Overview
Designed in collaboration with Bassmaster Elite Series pros, the VMC Wide Gap Spinshot Hook features VMC's award-winning SpinShot System to completely eliminate line twist on drop shot rigs, while also improving the action your baits and improving hooksets. The wide gap hook allows you to rig bigger, bulkier baits weedlessly, use bigger lines, and fish in heavier cover. Also called power shotting, this form of drop shotting has yielded some huge results. Incorporating tweaks and tricks used by tournament pros for years to put more fish in the boat, the Wide Gap SpinShot Hook also includes a 3-degree offset hookpoint that greatly increases hookup ratios. A product of 200 years of hook making experience and decades of tournament experience, the VMC Wide Gap Spinshot Hooks will take you places drop shots have never been before.

Comments: Used these in the CA Delta for the first time. Caught some decent fish and didn't lose any; however, there are some issues. There's not enough space between the offset and the swivel to nose hook your bait plus its very awkward to do. The presentation doesn't look very natural if you are rigging for weedless use and the nose snugs up next to the swivel so it doesn't work properly. Got lots of line twist because of this. Also using just a pinch on the nose when rigging means one fish one plastic bait. The fish is able to throw the bait off pretty easy. Once the bait nose gets torn up, it's worthless. Wouldn't recommend this, maybe the longer neck hook will work better.

Comments: Bought some yesterday for $3.99 at a local tackle store (TWH needs to drop the price some). The 2/0 with a tiny fluke looks like it could be deadly. Can't wait to try them!
