Metal Lip Swimmers - Poll

[Terence]

More Dropped than taken IMO. Thats a tough plug to land a big fish on.

Never done well with metal lips in actual surf.Quiet back waters with lots of eelgrass is a different story!

I would have to say it's a very low number.Bait probably fools more big fish than all lures combined..Not to say they won't fool em.I know of a few this spring OVER 40.
I have a few 30's this yr on metal lips.Although I did not use em that much..I just don't like to deal with the trebles..

I have to agree. They're incredibly deadly in the right hands and right spots, but I really struggle to reliably land some of the cows I hook.

It's the plug of broken dreams for me. But it doesn't stop me from fishing them.

Thats a tough plug to land a big fish on.[/QUOTE and that was the case last night popped off a very nice fish after a good battle.never did land any thing over mid twenty on a metal lip myself,but then again I almost allways fish eels so that doesn't say much.To put a number on it would be hard but would say it would be very low.I"ll still fish them cuase they are one of the coolest plugs to catch on.
