Thanks all! The big guys are about 3.5oz and run around 7" long. Not the kind of thing you'll need everyday, but definately worth throwing when there is some big bait around.

Another beautiful work of art. With the bar set so high by you guys it will be years till I got the guts to show my wooden plugs. Then again it could be years till I finish one. Beautiful. Paul

U'd be surprised how well a big bait works when.peanuts are around.something i do all the time.outsizing the bait.i believe it is easier for a bass to locate a large bait amongst a school of peanuts than one that is more alike in size to the other millions of little baitfish out there.

Everybody always seems to pick on the fat kid.

Nice plugs Ryan

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.

This is very true. A larger Swimmer(6"danny is what I experienced it with) in a school of Peanuts is a Target just looking to get smacked. I Had bass on every single cast a # of times under same conditions at Montauk.In fact it was my best fishing last year. Not sure if the plugs were viewed as competition or just easier to pick out, but the bass were zeroing in on the larger plug immediately. The rubber storm shads that tried to match the peanuts were NOT scoring as well . I later compared notes with some guys who were throwing even LARGER plugs and did very well also.

BTW, Nice plugs Ryan !

Great work as usual Ryan - I like big baits to imitate the pogies.

Ride the spiral to the end...............

I should be 7'6"! Ryan your plugs are always an inspiration, love 'em!!
