Sorry about the anon bit...

I'm trolling for opinions here... When do you think a big topwater lure too big? For you and the fish...

Length? Weight? Diameter?


For example is a 12", 16oz., 2.25"dia. bait too big? For some, obviously too big to cast, others will think otherwise.

How about slow trolling or row-trolling a lure of this size?


Thanks, in advance, for the input.

I am pretty sure you can't build a bait too big if one can still cast the thing. My feeling is that it isn't the size of the lure that produces, it's how well the bait runs. Does a topwater have to be large to catch large fish? No.
