I have used a lot of different blade baits and since I lose a lot, I tend to go cheap, even if it means upgrading the hooks.  So I never would have considered paying $10+ for one.  However,  I bought the Daiwa/Jbraid/Evergreen bundle from TW when they were on sale for $29, and it has the 1/2 oz LittleMax in there.  Absolutely love this blade.  Great vibration even on slight lift.  Hooks are small, but kept even big fish pinned tight.  What's particularly nice about the hooks, is that instead of trebbles, they are doubles, with no point facing front.  So snags are way, way down from most.  Not enough data yet, but, if I lose them at maybe a 1:3 ratio compared to others, the premium price may be worth it.

 

BTW, are there good double point hooks out there?  I suppose I can just cut one off trebles, but I'm willing to buy and try some good ones made that way.  Also, BTW, the mini spinnerbait and the crank in the bundle are good, too.

You have found the holy grail of sharp hooks. Evergreen baits rock. They are the only bait I buy that I never consider changing out stock hooks. I haven’t tried their blade bait yet but I will know since you brought it to my attention. Thanks.
