Trapper jig hooks

[Darkman]

Has any here poured any kind of jig with the Trapper hook, the box shaped one. I curious about them, I've used the D/S hook with success, but the hook I saw was 30 degree bend and the cost of them is close to what a Trokar cost.

 

thank you

I have seen them around but have not tried them yet? Looks gimmicky to me but I may try some.

Erick,  Land Big Fish has them for $10 less than everywhere else, I believe a 25 pack is $15.59 but that is still a little more than I want to spend on an experiment.  I understand they are meant to lock the plastic on the hook better and keep the fish on the hook as well but I can imagine trying to thread my swim jig trailer on that thing without tearing it up. I'm waiting to hear if anyone gives them a shot but for now I'm out until they get a few glowing reports.

I am trying to get a few samples myself, the price like you said is a bit high

i liked the D/S hooks but a jig hook is compleatly different, I'll post up a pic and info when and if I can get a few to try

I've poured Poison tail and swim jigs. They are a good strong hook. However for the money I prefer Gamakatsu.

I am using Gamakatsu  and they exceed my expectations, you can try

Had 6 of their wide gap , broke 4 of them on hook sets at the first bend .
