I'm thinking about getting a weagle but I have no idea how thick it is? is it a lot bigger than a Jackpot? How about heavier?

IMHO if you are thining of a weagle by comparing it to a jackpot, you may want to see one in action before you buy. The action and the method of working a weagle is apples to oranges compared to a jackpot.

The Weagle is quite a bit biger than a Jackpot. If you are using a high quality rod that you are able to work you're jackpot with you will be able to work a Weagle because In my opinion they are easier to work than the Jackpot. If you are thinking about trying one I would say get it I think wou will be happy with it. If you are concerned about the size I would suggest a Dunwright Top Dancer, a little smaller yet larger then the Jackpot and works great also. I have both and both work very well.Good Luck Doug

One other thing to keep in mind that working this lure is critical in the presentation. Slow with slack line is the key to having success with this particular lure. I think you will find that is pushes a good amount of water, more then a jackpot. Overall I think once you get the hang out it, you will be pleasantly pleased.
