Quick take
A small weedless baitholder hook that keeps soft baits on point while avoiding vegetation snags.
The Eagle Claw 449 in size 2/0 is a bronze, non-offset weedless baitholder for anglers fishing bass and walleye cover. A wire weed guard deflects grass and debris from the point and gives way when a fish bites, and two slits along the long shank hold soft plastics such as ribbon tail worms. Its straight ringed eye and forged, barbed point suit worms rigged straight through the body.
