At 3.5 inches long, the Heavy Surfer weighs over one ounce. It is the longest casting plug that ima manufactures, so you better make sure you have enough line on your spool to handle the Heavy Surfer! As much as it looks like a plug, the Heavy Surfer behaves more like a jigging spoon or a block tin squid (used by North Atlantic surf casters) or a candy bar. It can be bottom bounced like the venerable diamond jig or heave and haul it with a lift and drop technique.
