I'm in the process of making a plug that will imitate about a 1 to 1.5# carp (it's about 13-14"). Is this insanity or just about the right size for a monster slaying bait? I'm thinking of using this for both Largemouth and Stripers. I'm also thinking of changing to a bass paint job. Furthermore, I am toying with making it a deep diver or shallow. I've already made up a lip that lookes like a huge DD22 lip (fat coffin shaped) for the deep diver and a shorter straight round lip for the shallow diver. Lastly, No I don't plan on being able to cast it very far. I'm thinking more along the lines of trolling it on my heavy Tuna stick.
Tight lines,
Wade
