Partner your favorite swimbait with a Gamakatsu Swimbait Hook and enjoy a lifelike swimming action that requires you to ready the net. The weighted, wide-gap design the Gamakatsu Swimbait Hooks feature allows swimbaits to fall evenly and dig deep. The metal spring is inline with the super sharp point and works like a swimbait seatbelt—securing swimbaits in place even after a head-on-collision with Mr. Bass.

These hooks make rigging and fishing swim baits much easier than the kink shank hooks. With these hooks you don't have to pull the weight through the swim bait, and at the price of swim baits this is a plus.

Sorry to say that unless you used super line the hook is to heavy for small baits, suggest another.Answers
A:Â
5/0 any weight what I use
Top 250 Contributor
A:Â
Use the 5/0 hook in either 3/16 or 1/4 ounce size.
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
The 5/0 will work good here. The 6/0 will work as well but will hang down below the belly more, which will actually act like a keel.The 5/0 will also act like a keel but will be a little better in the weeds because it hangs tighter to the bait. Get one each. experiment. different size and weight will affect the action. Wobble and rate of fall will give you options depending on the mood of the fish.

The hooks are weighted.A:Â
No, the weight is built into the hook.
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
You can use tehm with or without weights.A:Â
No, the manufacturer has balanced the weight by its placement. Adding weight would hinder your baits action.
Top 50 Contributor
A:Â
You shouldn't need any weights with these, since their is already a weight included on the shaft of the hook. These are meant for rigging swimbaits so that you don't need a weight on your line, because the weight is already on the hook.1 of 1
