Owner Double Toad Hook - Justin Lucas
The Double Toad hook was designed to be fished with any of the toad softbaits on the market. The hook is made from three separate pieces of wire, which makes it 100% balanced, unlike double hooks made from 2 pieces of the wire. A narrower V-angle between shanks rigs most "toads" perfectly and makes it easier for baits to slide into the gap upon hooksets. Features include a separate eye between shanks for rigging spinners, Twistlock Centering Pin Spring (patented) for straight rigging, Super needle points, and black chrome finish.
