Do you have to transfer registration of that thing too??? Only if it transits into International Waters.

Only if it has a motor on it. LOL!


If the bail flips during a hard cast with that plug...it will see international waters.

If you're going to use that as a template, one thing ya might consider is eliminating the second belly hook and moving the remaining one to just about amidships.;)

I have a custom edition Hawg about the same size in mackerel scheme. One big-arsed 5/0 VMC 4x treble on a HD 6-1/2 ring.

4.8 oz with a 5/0 VMC treble :) and it floats with the red out of the water :happy:

got 11 more to go and I'm set for this year

I concur with MikeP...I think 3 trebles are overkill and detract from the look. I like the more balanced plug like slips pic.
