Used these hooks for a recent trip on a clear lake. The grip pin held the soft plastic firmly without slipping. I caught several bass on shads with this setup. The hook holds up well after repeated use and doesn’t show any wear.

Great for finesse fishing. The resin grip keeps the bait in place even during quick strikes. I’ve used them with both worms and swimbaits and found them reliable and durable.
