By heavy, I mean heavy in ounces. Like the A-Rig, Swimbaits... I can’t think of many others, any you can think of or can recommend?
There are structure spoons that fit in the 1oz-2oz category
Whopper plopper 130 and up.
Heavy punch rigs
You can keep adding lead to a jig or something and make it as heavy as you want to
His head alone has got to weigh over 5 pounds !
A-Jay
Magnum crankbaits
There's punch weights over 2oz. A big hunk of plastic can get heavy. I've got some custom poured 16" worms that are probably over an ounce before I add a hook or weight. Big spinnerbaits run 1.5-2oz like the Ledgebuster spinnerbaits. The biggest rattle trap that Bill Lewis made, and maybe still does, was 1.5 ounces. Tons of big swimbaits, some over a pound. A 190 Whopper Plopper is 2 3/4 ounces. Big topwater walkers and pencil baits are mostly in the 1-1.75 ounce range. River2Sea Bubble Walker 128 is a massive popper that weighs 1 1/4oz. Hack Attack jigs are available up to 1 1/4oz.
There's lots of big baits out there.

MS slammers are out of my price range and hudds are a little more than I’d like to spend.

A Slammer can catch you hundreds of fish per bait provided you don't do anything silly with it though. The cost per fish ratio is much cheaper than a bag a Senkos if you look at it that way. I've caught I don't know how many fish on the first one I bought and it's still going strong.
Spro Rat 50 size =2.5 oz.
The 40 size which I like and recommend is 1 oz and retails for $25.
Aren't there some swimbaits that are approaching a pound?

I don’t even buy Senkos, I buy Yum Dingers and they work fine. I can probably justify spending at most $20 for a single bait every now and then, the most I’ve spent on one is about $16 but $32 for a lure would make me not want to fish it. The more expensive lures I have, which are topwaters, I usually fish with 20lb line, I’m young as well, need to save some money.

Yeah, I’ve seen some that are around 10 oz or so.
A six inch Jelly worm with a two ounce weight .
Plenty of swimbaits out there over 10oz
I'm trying to find a place in my tackle boxes to fit two more Rapala Super Shad Raps I just picked up. They're 1 5/8 oz. each.
Tight lines,
Bob
Culprit 12” worm.
castaic 9” trout swimbait. I use a inshore heavy spinning rod to throw it.
topnocker 5/8oz
im mainly fishing from shore where heavy baits can be a problem. I use a 1/8oz Carolina rig with a 24” leader.

if you're young i wouldn't really be looking at swimbaits the normally require a new setup to throw them effectively

All purpose wouldn’t work? I’ve been wanting to try some swimbaits.

depends on the rod i definitely wouldn't recommend throwing a 2+ oz swimbait on a rod rated up to 1oz
