VMC 5/0 belly hook and VMC 5/0 dressed siwash in the rear. I left off the second belly hook, one less sharp vmc to get impaled on.
They are 7" long and weigh 4.25oz.
They swim on the top with a slow retrieve and create a huge v wake, with a faster retrieve they swim down about 5 feet.
The white with pink stripe has been killer this season.

Those are some really nice looking plugs. Nice job.
