Description

A custom, refined, heavy duty EWG swimbait hook designed to grip and hold ElaZtech superplastics, the ZWG Weighted Swimbait Hook works equally well with conventional soft plastics. Conical molded plastics keeper positioned on neck of hook is easy to rig and locks bait nose in place, enhancing hookup ratios and preventing baits from sliding down after missed strikes. Positioning the hookpoint perfectly, a silicone bead also keeps the bait aligned without the need to ‘Tex-pose’ rig. Dual-tapered hookpoint maintains sticky sharpness, while its black nickel-plated finish yields excellent corrosion resistance. Slim weight profile allows baits to slide over effortlessly for easy rigging (weight stamped on lead for quick ID).
