Big Bait.....BigFish?

I have been wanting to do this for some time now.....to make a jumbo version of my "Prey" swimmer! The 2.3 oz. version has been an incredible fish slayer for me and others I know so I was curious how a larger version might cull out some smaller fish and perhaps appeal more to some large??? So here is an upsized version.....the original below is 6 inches long and weighs 2.3 oz. The "Super-Sized" "Prey" is 8 inches long and weighs in at a hefty 4 oz.!! I will be taking a few of these "Bad Larry's" over to Cutty with me in June to toss off the rocks in my wetsuit and see what transpires! Paint soon!

Good name for them "Bad Larry " I have a couple of wall hangers in similar sizes. I used them in the ditch many years ago. This one sure looks like a winner. How about one, light brown over cream - and a mackeral pattern?

Looks like a winner, Larry!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
