There has been a good amount of talk lately about the new double dawg from MI so I thought I would post this to show everyone what it looks like. There have been pictures posted on other sites so thought I would bring it to MMA.

I'd rather they made the Twin Fins still… much sturdier plastic, and they catch fish, too. Every bulldawg I've had has fallen apart (harness pulling through the head, rear hook anchor pulling out, etc) after just a few hours of throwing, even without being torn up by a fish.
Believe me, dawgs catch their fair share of fish :). Also, there was a bad batch of MI dawgs a year or two ago which had really soft plastic on them and baits did fall apart very easily. However, the people at Musky Innovations heard all the complaints and definitely made up for it with the new dawgs and pro dawgs. The newer dawgs have VERY good plastic that will hold up to multiple fish and one won't have to worry about the bait falling apart just from casting. My brother has a Mag Prodawg that has a handful of fish on it and we can barely see any cuts in the bait. Then again if you don't like throwing dawgs it only means there will be more for me to get at the banquet 🙂

This bait isn't similar at all to a twin fin, the action is completely different. A Medussa on the other hand has an action closer to a twin fin than a bulldawg.
As Jason pointed out, an effort to give the tails more action but allow them to be thicker than the old hand poured models a softer plastisol was used for a year about 4-5 years ago. The bulldawgs that started being made about two years ago are the best bulldawgs ever made with regard to action and durability.

Maybe they're OK now, and sure, they catch fish, but I've got over $100 worth of crap BDs, and I sure don't feel like spending any more of my $$ on bulldawgs and rewarding MI for selling me flawed products.
I'm not saying it was right, just that they have corrected any manufacturing problems and the product they're putting out now is the best on the market.
Sell what you don't like and get new ones.

They need a pounder size.
I was thinking the same thing, but it would be substantially heavier than the other Pounders. It looks like just the extra tail for a mag weighs 2 oz more. If it was another tail on a Pounder, it could be 3-4 oz. That would make it what, 18oz? Balls… I've got tendonitis in my right arm as it is. My body would never forgive me.
I made a couple double tailed dawgs and tyrants last year and liked them quite a bit. Definitely more hang, and not the chore to rip that the medussa is…that kind of elbow work was no good for the golf game. Added a lot of weight (3 oz) to one and it caught some dandies. But nothing like the 15 fish over 44" that a lighter version got (most by Corey). It took some repairing, but that bait is still going strong…
