Claws new R-Bend hook is a really neat hook, once you learn
how to rig your bait. It will hold your Texas rigged worms or
tubes in place as good as any hook I’ve ever used. The
heavy wire hook is a great choice for pitchin and flippin into
heavy cover, you’ll never have to worry about straighten
one out. The hard part is getting use to rigging your plastics,
its not done the traditional way. Hook in left hand, plastic
bait in right. First insert bait into top right of bait, not
the center, once in about a 1/16 of an inch, poke hook back
through the right side of bait and re-insert hook back into
bait, down another 1/16 of an inch. Now poke hook back through
the left side and continue to rig like you would your typical
texas rig. Sounds difficult but believe me it works and I promise
your bait won’t slide down your hook shank.
The only down fall I see in these hooks is they need to put
rigging instructions in the packaging and the baits you use
may tear up a little quicker than with a traditional hook.

The unique features of this
hook are:
- The R-BendTM design, which is superior to all other hooks
in holding plastic baits on the hook shank.
- This fishhook has a wide gap for the plastic bait to collapse
into, ensuring a deep hookset.
- The eye, which falls in line with the shank, allows for perfect
bait presentation. |
