Hook Weight For Swimbaits

Featured Replies

I use the Shadalicious and similar 4-5" swimbaits.  How much weight (the type molded onto the shaft of the hook) do I need to keep the bait properly keeled?  I am looking at some Falcon Bait-Jerk Superline 6/0 hooks that come in 1/32, 1/16, 3/32, and 1/4 ounce packs of four.  

Thanks!

I like the DOA weights that you can crimp on the hook.  I was throwing the 6.5" Shadalicious w/ a Mustad 8/0 and 1/4 oz DOA weight on the shaft.

I just ordered these new hook weights from BPS to try out.  I ordered the 1/8oz so I can use one or add a second one to get to 1/4oz
