Flat eye hooks for swim jigs?

Does anyone use these or have any experience using them? Flat eye hooks just work better for me fro all other jigs so I was planning on using them.

Re: Flat eye hooks for swim jigs?

I too like flat eye hooks on my jigs, BUT on a swim jig, you will have allot of people tell you that a flat eye will collect more trash when swimming through grass and such than a regular eye. Whether or not it actually does who knows, but that is the perception of most people so if you are going to be selling them, I would probably go with a regular eye on a swim jig. Good Luck!!

Outside of grass, it'll be fine. I definitely get more grass on a flat eye though. I use a snootie head for swimming though so that also helps decrease the grass pickup. Might be the round head that picks up the grass and not so much the flat eye.
