Corey T Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 I have some 3.2” swimbaits that I am wanting to fish a lot this year but every head I am finding either has too long of a shank or is a light weight on a light wire. I’d like to be at least at a 1/4 but a 3/8 would be awesome. I want a heavier hook that I can lean into a bit. Any recommendations? Quote
Super User Choporoz Posted February 2, 2022 Super User Posted February 2, 2022 Not open hook, but I really like FinTech. They have a couple styles that might work for you. Quote
bigspirit Posted February 2, 2022 Posted February 2, 2022 Eyestrike Trout Eye finesse sounds like the ticket. Or normal trout eye. I fish the normal on 3” zman minnows a ton in fresh and saltwater. Quote

Strike King Baby Squadron heads are pretty cheap, fit 3.3” Keitech perfectly, and have a heavier hook. I use them on MH casting gear and come in 3/16 and 5/16. 2 Quote

GetFishorDieTryin Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 The SW Assasian jigheads have a super stout 3x short shank mustads. I use them for 3-4" flukes. They wont bend on FW bass. Quote
