Quick take
Weighted weedless hooks with a spring keeper for rigging swim baits without tangling in heavy cover.
This is a 3/0 lead swimbait hook weighted at 1/8 oz, sold as a pack of ten. The lead body is meant to help with longer, more accurate casts. A spring keeper with a centering pin screws the soft plastic on so it stays put through casts and retrieves. The weedless profile is made to slip past vegetation and structure, and the hook works in fresh and salt water for bass, pike, muskie and walleye. It is the smaller of the two hook sizes sold at 1/8 oz in this line.
Best for
- Grass and weed beds where standard hooks snag constantly
- Bass and pike where heavy cover is the target
- Anglers using small to medium swim baits
Skip if
- You fish open water where weedless profile is unnecessary
- You need a variety of weights for different depths
Strengths
- Weedless guard keeps the hook from snagging weeds and brush
- Spring keeper holds soft baits secured during casting and retrieving
- Lead head adds casting distance and lure action
Trade-offs
- Hook size limited to 3/0; larger swim baits need other rigs
- Single weight restricts depth control in variable water
- Weedless guard can reduce hookup rate in open water

Common questions
What size hook is the Reaction Tackle 1/8 oz swimbait hook?
This Reaction Tackle lead swimbait hook is a 3/0 hook weighted at 1/8 oz. Each pack holds ten hooks. The same line pairs the 1/8 oz weight with a 4/0 hook, and it offers 3/0 and 4/0 options at 3/16 oz as well.
Is the Reaction Tackle 3/0 swimbait hook good for saltwater?
The manufacturer lists this lead swimbait hook for both freshwater and saltwater use, so the 3/0 1/8 oz version can go into either. It is aimed at bass, pike, muskie and walleye, and its weedless profile suits fishing around vegetation and structure in both kinds of water.
How does the spring keeper on the Reaction Tackle 3/0 hook hold a swimbait?
This hook has a spring keeper with a centering pin that screws the soft plastic onto the hook, so the bait stays put through casts and retrieves. Each of the ten hooks in the pack carries the same keeper and the same 3/0, 1/8 oz build.
How is the Reaction Tackle 1/8 oz 3/0 swimbait hook different from the 4/0 version?
The 1/8 oz 3/0 hook is the smaller of the two 1/8 oz options in this line, and the 1/8 oz 4/0 uses a larger hook at the same weight. Both come in a pack of ten, both are lead, and both use the spring keeper and weedless design.
