Qhaw Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I have thrown swimbaits for a few years now for spotted bass and largemouth with some success on baits mid-colum and higher in the water, modding a hud is pretty easy to make it a super slow sink/floater, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips/ideas on how to mod the hawghunter 9.5 to make it a slow sink/floater, from what I can tell the lead is not hanging out of the harness like a Huddleston. Any ideas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qhaw Posted January 2 Author Report Share Posted January 2 Yeah for the hud I just cut all of the weight out of the belly and use mend it to put it back together, than I put nail weights in the head/belly till it has a horizontal fall or suspends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stkbass Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 If you can find the og baitsmith magnum you can do the same mod. It has a similar foam and weight harness like the hudd. The new version hawghunter has a different harness that appears to have the weights molded inside. You may be able to drill into it. I've never tried it myself tho.

looking for large fish Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Contact Hawghunter on the web site could possibly make a custom bait that floats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
