Geez Buzz, you really are a top notch plug ho!
I would like to discuss cowboys, too. I have a few, but don't have the confidence in them that I have in other plugs. |

The cowboy is one of my favorite Jetty/current plugs. I like mine designed to swim down a bit, much like the older BM's. They dig well, and hold exceptionally well in a big heave. You might have some issues tossing them (the older ones) from the surf as they tend to run a bit deep, at least the way I like them. The are an excellent plug to use in all but the strongest part of the tide in outflows also as they behave well in current. I can't speak about the CCC as I rarely fish it.
The newer ones swim higher in the water column. While they definitely don't suck, I don't like them as much.
I believe they were designed after a Pikie, at least that's what came from the horses mouth.

The Jr IS a completely different plug. It would be nice if BM made a smaller cowboy, in addition to the Jr. I make one for myself I prefer to the SR. It fishes the same, but seems to do a bit better. Likely by enticing smaller fish (<25lbs) as well as large.

Don't fish them enough but I prefer the older skinnier version. I had one great night with them in a spot with no current and shallow water by ripping them then slow retrieve until I bumped bottom and then pause to let them surface a little. Although, In most cases where I should use one I opt for a conrad.

I've got some original versions, but never found much use for them. I'm pretty sure RoyL is a big fan, though, which tells me I'm missing something.
