The ones pictured are large (oh, and unfinished... you'll want to put a couple coats of flexament or epoxy on the heads past the eyes, to give them some rigidity, and create a pocket that will produce a good bubble trail)

These guys would probably be best suited for trolling. Unless you like flailing away trying to chuck heavy 6" flies in rolling swell 40 miles out, at God's amusement...

Scale them down a bit (4" or so) and try a 3/0-4/0 hook if you want to cast them.

Going to try to experiement this year with conventional rods as well, dragging a spread of these off of a section of leader to a 2 or 3 oz trolling beadchain sinker.
