What Hooks For Rage Rig

[OroBass]

I'd like to start fishing the rage tail products. What weighted hooks do you guys recommend to start. Specific brand size and weight please.

You don't have to fish the rage rig with rage tail products. I texas rig 95% of the time for rage rigging i use mustad power lock plus with the adjustable weight 

 

      tight lines

These were developed specifically for the rage rig:

I peg a weight to a texas rig'd rage product more often than not though.

I use Owner Twistlock hooks when I am Rage Righing them. But as has been said, you don't have to Rage Rig a Rage Tail bait. Similarly to Andrew, I also T-rig them the majority of the time that I fish them.

I use Gamakatsu superline weighted springlock in 3/0 & 4/0 1/16oz. I'll rig paca craws, brush hogs, super flukes, and beaver baits with them.

I have ewg hooks and some owner ultra heads. I guess my question was will any weighted swim bait hook work.

I prefer hooks that have the weight positioned further back on the hook bend to allow a more horizontal fall. Several years back, I assisted in the design of the Moaner Hooks "Weighted Stroker" which is an EWG style and the "Weighted Stick'r" where an EWG isn't necessary, but more of a flippin style hook is better suited for use with smaller dia baits. Sizes from 2/0 up to 6/0. Weight is a Hydro dynamic design, no shoulders at either end to avoid grass drag. Medium dia wire for more ease of hooksets when using Fluoro for the slower bottom bumping presentations, yet  a strong enough wire to hold bigger fish.

 

I'm not sponsored by them and nor have I ever received any financial benefits for my assistance... I just needed Hooks that worked Correctly for my style of fishing

Steve, and chance you can work with a company like Gamakatsu, Owner, or VMC do the hooks would be available in stores rather than just online orderable?

I found some on ebay that have Gamy hooks and are way cheaper than any you can buy at a store...I think I got them for like $.62 each.   Work just like any of the name brand ones.
