Larry, in response to your inquiry about fishing big swimbaits, it’s been a year or two, but I caught a 6+ at Weston on a big swimbait similar to the one in your pic with a single treble hook. Lost it promptly in one of the brishpiles! Caught a 7 lb. bass at Fork several years ago on an AC plug like the one you pictured in your post. I don’t throw them often, but they do seem to catch bigger fish.

Some guys on YouTube are fishing big swimbaits almost exclusively. I know a lot of our PWF lakes have some hawgs in them. I’ve fished a 10” swimming crank bait with some luck but nothing really big. I’m taking a separate box of big lures where I think there may be some bigguns. My photo shows my biggest, a Fred Arbogast AC Plug, bought for $20 about 30 years ago. Caught 3 bass over the slot at Fork with it one day. Not much on the others. The small ruler at bottom is 6”.
Anybody else using big lures? What works and what doesn’t work for you and where are you fishing them? Thanks!
