I ordered some stuff from DOA and ordered this Swimming Mullet http://www.doalures.com/product-p/50-348.htm
Its a big 5" bait but when I got it I realized it is probably weighted 3/4 oz or even more. What would you use this bait for? Its a big heavy bait that seems it would be best for big fish deep. Big Stripers? Mahi?

Cobia, tarpon, old drum, maybe cuda

Add flounder

Snook, tarpon, jack crevalles...oops, that's Florida. Here, I have caught all sorts of bottom fish (groupers, sea bass, snappers) when it has been calm enough to get one to the bottom over live bottom in 75-90' of water. They are great to cast at what swims by out there, (amberjack, 'cudas, small mahi) too.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. Mainly a deeper water big fish bait. Not a lot of uses for it inshore in NC unless you get it in front a big drum. Flounder yes but it would be reef flounder not inshore.

They have a good reputation for being easy to return items especially if you trade for merchandise..

I'm not worried about it. whats 3 and half bucks? I was just curious to see what the bait would be be good for.

Put some scent on it and try it Big bait = big fish! you might be surprised, some big striper or trout might nail it!
