Yikes! I caught one! Only @12-13 lbs, but the first success I've had with these lipless swimmers........which I now feel more confident using. They cast great and swim great, but waves seem to interfere with their action and that sort of negates their casting advantage over metal lips. Pissa swimmer for slow water in the canal, though

Been stuck in the 20# and under club on wood for what seems a eternity. Drop my only fish that had a chance at getting the boga down to 25# right at my feet. 28# fish was taking by a friend on a pencil of mine. happy hunting.

Haven't been fishing anywhere near enough this year, here's the only decent fish I've managed about 18-20# on one of my spooks.

Here's a couple of plugs that have been good to me...

The yellow pencil fish was 32#. That little donny style swimmer is a plug I'm gaining a lot of confidence in.

I'm trying, but I'd need a magnifying lens to make the pictures look worth taking.

And a bag over your head.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
