Description

The 7-Inch Big Richard fits Flush with 12, 16 and 24oz Leadheads. This lure was designed with a very simple purpose: to take a beating. The designers at Madame Lure were tied of throwing swimbaits and having them get tails ripped off and damaged beyond repair after just one fish. So they made the Big Richard. The Big Richard is a basic swimbait that is beefed up with harder plastic and a thick round tail. It is designed primarily to jig but can also be retrieved or trolled with ease. Most of all, it can handle repeated toothy fish and hold up enough to keep fishing so you aren't caught trying to pin on new baits right when the bite is red hot. This is the Rocky Balboa or swimbaits. It's short. It's stout. It can take a beating. it can set records.

Field Notes

Use as a jig swimbait by pairing it with a compatible leadhead (12, 16, or 24 oz per the listing) and working it along the bottom or through cover. It can also be retrieved or trolled for steady action when you want a simpler, durable swimbait that survives repeated strikes.

Pros

  • Very durable construction (harder plastic, thick round tail)
  • Designed to take repeated toothy fish and repeated use
  • Can be jigged, retrieved, or trolled

Cons

  • Requires matching leadhead weight (12/16/24 oz) for jigging
