| Where do people get two-pounders? I live in Pa, so I've never been able to walk into a tackle shop or retail store and get anything larger than Pounders. But I never see them listed on any website.
I don't plan on using it, I'd just like it for a novelty. |

Location: Waconia, MN | I guess I should have said Thorne Brothers, I’ve seen them in the shop hanging, but not on their online catalog. I guess one would assume that you’d be able to order them online too. I bet if you emailed them, they could hook you up. Sorry for any confusion there, I may have jumped the gun. |

The mammoth curly sue is a awesome bait that's not just for looking at  |

Not a problem. I'm sure they would be willing to send me one. I'd just like to see a picture of one. I hate purchasing any product blindly, even if it's just going to sit on the shelf. |

It is when you don't own the proper rod/reel/line that will throw it! When I get a chance to fish in MN I'll be using one, but for now it's just part of the collection. |

Thanks, I might take you up on that offer. How much and what condition?

Location: MN | If Tim doesn't have the special one I would shoot Andy from Shack Attack an email. I recently purchased a Mammoth Sue directly from him after forgetting to grab one at the MN show. He emailed me pics. Great to work with. |

Location: MN | Lol Bushy, I wish I knew how to post pics I'd post my collection of giant rubber. It really is amazing how small of a fish will eat a mammoth sue or 2lber. Last fall on mile lacs I stuck a 40" and a 44" 20min apart on a cisco 2lber both in the 8. But the fall before I had a week stretch with 9 fish over 45" with the biggest 3 from 49-49.75" all on a walleye mammoth sue. |

Location: Hayward, WI | I'm not sure if I would be up to it or not, but I KNOW my current equipment is not. For the guys that use the Mammoth Sues or 2 Pounders, do you feel that you DO catch fish you would not have caught on a Pounder?
I guess the answer would be yes, because why would you put yourself through that abuse otherwise! My past and current thought is the Pounder is "big enough" that a fish wouldn't ever turn it down for being too small. Wondering what your thoughts on that are. Definately a test of angler and equipment!

Tucker
I only throw them in the fall and olny on lakes where muskies feed on LARGE forage. Yes I feel I'm getting bit using mammoths/2lbers over pounders there were other guys fishing the same structure using pounders and not getting bit as often as I was. I tried throwing them last summer but I'm thinking the fish hadent started to key in on the larger forage yet. And I'm clearly nuts I mean for god sake the friking bait weighs 24-29oz who in there rite mind says I think I'll cast that for 5-7 days straight. |

Location: Marinette | What happens when they come out with 3 pounders!?!?!
I have some lead in time before I feel I am in "musky shape" and throwing for a while.....not sure about these big baits and body wear....would need to upgrade tackle too....
What is the overall return on investment vs. enjoying the fishing part?? |

I'm not really sure what your asking. I love catching big skies no matter what huge baits little baits it dosent matter. Sometimes they want a BIG meal and that's when I come into play. Just to clarify big isn't a DCG or
10" Jake think huge! Monster madusa 14" Jake 2lber or a super model burned till it hurts. I just Love catching them. |
