Saving Money On Fishing Hooks

[Bass9Man]

I'm trying to save money. Buying Bass Tackle gets expensive. I'm thinking of getting these hooks.http://www.***.com/Do-it...e-DIMCSJH.html I'm looking to use them for plastics. Do you guys think, these hooks are worth using?

if you put a corkscrew keeper on there it would probably work awesome for plastics. I use a lot of those types of hooks for worms and lizards.

Biggest disadvantage is that it isn't designed with the hook gap to T-rig baits.

I disagree with that statement. While this is a jig hook, it is designed to have a plastic threaded on it and still stick a fish.

People use straight shank and standard offset to T/rig all the time and the gap is no different.

Right, Matt, but isn't the 32886 a narrow gap hook in the first place? I mean, yes, it will work, but you're going to have to upsize the hook considerably to fish many plastics on a Trig versus being threaded on.

I was thinking of a 4/0 hook

The 4/0 and 5/0 will cover most any bait without any issues. They may even increase your hook-ups because of the angle of hook point.
