Offset hooks: Weighted offset hooks

Every offset hook that carries its own weight, gathered on one page: shank-weighted narrow and wide gaps, weighted EWGs in both wires, keel swimbait hooks and bladed hooks, and the Texas-rigged jig heads that are the same idea poured as a head. Each has its own page under its gap; this page pools their rankings.

ItemDetail
Shank weightA small lead or tungsten bead on the shank: the bait falls level; near the eye it noses down, near the belly it backslides. A bottom blade hangs from this weight
Head weightA cone or ball at the eye, on the keeper: the bait falls nose-first
Keel weightA weight low under the shank: the bait runs upright
BladeA keel weight with a blade: flash for search baits, EWG only
Texas-rigged jig headsBall, football, swimbait, shaky and Ned heads poured on an offset hook

Match the weight to the bait, not the depth: a weighted hook is for a level fall and a steady swim, a bullet sinker for getting down.
