Good HookWeight is molded on with smooth edges, so a bait will slide on pretty well. Caught a lot of fish with this hook and Strike King or Berkeley Pro swim bait.

VersatilityLike the way they put the nose of a small swimbait swimming down as if the bait is injured or dying or with the tail up on the bottom, a feeding bait. Good hooks too.

No Gamakatsu hooks anymore.These have always been great hooks for me. I went in today to replenish my stocks (bought all the 2/0 1/16 oz they had out), but when I got home and opened them, I found they are not using Gamakatsu EWG worm hooks any more. They appear to be BPS brand. They have a much shorter throat. The boxes are no longer labeled as containing Gamakatsu hooks while the website still claims they do. The new molds are not as nice as the old ones, as the lead to hook transition is rough and abrupt and there are prominent mold lines and pour spout necks. Another worrisome aspect of poor quality control is that in two of the five boxes I bought (all labeled 2/0 1/16 oz), the size of the lead is visibly larger and weighs out to be consistently 1/10 oz while the other three are consistently 1/16 oz. Though this seems like a quality control problem, I do like the accidentally provided option of a weight between the standard 1/16 and 1/8 oz sizes.

Rage Rig!!These hooks allow your soft plastics to glide horizontally thru the water like a weightless stick worm as opposed to the nose dive you get with a Texas Rig. Pros have been calling it the Rage Rig. I use this with lizards, craws, and creatures...but it will work with any soft plastic. The presentation really gets a lure's appendages flapping about.

The perfect hook for pause'n'jerk fluke fishingI use this hook in 2/0, 1/16oz with 4" and 5" flukes. The flutter is exactly like an injured baitfish: Not quite vertical, but the direction the bait goes after each twitch is very unpredictable. Smallmouth and largemouth both love that presentation. Cast and twitch, then set the hook when you feel like you've snagged. 90% of the time, it's a fish rather than a snag.
My only complaint is that 2/0 is the smallest size. A #1/0 or #1 version of this hook at 1/16oz would make a creek and small river smallmouth fisherman like myself incredibly happy. 2/0 is just too big for 3" and smaller flukes.
This limitation is the only thing keeping me from twitching flukes in downstream boulder runs and riffles until summer is well underway. I'm sure being able to match the forage size with that presentation before April-early June with a #1 hook would be cheat mode for smallmouth fishing. Please, Bass Pro Shops, make this hook in smaller sizes.

Gamakatsu / Bass Pro drop hooksExcellent hook for weedless soft plastic presentations. Hook set is almost automatic with the wide gap design. I fish a lot of grass flats for red fish and speckled trout with z-man, gulp and d.o.a. soft plastics and this set up allows me to control the depth and allow me to fish in the weeds and grass with no problem. Best i've found.

Bass Pro Shops® Vertical Drop Hook ReviewThe vertical drop head hook is a necessary tool for those extra finicky fish who need most ideal presentation before striking. The hooks are well designed and machined. THey come with Gamakatsu EWG hooks.

Well DesignedAfter using these hooks I really like them. They are perfect for smaller swimbaits such as the Zoom swimmin super fluke, Yamamoto swimin senko, and the Big Bite Baits Cane Thumper. I've had great hookup percentage with them and they hold the bait perfectly without altering the action.
does the sizes of the hook go 1 as the biggest or smallest? I would like to use the hooks on smaller baits 7" worms 4-6" salamanders....

Asked by: jjf24
The sizing (going smallest to largest) goes in the pattern
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, 5/0
so 1/0 is the smallest of the /0's (called "aughts")
but 1 is the largest of the single digit numbers.
The single digits are always smaller than the /0 (aught) sizes

How do you rig these hooks on a bait?
How do you rig these hooks and not tear up the bait? What type of bait should I be using?
Asked by: Johnr140
Best Texas rigged in our opinion. You need to select a soft bait that is wide enough to withstand the rigging process. It'll work just fine.
