I lost all the hardware that goes with it so I wasn't too concerned about it. I am gonna use double split rings on the belly hook. I read what you had in the kit page, but I couldn't stop my self. Lookin for symmetry...little here oh no take some from there now this aint right etc. ....and this is how the seed was born. If it swims and just doesn't blow out some smallie will hit it. If it blows out and dont swim I start a wall o' shame. no worries
