An outstanding choice for replacing the stock hooks on your hardbaits, the Gamakatsu EWG Treble Short Shank 2X Magic Eye Hook is compact, sticky sharp, and incredibly strong. Gamakatsu’s Magic Eye design makes substituting older hooks for newer ones a breeze. Simply insert the tapered hook-eye into the split ring and slide your new Gamakatsu EWG Treble Short Shank 2X Magic Eye Hook in place of your previous hook, and voila! You’re finished. No split ring pliers, no irritated fingernails, and no frustrating time spent fidgeting with opening the split ring. The Extra Wide Gap extends the hook deeper into the fish’s mouth, allowing for a solid penetration and an increased hold. Perfect for fishing thick cover, the short shank keeps the hook close to the body of the bait to decrease snagging and fouling, while the 2X strength permits the force necessary to pull big bass out of the heaviest thicket. Great for any hardbait applications, the Gamakatsu EWG Treble Short Shank 2X Magic Eye Hook is an innovative leap forward.
Comments: Perfect for topwater and shallow diving broken backs on the flats. Far outlasts any hook I've used. They are super sticky and stay that way for a long time. The wide gap and short shank maximize hook ups on reds.

Comments: These hooks are great but they are heavy and that extra weight can upset the balance of your hard baits. I put them on a couple of Lucky Craft Pointer 100s which are suspending jerkbaits but the hooks are heavy enough to upset the balance and now the jerkbaits sink fast. These hooks are best for floating or lipless crankbaits but not suspending jerkbaits so beware before buying.

Comments: I use these on my vision 110's and lets just say that they last so much longer then the original hooks plus they are way sharper. i use the size 4.

Comments: I bought these hooks to replace the treble hooks on all my topwater baits (Pop R, Spooks, Whopper Plopper) and they are awesome!! I bought the #6, #4, and #2 sizes and these Gamakatsu hooks are sticky sharp and very strong! The short shank allows the fish to choke the bait easier and the EWG keeps the fish pinned. The first day I tried them out I caught over 15 lbs on one Rebel Pop R and never lost a fish that was hooked up (hooks stayed sharp all day!!). I would highly recommend these treble hooks to anyone who is looking to upgrade their stock trebles.

Comments: I use these hooks to switch out stock hooks on crankbaits I fish for fall great lakes king salmon. Let's just say that these hooks usually last much longer than the crankbaits I put them on. Awesome hooks.

Comments: These hooks are some bad dudes! I replaced all the hooks on my Jawjacker Square Bills with them. the EWG design comes through cover easier that the round bend does, and the hook seems to "lock" into the jaw on a bass. It almost seems to wrap around the jawbone and the barb holds it in place very well. I'm sold!

Comments: Good to see some new innovation in short-shank trebles. I'm sure I'll wait to get a look until they go on sale to keep from paying a buck+ a hook though. The Magic Eye deal holds very little to no extra value for me, though I change out trebles all the time. I sometimes use the M.E. round bends and I still wind up using my Texas Tackle split ring pliers since it isn't substantially easier to get on the ring than any other hook, for me at least. Not bad, just a neutral feature for me. An observation drawn from the M.E. Round bend short-shank's is the 2X steel makes the hook a good bit more physically heavy than say a kvd triple grip (that is 1X steel). While this thick steel may help in extreme conditions, as mentioned in the description, it makes it tough to upgrade to a #2 with many lures. I love the new bend design, but I already see where brand X could probably 'one-up' this hook. Just make a 1X steel 2X short #3 size hook - the wire would be proportionately thicker (than a #4) being a bigger hook (plenty strong for bass). It would probably weigh no more than this 2X M.E. Hook in a #4 size. More bite would interest me more than an extra strong small hook - for LM Bass fishing anyway. If they made this same bend design in a 1X #3 wouldn't you be licking your chops?
