| These baits have really caught my eye.
My buddy just lent me a buckethead. It is about the same size as my pounders.
How much smaller is the large hardhead?
Which do u guys prefer?
Is there any significant difference in the way and depth they run?
Thanks

Location: Freedom, WI | I will try and answer. The large is about the size of a magnum dawg and is about 12" long. The BucketHead will sink just a little faster than the large, as in if you would add a little weight to the large for the same conditions you would not add any to the BucketHead. Other than that and my shoulder can not take more than an hour with the BucketHead they are close (it comes back easy just launching over 14oz takes its toll, sucks getting old). |

Do u have any bucketheads. Looking for black and a lemonhead.
Very cool bait. Love the wobble on the fall.

Location: Hayward, WI | Here's a side by side comparison. On the left a large Hardhead and Mag Dawg and the right a Buckethead and Pounder.
As Roger said the Buckethead is still a big, heavy bait, but it casts well due to lower air resistance vs weight and it comes back to the boat quite easily compared to a Pounder.
Both Hardhead and Buckethead have a belly roll on the pull and the pause and are adjustable in how they run by using the screw in weight inserts and adjusting the tail up or down.

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Just a comparison on how I run mine. The large hardhead I run with ½-1 oz. of lead all the time. The Buckethead I run with no weight added. I love the large hardhead in the summer, and the buckethead in the fall. Admittingly I don't give the buckethead much time in the summer though. Last fall the fish wanted nothing but the buckethead for me as far as a casting presentation goes. |

| Thanks guys.
I love dawgs and these r similar but just different enough that I know they will be another great choice - especially on pressured fish. They look so versatile. I just ordered 2 bucketheads, 4 hardheads and so e extra tails:)
Last summer I bought some of Ben modica's modivator baits. They looked pretty too and man are they ever great baits. Roger's baits look equally awesome, yet different.

Location: Oconto Falls, WI | Landry watch out as you may just find yourself selling your dawgs. I was a diehard dawg man myself, but haven't thrown them since switching over to the hardheads when Roger first came out with them! |

| Wow. That says a lot cause dawgs r great baits and I have a ton of confidence in them.
Does the buckethead all weighted up fish deeper than the pounder? |

I am sure it would considering you could add as much weight as you wanted to. Don't really know as I didn't throw pounders much before switching over to the hardhead family. |
