A heavier wire gauge hook which is designed for when youre fishing for larger species and in challenging terrain or with much larger senko/worm baits and shad bodies. Constructed from a high carbon steel, it has a forged bend and an ultra-sharp, chemically sharpened straight needle point. The barb is compact allowing for easier rigging of the soft plastic and for unhooking. The hook shape will keep the lure in a weedless rigged position until the fish takes, where the lure will slide down the bend to reveal the hook point.
