No, because I'm in Canada. No dealers that I could find and shipping weights from the US is $$

Would love to try this weight. Can't get them here.

That's really great! I too love to experiment extensively. Its why some of the tackle I favor is not run-of-the-mill stuff. Please let us know how it works..I'm interested.

Have not tried them...yet. My sunglasses have readers built in. So I can still use "normal" hooks...

Sure, why not? Any nail weight will do. I prefer the Decoy screw in for that application.

I know what it is! What do I win? LOL 😆 It's a type of nail weight. You can you as per normal or you can thread an EWG hook through it.

I think they're more under the radar than they should be, given how great most of their baits are. Swammer is great. Xzone Deception Worm is great on a Neko for me. Finesse Slammer great on drop shot. And recently, local guys have been loving Rally Shad for Walleye. I really like their stuff! 309 is a great color here in the Great Lakes.

These are the cornerstone of my grab and go bags. Each is loaded with my preferred technique specific baits and terminal (those themselves in tiny plastic zip pouches). I got back and forth between the mesh style and the PVC clear style. I buy in bulk, no name brand and replace as needed. But I do have a few of the Ryugi bags..visible on front of photo. And the micro zip bags I use for terminal are Megabass.

But nowhere near as well, having used both types (Decoy Silicone Gripper). The Hayabusa is in a class of its own, IMO. I've had baits completely broken in half, no tail, utterly destroyed etc. And yet the body was still held on with the Hayabusa keeper. I agree with the sentiment that they are a more expensive option, however. While we're on keepers, if you are having problems keeping your bait on the head of the jig, bladed jig, etc The Ryugi Inset Keepers are excellent. They clip through the bait onto the jig head. Simple, but genius. Image below. My order of keepers would be: 1) Hayabusa Trailer 2) Rapid Hook All 3) Bait Buttons 4) Other keepers BONUS USE of the earring backers suggested: they make truly excellent Free Rig knot bumpers. So for multi-use, these can be a great, cheap option for someone as Brayberry rightfully points out. It's a bit sad that I know so much about keepers. Can you tell I fish lots of fragile, Japanese baits? LOL 😆

These are not the exact same thing IMO (although they both hold bait). Unless I'm confused? I think the silicone backers are more akin to a traditional keeper like the EXCELLENT Rapid Hook All. https://www.rapidfishingsolutions.com/products/hook-all/ Below is the Hayabusa. And is the best bait keeper I've used yet for Keitech...or anything else.

I use the Nishine DS Hook (attaches witha Snell knot) and the Hayabusa Spin Muscle. 2 less common hooks IMO. Was quite sad when I learned the Spin Muscle was being discontinued. A truly excellent, multi-use hook!

I use them and mention them in every "my bait is ripping/sliding/falling off" thread. Love them.

I've been fishing poop/mushi baits a long while. And these are just an extension of those and I've been fishing these for a good bit, too. And I have to say, I think the Coike Shrimp is the best in the family. It just gets bit more..and with more conviction. No faffing around with any special hooking arrangement, either. Just an EWG. The many appendages are positively buzzing on the drop. Watch a video and see. Can fish it a variety of ways, dropshot, Texas, Weightless, Jika, etc So from the Coike family, this is the one I prefer. I also prefer the Tiemco Hedgehog over a Coike, too. Much more versatile. Great topwater! And it should be since its based on the excellent Wild Mouse topwater. Again, EWG hooks. Extremely flowing arms. Has a pin tail which makes it more traditional. I like the "Baby" size that takes a 1/0.

As a devotee of Japanese baits....I only care about what it looks like underwater! LOL 😆 Its all about the action, baby!

The Missile Baits Magic Worm is also excellent..and is a collaboration with Roboworm. Which means the colors are outstanding.
