For this demonstration, I am using a Hoss Helix Hook but this will work with any weighted hook that has the weight on the shank of the hook.

In short, this hack is to move the weight on the hook shank to change the action of your presentations.

Changing the location of the weight gives you a bit more control of the lure depth.

If the weight is more forward and closer to the eye of the hook, your offerings will fall quicker to the bottom.

This is useful if you are fishing in heavy current or windy conditions and you need to cut through quick to drop down below.

If the weight is pushed further back on the hook shank, it causes your lure to flutter and float back down to the bottom.

The location of the weight on the hook shank impacts the overall presentation.

Moreover, you can adjust the weight along the hook shank yourself!

All you need is a pair of pliers.

Pinch down on the weight and LIGHTLY twist the weight to loosen it just a bit.

Then once the weight is free, you can adjust it to your preference.

When the weight is where you want it, squeeze down on the weight the same way you would a split shot weight.

Conclusion

The desired presentation you want to get out of a lure will determine which way you should move the weight.

Especially during the fall and winter, where your lure sits in the water column has a huge impact on your success.
