Description

Length: 7 inch Weight: 1.6 oz. The NEW Hellfire 180 offers anglers the same productive pencil with a multitude of upgrades. Redesigned internals with X-pattern construction helps strengthen the pencils sidewalls while the 1.5mm through wire provides a solid backbone for handling larger fish. New custom welded eyelet ILS hooks are the necessary touch to finish off an incredibly durable plug. At 1.6 ounces this pencil can be thrown on almost any saltwater set up. The 180’s profile delivers a slashing surface action and a deep knock rattle that provokes violent surface strikes. Need a plug that can battle windy conditions? Look no further, as the Hellfire plugs are notorious for reaching the fish on windy days when most plugs can not. **Retrieve – Slow/Medium/Fast retrieve with quick rod action. This is a sinking pencil and requires a near constant retrieve to remain on the surface.
