Well, I'm still catching itty bitty trout on F-18's an I'm sick of it!
Anyone use a magnum for trout?
I'll probably pare down the hooks to something lighter gauge.
Gotta go bigger!!!!

Nope, always learning.

Man, am I ever gonna get some (more) dirty looks down on the Bow...

Yeah, they are used for sharks and tarpon and stuff.
Catching too many small 18-20" class fish on the F-18's.
BIGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still have that 11 inch crank in a rainbow pattern for you. And I can loan you a 9 inch older rapala that has some glorious action. Careful if you go to Church (saves posting on the other thread), if you can kneel try higher up in the chalice.

Are you sure it is 9"?
I dont think you can get any of the older models quite that big unless it is a magnum.

I'll go take a picture of it beside a tape measure and send you the pic in about 10 minutes,, need to go in the chilly garage of messy fishing hell.
i sent it via text to your phone

Enjoy the action of the 18-20 inchers in between the big ones! The big trout will take the mid-size lures.

Thanks gust
Yes, they will take the mid sized lures...
They will also take ridiculous size lures...
what's a mid-size length. i was looking at one of my dad's favorite plugs/jointed/balsa and 8 inches is that large or mid-large?

That's large. I'm looking to go XXL.

So xxl is what, like a 15 inch plug, or a brick girther plug?
