The old “big fly, big fish” adage has been part and parcel of fly fishing lore for eons, now the same can be practiced with lure and plug fishermen.

For those rare opportunities when a foot long slab of broom handle festooned with yards of treble hooks just doesn’t cut it – GreatBigStuff.com has a partial solution…

Partial as I’m not quite sure what can throw it effectively, but 5 feet of wiggling fish death is likely to bring an appreciative whistle when you roar up to dockside.

I’d hang it off the arse-end of a boat tethered with water-ski hawser, at $447 each – pray you don’t snag it on a tree trunk.

The 20-inch spoon is no slouch, offering the angler a lethal change-up – or a spare anchor, depending on your mood..

To be on the careful side I’d toss in a couple extra jerry-cans of fuel – that’s a lot of drag to overcome.
