The inspiration for this plug came from the old jointed Bombers and Rebels—these had a joint in the tail and I always felt that this configuration produced a more realistic look in the water. I have never been a fan of plugs with a joint in the middle of the body. I wanted to make this a very versatile large swimmer, the slope in the head helps it get down but also keeps it stable; this gives it the versatility to be trolled behind a boat or cast from the shore. A very slow retrieve keeps it within two feet of the surface or it can be cranked down as deep as six. On the troll this plugs levels out around six feet but can be fished deeper by letting more line out. I really like having the large profile in the bag, sometimes it’s the perfect pitch when the fish are keyed on big baits.
