Pro Wide Gap Swimbait Hook
Description:
Swimbait fishing is a hot new bass fishing technique that uses large, strong hooks rigged in a swimbait body. The Pro Wide Gap Swimbait Hooks meet the needs of this technique with a premium Mustad Ultra Point black nickel extra wide gap hook with a new center-pin style stainless steel baitkeeper spring installed and a small lead weight molded onto the hook shank. The new stainless steel springs are stronger than the copper HitchHikers and the center pin makes it much easier to get the spring started straight in a plastic bait. The large hook ensures a good hookset even with bulky 7 ½" swimbaits and is strong and sharp enough to handle extra heavy bass. The spring is inserted into the nose of the plastic swimbait, holding it more securely than a normal worm hook. The point of the hook is inserted into the bait like a normal Texas rig. The Pro Wide Gap Swimbait Hooks allow the swimbait to be fished more effectively below the surface. Pliers can be used to move the weight up and down the hook shank to change the balance point of the hook/bait. Another pro angler tip is to bend the hook point out just a little bit to increase hook-ups.
