Bob Pond made a small run of loaded Atom Jrs. that weighed in at 2 3/4 ounces .. The thing sank like a stone and hardly swam if at all .. I tied it on and was plugging and a good fish took it and I used the waves to beach a 51# bass . This gets even better.. 1 yr. later 2 miles further down the beach ,,I went out to the back pond to fetch my eels out of my eel cart .. The gate was open and my eels were gone . Either someone stole them or somebody let them go . All I could do was plug fish ,my second choice at the time . I noticed my old friend the loaded Atom Jr the previous source of my 51pounder . I snipped off my eel hook and tied it on . I had been casting and retrieving 15 minutes when I hooked up and landed another 51 pounder. I had only used the plug twice and pulled in 2 51 pounders .. I never fished that sinking Atom Jr. again ..
