Hey Tony……….I agree that the twistlock hooks are certainly versatile, but if you’re using elastech products most of the time, you can’t beat a weighted grip pin hook. Not only does the weight easily slip through the material, but you can bury the eye of the hook inside the elastech resulting in about as weedless a presentation as you can get.
I haven’t been able to try out the grip pins. No one around me sells them but i’m definitely interested in trying them out.
You definitely need to do so, Tony. They’re widely available online. For Gulp and other soft plastics, the twistlock is more versatile and the better choice, however, the exposed eye still catches weeds. For elastech addicts like me, a 1/8 or 3/16 oz grip pin hook with the hook eye embedded in the material is more weedless and the far better choice.
Tony have you ever had the z man baits become “untwisted” from the spring lock? I’ve used the OTL’s on the Minnowz, Deizel minnows and the EZshrimpZ and they almost always come unscrewed for me. I’ve resorted to using the Mustad Grip Pin hooks which work well but even harder to find than the OTL’s and more expensive. Once they become unscrewed they never seem to be the same again.
I haven’t had that issue. I tend to twist the bait further than I should and then back it off a little bit to make sure the spring is in fully.
This is the exact video I needed Tony. I was having trouble rigging the Zman on the twist lock so I resorted to tying a new hook/jig head when switching between them and gulps. Awesome stuff!
Glad it can help Trevor!
