JoeyM; Welcome and it's good to disagree...
Just my opinion; legs on... we've been togging for generations, when I grew up we were still selling rod and reel....
I haven't had a season without a tog over 10 in a while...
Big crabs, big hooks, big togs, do other methods catch? of course...
As far as a small mouth, we use baits the size of my fist... tap..tap..BANG..
They can open that maw up pretty wide....

when you see the expression on boats when you toss back 9's and 10's.......

I like cutting my legs in half. The ideal bait for me would be a big crab cut in half, peal the shell and legs cut at the nuckle. That may not be the big tog bait but you will hook up consisantly. Buzz bay is smokin commerial tog.

this is what i am going to try.. hi-lo top hook gets a clam belly and the bottom gets a crab. In my wildest fishgasm dream i get a double hookup.. tog on crab and bass on clam
