Ya mean like this 7 lb catfish?
...or this 14" bass?
or one that's a bit larger?
..... and larger still.
How about these nice bass caught on the same day using different shapes:
...caught along with these 2 and 3 lb pickerel - also on different shapes/ actions:
Of course 12-14" crappie are noth'n to sneeze about after bending a light action rod in two:
14" Works for me and especially on days when many other lures don't cut it!
