    Owner Twist lock Open Gap Hooks ? For t-rigs?

    Would like to have some feedback on the Owner Twist lock Open Gap Hooks. They seem they would be great for T-rigs. My only concern in the twist lock rubbing against the mail line causing it to eventually fail. Thoughts?

    I use these with great sucess the most frustrating thing with any t rig or weedless set up plastics is the plastic balling up on the point this will never happen plus your plastics will last longer maybe a few extra fish per bait to me the only issue is the eye of the hook is semi exposed when pegged causing grass to catch in that spot

    I use these hooks for everything. They work great. Also check out the light wire version. They also have a hardcore flipping hook too. My only suggestion is maybe trim a bit of the pin it it's too long.
    I had a great tournament run one Aug to dec. Had the same 5/0 hook and 3/8 oz sinker on 50 # braid for maybe 17 weeks. Caught maybe 150 bass on that one hook. 4" chompers tube black red flake.

    It's a great hook. I use it for weightless Senkos and flukes. They also make a weighted version, 1/8th and 1/16th oz. that I use when I want to get them deeper or when it's windy so they don't wind drift on me.

    I use that hook in 5/0 for soft bodied frogs, works great and I really enjoy the pin for centering the bait and getting it started. I’ve never tried them as a T rig hook but with something like a fluke that rips literally every time you set the hook, I can see this working quite well!
