extensive wooly bugger testing (pic heavy)

[drowning_flys]

So last year i fished some large rapalas (f18) due to being told big rapalas catch big fish. In my testing i found that to be true as the small fish cant get there mouths around the hooks. It keeps your lure in the water longer and somewhat off limits to the small fish.
could that also be true for a wooly bugger ? lets find out here is a couple industrial size buggers []

The small buggers in the pic are a size 4 on a 4xl shank the small rapala is a f9 the large rapala is a f18 and the large buggers are a 6/0 tied on the best color combos i have came up with so far.
