big plugs !
A fellow came in to the tackle shop while I was there and he was from Wisconsin or some place out west and had several really large custom plugs I think used for muskie or pike. He was out this way to fish derby and was going to try them for bass. They were really nice.

That's a big plug!
It's a copy of a "Believer" Muskie plug. The action is amazing. They make a straight version too.
It's a killer plug for the ditch, te 10" version has two line ties, a deep and shallow.

I cut the head on a popper upside down once and it looked like that. I wired it and tried swimming it and it had a real nice jerking side to side action like a twitch bait. I wonder what the obround tail does on it's side. It would throw a big profile to anything underneath but probably retain alot of side to side action with that cut.
This gives me ideas... I now have the capability of doing 3d shapes...I could easily cut some of these and try it.

Right you are. Poor casting but very stable and versatile plug. We used to troll them for bass and blues behind Nantucket. They work very well. I never thought of trying them in the ditch, but I like the idea. |

Great looking plug. A step up from this "redneck" muskie plug.  |

Jim you should have offered him a trade. He was more than happy to swap a couple for some of mine. Those Darters of yours he would have loved. Ron
