This plug is named the DP4 which means "Deep Plug size 4". Last year I released some other versions of my deep diving line up which included 3 sizes. This year I am releasing the largest and fourth version of my deep diver. The plug was built to expand on the abilities of a big bodied wooden plug. I wanted a plug that would fit the profile, get down a bit to the larger stripers, and also swim similar to smaller sized plugs. The end result is just that. The plug will swim nicely at a slow retrieve but if sped up the wiggle actually gets tighter just like a fleeing baitfish. The guys I fish with, myself included, use low profile high speed bait-casting reels that sit upon Musky class or Swim-bait rods from boats. We incorporate stop and go fast to moderate speed retrieves that have produced results better than we had hoped. The number of large stripers caught while testing were fantastic. We do not troll but while fishing one day my buddy dropped on behind the boat with about 12ft of line out and we watched how it held with the boat running. We asked our buddy who was running the boat how fast we were going and he shouted back 11.5 knots. We just looked each other with big eyes! lol
