bigtimfish Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 What is the recommended hook style for baits like the zoom swimming fluke, reaction innovations skinny dipper, and keitech swing impact? Do they swim correctly if I just use a EWG hook or does it have to be a swimbait hook? Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted August 18, 2010 Super User Posted August 18, 2010 You can rig any of those up on a standard EWG. I like using a 4/0-5/0 Superline EWG when I'm rigging weightless. Otherwise a good quality swimbait type hook will work just fine. It all depends on what you want to do with it. Remember, there are no set rules on how to fish a lure. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted August 19, 2010 Super User Posted August 19, 2010 for rigging thick plastics , i would suggest you try the Owner beast hooks , they have a weighted version and a non-weighted version . these hooks are very stout and stay very sharp . give them a try !! Quote
backwater4 Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I've been fishing those style baits on a 60* ewg jig hook with a screw lock added. 1/0 and 2/0 sizes I find work best. The screwlocks really hold the baits on a long time without the heads tearing out. Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted August 20, 2010 Super User Posted August 20, 2010 I fish the Keitech Fat Swing Impact on a 1/2 oz GMAN jig, 5/0. 8-) Quote

I only use the weighted version for the baits your recommended. Quote
