Smile Blade® Slow Death

$5.29
Description Details Tips Featuring the popular Slow Death Hook and a Smile Blade 1.1, the offset bend in the Smile Blade Slow Death hook causes the bait to spin, enticing walleye to bite. Does the Smile Blade slow down the amount of roll you get on a Slow Death Hook? No, the Smile Blade is lightweight enough that it does not deter from the roll or spin of this rig. How does the hook roll or spin with a Slow Death style hook? The hook has an extreme bend in it, so when weight is put onto the bend of the hook, it rolls or spins. Threading a piece of nightcrawler on the hook works well.
