Name this hook

Featured Replies

Relatively known trick is to twist the shank so that the point is misaligned with the shank. Any wide gap hook would suffice.

i was going to correct myself and say it was a mustad ultra lock ewg but the angle by the eyelit is not as bent. i am definitely going to say it is a gamakatsu ewg worm hook not the superline obviously since you have that already. just brink the hook to cabela's or bass pro or something and start comparing packages :D

I've edited the photograph with a line to show how much the point is above the eye on this hook compared to the Gamakatsu EWG 5/0.  I'm fairly certain this isn't a Gamakatsu EWG.  If they made an Extra Extra Wide Gap, we might be on to something.

This description and picture from the Owner website makes me think it is the Owner Wide Gap Plus actually...:

"Wide Gap Plus, with its deep throat and dramatically elevated point, offers an extraordinary wide gap for extra hooking power. The plus point rides above the eye, providing a more positive and effective hook set. Ideal for weedless style Carolina Rig'N and Texas Rig'N of big tube baits and extra beefy soft plastic. Features include a XXX-strong forged shank, a bait-holding Z-Lock shoulder bend, Cutting Point®, and black chrome finish."

Thanks guys!

Not a Gammie as all of their EWG hoos have the point inline with the eye.

Youvella makes hooks just as you describe.

Bending could weaken hook.
