how the supersize versions of inline spinners like Bluefox or Mepps would work.Anyone ever try?

Those Bluefox Super Vibrax spinners worked great on just about anything that swam in the pond.
