Owner TwistLOCK: 3X vs. Light vs. Finesse

[Corey T]

Can anyone give me a rundown and possibly a picture the three different Owner hooks? I’m looking for a 1/0 (maybe #1) and am not sure I get the difference. I have what I believe is the 3X (model 5132-111) and it seems like a great hook but might just be a hair heavier than what I am wanting. That naturally leads me to the Light (model 5167-111)but I’m not sure what the difference is between that Light and the Finesse ( model possibly 11757?). 
 

Anyone been down this road? I appreciate any feedback.

I like the light from my kayak.  I'm more confident in the hooksets, as opposed to the 'regular'.  The finesse models have a wider gap...to act as a keel?

The only twistlocks I avoid are the flipping models...the point points so far up from the screw lock that my plastics need adjusting nearly every cast

@Choporoz good feedback, thanks. Is that light hook quite a bit smaller? I am looking for something to use with 6# InvisX on a 3.6 flatworm presentation. The 1/0 3X is just a little too big of a hook and I want to have just a smidge slower fall rate. Might need to drop down to the #1 as well. 

Picture below is what I’m working on.

4/0's.  Flipping, Regular and Light.  I don't even weigh fish....I have never weighed any tackle

I’m sure most people don’t... wife has been telling me I’m an odd one for years ?‍♂️  Thanks, this picture helps a lot.

Top is a 1/0 Light, bottom is a 1/0 Finesse.

 

I am currently on a "tiny weightless plastics" kick as well and had these out on the bench already.  I can weigh them both if you would like.

 

In general, I use the Light hooks for general duty fishing and the Finesse ones for UL and some L rods as it's a thinner hook and the wider gap seems to give better hooksets with less force needed to move the plastic.  I have some of the 3X/Flipping hooks but only really use them for t-rigged jigs and the very very little punching I do.
