I ordered a Dobyns 908 and Abu Big shooter HS for my big stuff. My first cast w/ the Godzilla worked from deep to shallow up a funnel point resulted in a 8+ staring it down at the boat. She nipped it and bolted. 7 hours later, several changes in weather conditions later I dumped a 5 at the boat as I fumbled the net. Fish were on top of a creek channel w/ pan fish. Got one in the net off a fallen tree in 10' of water. I absolutly love that bait though. Glides like a champ, deadly slow roll and everything in-between.
