Giant Surfster

Picked this up a while back, i love surfsters and throwing big plugs so it made sense at the time.

its 8.5" long, 2.5" around, weighs 5oz with no hooks.

I have swam it, swims on top tail out with a slow retreive and will dive down 6 to 8" on a faster retreive.

also has 6 coats of epoxy, foil finish, "mac" stripes, glass eyes.

It was made by some big time muskie guide or something, thats what I was told anyway, who knows.

Its a pretty crazy looking plug in person.

Thought Id share it.

Cool looking plug. Who made it?

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Eddy you're getting drool on your puter.
