Those giant plugs have a great action and actually cast very well. I really like them for spots where I can let them swim in the current.

The key for me, being a compulsive plug changer, is to have gear that will allow me to fish either big or small on the same walk. Last fall I experimented with a new rod/reel/line setup that allows me to fish plugs from about 1.5 to 5 oz, which is quite a range. The big pikies fit easily in my AS large pouch (I only cary a small 3-hole surf bag).

With this new rig, I can make the walk with both my beloved needlefish and the big pikies. This may be more for me than for the fish, because I change lures every 5-10 casts if I don't get any hits.
