Product description
This weighted twistlock hook combines a triangle-shaped jig head with a wide-gap hook and a corkscrew keeper, giving you a fast way to rig soft plastic swimbaits and creature baits weedless. The molded head stands the bait up off the bottom and helps it track true on the retrieve, while the twistlock spring keeps your soft plastic pinned in place cast after cast without tearing the nose.
It is built for anglers who want the hook-setting power of an exposed point with the fall rate control of a jig head. Use it to swim paddle tails through grass edges, hop creature baits along rock and gravel, or slow-roll a soft plastic through stained water. The triangle head also resists rolling on retrieve, keeping the bait running upright through cover where largemouth and smallmouth hold.
How to fish it
- Thread the nose of your soft plastic onto the twistlock coil and screw it in until snug against the head.
- Push the hook point through the body and skin-hook it back into the plastic for a weedless presentation.
- Cast to grass lines, rock piles, or drop-offs and use a steady swim retrieve or slow hop depending on the bait.
- Match head weight to depth and current, going lighter for shallow grass and heavier for deeper structure or wind.
Frequently asked
The 5g works well as an all-around size for most soft plastic swimbaits and creature baits in 3 to 5 inch lengths. Go lighter at 3.5g for shallow cover and heavier at 6.5g when fishing deeper water or need a faster fall.
Yes. The triangle profile helps the bait stay upright and track straight instead of rolling, which keeps the hook point riding correctly through cover.
A medium to medium-heavy casting or spinning rod with 12 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or 30 to 50 lb braid gives you enough backbone to drive the point home on the hookset.
When rigged with the point skin-hooked back into the plastic, it fishes weedless through grass and light brush, though it is not designed for the thickest matted cover.
