Some big plugs I made this winter.

All about 3.5 to 4 ozs.

How big is that? I make big swimmers as in the pic. Most are 9"s up to 12"s on the jointed plugs. I have found that because of the size, they swim better jointed. I took them out yesterday to swim them, and am happy with the action. That large darter I am especially happy with. I've never seen a plug swim like that one. It doesn't dart like a typical darter, but swim below the surface in a "S" pattern. It really looked awesome!
Now i need the time to carve one or two more!

But your popper looks really nice! I believe in bigger plugs. Not always, but with targeting bigger bass, I believe in them! Nice plug my friend.
