Offset hooks: Weighted narrow-gap hooks

A narrow-gap offset hook with a small weight moulded on the shank. The worm falls level and slowly, casts farther than weightless, and skips under docks.

Item	Detail
Weight	0.9–2.5 g (1/32–3/32 oz)
Wire	Finesse to hybrid
Baits	Slim worms, finesse worms, small sticks, beavers
Rigs	Weightless-style Texas, skipping, sight fishing
