TylerT123 Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 By heavy, I mean heavy in ounces. Like the A-Rig, Swimbaits... I can’t think of many others, any you can think of or can recommend? Quote

bigturtle Posted March 10, 2018 Posted March 10, 2018 You can keep adding lead to a jig or something and make it as heavy as you want to 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 10, 2018 Global Moderator Posted March 10, 2018 There's punch weights over 2oz. A big hunk of plastic can get heavy. I've got some custom poured 16" worms that are probably over an ounce before I add a hook or weight. Big spinnerbaits run 1.5-2oz like the Ledgebuster spinnerbaits. The biggest rattle trap that Bill Lewis made, and maybe still does, was 1.5 ounces. Tons of big swimbaits, some over a pound. A 190 Whopper Plopper is 2 3/4 ounces. Big topwater walkers and pencil baits are mostly in the 1-1.75 ounce range. River2Sea Bubble Walker 128 is a massive popper that weighs 1 1/4oz. Hack Attack jigs are available up to 1 1/4oz. There's lots of big baits out there. 1 Quote

The cost per fish ratio is much cheaper than a bag a Senkos if you look at it that way. I've caught I don't know how many fish on the first one I bought and it's still going strong. 3 Quote
long island basser Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Spro Rat 50 size =2.5 oz. The 40 size which I like and recommend is 1 oz and retails for $25. 1 Quote
guitarkid Posted March 11, 2018 Posted March 11, 2018 Aren't there some swimbaits that are approaching a pound? 1 Quote

I don’t even buy Senkos, I buy Yum Dingers and they work fine. I can probably justify spending at most $20 for a single bait every now and then, the most I’ve spent on one is about $16 but $32 for a lure would make me not want to fish it. The more expensive lures I have, which are topwaters, I usually fish with 20lb line, I’m young as well, need to save some money. 6 minutes ago, guitarkid said: Aren't there some swimbaits that are approaching a pound? Yeah, I’ve seen some that are around 10 oz or so. Quote
