ok bois...this is approaching the level of a professional. i mean even the hook hangers are clean as a whistle. how in the world did you do that?

Very slowly grin.... I used an Xacto knife and whittled the clear coat out of the hook hangers. Makes it a little easier to get split rings on. Been experimenting with a "Barfish" pattern lately. So far so good.
