Quick take
Size 4/0 heavy duty flipping hooks with double spike baitholder and resin closed eye.
A size 4/0 flipping hook in black nickel, sold four to a pack. Double spikes on the shank hold soft plastics in place, and a resin-sealed eye stops the line from slipping through. There is room above the baitholder for a snell knot, though it also takes a standard knot, which suits anglers pitching baits into heavy cover on braid or thick mono.
Best for
- Flipping soft plastics into heavy cover
- Pitching to thick weeds and wood
- Braided line fishing in tough conditions
Skip if
- You fish catch-and-release-only waters
- You prefer circle hooks
Strengths
