Weighted swim bait hook help

Featured Replies

  • Super User

I'm currently throwing swimbaits on an owner flashy swimmer but am looking for a plain non under spin option. I'm using the eco pro swing shad 3.8 and strike rage swimmer 3.75 for baits...what hooks do you recommend for these? Before anybody says anything yes I know I should be using the keitech swing impact fats so don't start!!

I'm not a Keitech guy so no worries there! I have some Eagle Claw Lazer Sharp belly weighted swimbait hooks with the spring keeper that I really like. They run pretty true and are sharp so I can't complain.

I don't think so. I have given all my Keitech away. I fish the Rage Swimmer exclusively. 

For the OP, I like Moaner:  http://moanerhooks.com/product-category/stroker-hooks/

A buddy had some keitechs and I was using a Berkley Power Swimmer on a swim jig and I caught 8 bass on the same power swimmer. He got snagged once and tore the Keitech. Nuff said. I also like the rage swimmers too.

What size eagle claw are you using on the 3.75 size!

I like the Berkley Fusion19. They've been reliable and affordable. On that size swimbait I go with a 3/0. I'd imagine some guys would use a 4/0. IMO the 2/0 isn't big enough and the 5/0 is too much. Good Luck!

I'm pretty sure they are 4/0. If i had one rigged up I would take a pic. But ive got the SK Tour Grade underspin hook tied on now

I'll second this. I like the Fusion as well, good hook at a good price.
