I recently bought some hollow bodied 5" swimbaits (Reaction Strike.) I figured since theyre hollow bodied to just rig them kinda like a frog with a corkscrew widegap hook no? That doesnt work, they just twist up and the tail barely works. I then rigged it weedless with a widegap worm hook, still does the same thing.

Am I missing something? Any special hooks or ways to tie them that I need to know?

Thanks everyone!

You needs to use a 6/0 - 8/0 wide gap weighted hook. The weight helps keep the center of gravity for the bait.
