This is very true. A larger Swimmer(6"danny is what I experienced it with) in a school of Peanuts is a Target just looking to get smacked. I Had bass on every single cast a # of times under same conditions at Montauk.In fact it was my best fishing last year. Not sure if the plugs were viewed as competition or just easier to pick out, but the bass were zeroing in on the larger plug immediately. The rubber storm shads that tried to match the peanuts were NOT scoring as well . I later compared notes with some guys who were throwing even LARGER plugs and did very well also.

BTW, Nice plugs Ryan !
