  • That would be fun ! the only downside I'm seeing is your going to look like a meal( lure) to shall we say any apex predator.without a doubt. Some sharks hit from below some trail and hit from behind , you start doing so called tricks that are gonna look like erratic movement or a wounded fish you become a possible food source. Non the less we will see
