Offset hooks: Weighted wide-gap hooks

A wide-gap offset hook with a shank weight: sticks and flukes rigged weightless-style, but sinking a little faster and holding depth on the retrieve.

Item	Detail
Weight	0.9–3.5 g (1/32–1/8 oz)
Wire	Finesse to hybrid
Baits	Stick baits, flukes, small creatures
Rigs	Weighted weightless rig, twitching flukes over grass, docks
Also	One of the weighted offset hooks

A weighted hook falls broadside; a bullet sinker falls nose-first. Pick by how you want the bait to arrive.
