Favorite hook for soft body swimbaits?

Post by Lee In Mountain View »

Happy Holidays everyone!

I was hoping you might share your thoughts on the hooks you might use for soft body swimbaits like the Yum Money Minnow, brand, size, styles etc.

I hope Santa Claus is good to all!

Hollow body Basstrix paddletails;

Look at hollow swimbait inserts and swimtrix and weedless swimbait jig.

Try a football head on those 3/8 or 1/2 with a 4/0 or 5/0 in rocky areas bumping bottom. Or if I swim them I pour a sea horse head with an underspin. Blade runner has the closest thing you can buy. If it has to be weedless I just throw a mission fish.
