Straight-shank hooks: Flipping and punching hooks

The wide-gap, heavy-duty build of the straight worm hook. The eye is welded or sealed so a snell of braid cannot slip through, a keeper holds the bait, and the wire is thick enough for 50 lb+ braid and a full-power set through a mat.

ItemDetail
ShapeStraight shank, bait keeper (barb, double spike or coil), sealed eye
WireHeavy: Owner Jungle Flippin' 4X (HD 5X); Gamakatsu Heavy Cover, Super Heavy Cover (holds 80–100 lb braid)
Sizes3/0–5/0; finesse flipping 1/0–2/0
RigTungsten weight 3/4–2 oz (21–57 g) pegged on top, creature or craw bait, often a snell knot
Line / rod50–65 lb braid, 7'6"–8' (2.29–2.44 m) H–XH rod
WhereMatted grass, hyacinth, reeds, heavy wood

Why straight here: the punching set pulls straight up through the mat, and a straight shank puts all of it into the point. An offset bend wastes part of that pull and turns the bait.

The rig itself, its pairings by mat thickness, and the flipping and pitching casts are on the punching rig page.
