I have caught some hogs by dropping them 15 feet next to submerged trees and letting them sink them ripping them out. Ive used almost every lure out there over the years and if you specifically want to target larger fish, throw these double 10's and I build a less expensive version of the original. The key is to have the right reel for these lures as they tear up alot of them out there. Abu Toro Revo Winch is the way to go. I know alot of this forum is into fly fishing, but to truly chase the big fish, those lures that put out the biggest thump will produce the largest fish.
