For those of you who have some experience in paddle tail swimbaits, are you having more success with jigheads or keel-weighted hooks?  What's your preference and why?  Extra points for your favorite model!

Keel weighted hooks work great and pick up alot less weeds.  I like the Damiki hook with the little clip that makes rigging them easy.

I don’t fish them in real thick weeds, but I’ve had great success with owner ballhead jigs in 1/4 and 3/8 oz with a 3.8 or 4.3 size Berkley Power Swimmer. So far this year I’ve caught a ton of nice smallmouth and big pike on them, and hookup % has been fantastic. 

Cover dictates whether I fish a swim bait on an exposed point jig head or Fin-Tech Title Shot head

Trokar if you want the sharpest hook it also very strong. Keitech fats fit great on them as well

I do well on either a 3/0, or 4/0 hook EWG Texas rigged (depending on the bait size) with a 1/8th, or 3/16 slip sinker in front,

Buckeye Lures J-Will Swimbait Heads (also available weedless) does the job for me.
