In a recent Insider EXCLUSIVE, I tested how paddletail action compares based on hook weight.
Different weights and sizes of hooks can have different effects on lure action.
This helps you choose the BEST possible hook option depending on the situation.

Mentioned Gear:
Hook choice is critical.
Depending on the situation, weather, and other conditions, you’ll want to use the BEST possible weight and size of hook to maximize your results.
You’ll notice how the Slam Shady 2.0 on the 1/8th oz. hook has more lively action to it on the descent.
While the same lure on the 1/16th oz. hook has much less kick to it.
Why is this important?
Most of the time, fish will strike your lures on the descent as it falls to the bottom.
So more action on the fall will lead to more strikes.
There are situations when you don’t want as much action if the fish are spooky.
This is why lure and hook choice is so critical.
