Offset hooks: Swivel fluke / worm hooks

A wide-gap offset hook with a swivel at the eye, finesse to hybrid wire, made for soft jerkbaits (flukes) fished weightless: the wide gap clears the fluke's thick body, the light wire lets it dart, and the straight pull keeps it running true. The same hook takes 5–6" (13–15 cm) worms, which is why stores file it with worm hooks; the swivel is what sets it apart from the plain wide-gap pages.
