I have been throwing pounders for a couple of years now and have little success on them mostly none. Have a lot more success on mag size lures that are around 8 oz instead of the 16 oz lures. So I ask are they worth throwing if they don't produce for me even in the fall.

They are a tool in the toolbox. It also likely depends on where you fish, but I've definitely seen scenarios where upsizing the lure has paid dividends. That being said... I don't throw pounders year-round I generally wait until the need/situation calls for it.

there's a time and a place for every bait, the hard thing is knowing when to use each bait and if it was the bait or just good timing.

i don't get it if it don't produce where you fish at,why do you still wonder if it worth it?you answer your own question,keep using magnum and sell or trade pounders,it work at many place guys will jump on that

They work pretty good for me but I use them to get deep when the situation calls for it. I couldn't imagine my life without one actually; )

To me it just seems as though they respond to mags better. Plus the average size of the fish in most lake I fish are around 40ish only the bay is where pigs near me are produced.

perhaps the pounders are going to deep for the fish you are fishing. I know I pick up a pounder to get down deeper than a mag.

There you have it. I would throw what you catch fish on.

You could always go for the mag dawg with the pounder tail. Less weight, big profile.

Pounders catch big fish but using them comes at a price by putting more wear & tear on your gear & more importantly, more wear & tear on your body. My pounders are collecting dust due to my bad shoulder, which was inured from casting big musky lures.

Time and place but I bet 90%+ of my customers catch the majority of musky and pike on a good old Regular sized 4oz-5oz SuperD. Similar size as a Mini Medussa size. now on the other hand....chiropractors LOVE pounders!!!

I would only throw them in the lakes that have bigger sized fish. If your using them on the lakes with smaller sized Musky's is probably why you haven't had success on them. They are definitely more of a big fish bait and a 50 plus makes a.pounder look like a regular dawg. Stick with the mag until you fish big fish waters.
