Thumbs up

I'd go with longer swivels on those belly hooks , looks like they're barely sticking through, paint looks sweet. johnny

I like having the barrell of the swivel at least half way through the belly hole , gives it plenty of swing and movement .... johnny

I prefer the swivel be tucked up inside....I use split rings and the hooks get more than enough room to move from them...the swivel is for swiveling. All my plugs are like this and I have no trouble...to each his own I guess. The old plugs that use hook hangers work the same way and don't hang down that much.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
