Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

I use both the BW and the BBW depending on current,depth,temp, visibility and wither I am casting or backtrolling. I think it depends on how aggressive the fish are also many times I thought go small but they want the bigger one. I don't think that the size matters its the action the smaller has more action so the fish need to be more aggressive opposite of what you would normally think.

The brads website is kind of annoying you have to know the sizes from some other source like their pdf catalog.

the BBW stands for Big Beautiful Woman?  :smt044

Do you ever use the magnums? the 3/4 ounce ones?

oops BWW

I have a couple but have never used them as a lure I do have one I took the hooks off and I use it as a diver like a jet planer. Works great got a Mendo striper using it to take down a fly last year.

I've seen those. some of them come 'pre-rigged' with one giant siwash (to tie into the hook thread...)

They have a bunch in the bargain bin at FH, I got a giant pink one, maybe we'll see if we can troll up a rockfish in santa cruz with it for fun.

If the magnums are as much like a Wiggle Wart as they appear to be they should work great on LMB, John.
