Is the plastic bait you are using to thick and heavy for your regular hooks? Viola! The Gamakatsu Offset Extra Wide Gap hook is the answer to your problem. Try them with big creature baits, big Senkos, and those over sized worms with thick bodies. Gamakatsu makes these hooks with the point in line with the eye of the hook so when you set the hook, all the force goes to the point to drive it through your plastic bait and into a hard, bony mouth. These are probably the best selling bass worm hooks in the known world!
