Looks like a nice bait. It will be interesting to see what happens regarding the tail though since Stanley has a patent pending on the wedgetail design.

As for why there aren't bigger Hudd style baits? There are probably a few factors. The first being the bigger size equals an increase in the weight of the bait and most people would have trouble tossing a 7+ ounce bait all day.

The second is 8 inches is around the perfect size because the big fish eat it as Butch Brown and others have shown, but also because it doesn't intimidate the angler throwing it.

Lastly a bigger bait is probably going to have a bigger price tag. The Huddleston's are $35-40. That's getting pricy for a soft bait. A 10 inch bait is likely to be pushing $50+ which would price it for the most die hard swimbaiters not the best business decision I would think

With all that being said make a 10 inch hudd style bait and I would probably buy one even though I haven't caught anything on my Huddy's......YET!
