"The ultimate weighted hook for inshore anglers who target big fish in shallow water with soft plastic lures."

These weighted hooks were originally created to fit the Prawn USA lures so Salt Strong Members can have a very effective way to fish an extremely effective weedless shrimp lure that is weedless while also having a great hookup ratio.

Its unique shape enables the Prawn USA lures to skip well while also having the perfect glide in the water as it falls back to the bottom that mimics a real shrimp as it goes down to the bottom.

However, these rigging hooks have proven to work exceptionally well with other soft plastics too, so they quickly rose to be the #1 most trusted rigging hook for Insider Club staff and members.

If you're looking for a great weighted hook to fish your favorite soft plastic lures on, then look no further.

Here are some tips to help you pick out the right hooks for your needs:

Here's a quick list showing which lures pair with each hook size:

3/0 Hook Size Pairings

Prawn USA Jr (3.5 inches long)
The 2.0 paddletails (3.5 inches long)
Mulligan paddletails (4 inches long)
Tweaker jerk bait (4 inches long)

Note: As you use lures on the bigger end of the range, it's essential to use a fast action rod with a strong backbone to be able to drive home hooksets... if using a Medium Light rod or a Moderate action rod, go with 4/0 sized hook for any lure over 4" long.

4/0 Hook Size Pairings

Prawn USA Original (4.3 inches)
Mulligan Bomber paddletails (5 inches)

5/0 Hook Size Pairings

Mulligan Bomber paddletails (5 inches)

Depth Coverage Ranges

When fishing the shallows, every 6 inches of depth coverage can be crucial to maximize your results. Here's a quick listing of the depth ranges that each of these weights will most effectively cover:

1/16th oz = 0.5 to 1.5 ft
1/8th oz = 1.0 to 2.5 ft
3/16th oz = 1.5 to 3.0 ft

Note: Please note that the lures like paddletails with water drag will ride slightly higher in the water column compared to streamlined lures like Prawn USAs & Jerk Shads. The depth ranges above show a general average.
