Holy Honker. How much plastic does that bad boy take?
I actually thought about this in the opposite context, meaning I like the fact that it has a super sturdy body.
I can't count the number of 'skees I've taken on big plastic shad, but I will say it is one of my best lures for taking them (especially with high pressure). The problem is these baits tend to have a single fish life simply because the tooth length on these bigger fish are longer than the plastic is thick and they cut completely through them... sure, I can take a lighter and melt them back together (which I have), but the action is always limited after these repairs.
With the proven action of the ripper on a beefed-up body, I think this new king-sized plastic is going to do quite well in the combat zone.
