don't know if anyone caught it, but russ lane was boating a giant in the ttbc on tv and his reel was sporting a hawg tech handle. not 100% sure if it was a hawg tech but i believe it was. 

Saw that and I sure it was too

Russ Lane is a HawgTech Pro!  So I would say yes it is a real HawgTech handle.

Yeah, I've been working with Russ Lane for a couple months now.  He really likes the handles...has about 20 of them. 

 

Bruce, I was trying to get him to come down to Holiday Park a couple months ago when we were breaking 30lbs every trip out.  He was trying to work it into his schedule, but it just wouldn't work out.  When me and Leo won the Everglades Bassmaster with 37lbs, he congratulated me.  Then he went out and got 38 at Lake Fork...LOL.

Sweet, Big Daddy is sporting Hawgtech's!!!

Hawg Tech for life!

Very cool.

 

I gotta say I'm a fan of the reel handle I have on my Lexa 300HL. I've only upgraded that one reel but it sees the most action of any reel I own. I just ordered another Lexa so hoping to purchase another in the near future.

37lbs out of Holiday is much more impressive than 38 out of Fork imo.  Both huge bags though.
