KD tournament in WI I believe the top 10 were all 30lb and up. In MI a one day tournament this weekend, biggest king was 34lb I believe. They are also have the quantity like lake O this year. Not too long ago kings were small and limited in number. Might be worth looking at their approach as of late
I think you catch bigger fish on plugs year around from my experience. I think it depends on quantity vs quality but I have a plug out most of them time year round. I took a couple decades off salmon to pursue Muskie and having come back to salmon I am still finding they like big baits.
Our largest king, 42lbs came on a larger plug behind a dipsey, but has been awhile. We also took our largest Lake Michigan kings on j plugs behind dodgers, sometimes being a bit different gets you difficult fish.
Heck they use spin n glow for kings in Alaska.
It basically the best of the other two products in one that appears to be simple to use. From two established companies, I am really looking forward to learning more.
