Nice Cuttyhunk. I have made 100's of those and learned a 5/0 siwash is too small. A good fish bends the 5/0 and splits the small diameter rear of the plug. A tester in Maine caught a nice 30+ pounder and came in with just the wire and the fish. Everything I have made in the past couple years has 6/0 hooks.

just sayin. Good luck with it. When tail weighted they cast like missles.
