Best Hooks For Bass Fishing: Senko, Worms, Crankbaits, Topwater, Swimbait!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лис 2024
- So many hooks, so little time! Its taken us years (and hundreds of packs of hooks) to develop this short list of the best hooks for different situations. Whether you want to wacky rig a senko, punch a creature, or throw a deep diving crankbait, we've compiled this list for you! Not only do we cover hook styles, we also cover wire sizes, strength, etc... to perfectly match your fishing conditions.
Tim starts off with reaction baits and wraps it up with soft plastics. The reason for this is most anglers lose fish on treble hook baits. Crankbaits and topwater are the primary heartbreakers in bass fishing. You think you've got that fish hooked well but when the head shakes start, you lose. Almost all of these losses can be avoided if you truly understand treble hooks. When to switch between styles, when to switch to heavier gauge wire, etc.
Today's video is a lot for you to digest as an angler. We know Tim breezed through a ton of hooks in a short time but its the only way to cover all the information. Below is a detailed breakdown of the hooks in order of appearance in the video. If you click the links (they go direct to Tackle Warehouse) you will see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. This truly is a challenging year with store shelves around the country completely empty and mixed information on future shipments. We hope this video gives you the information you need to be successful throughout the Summer and Fall.

#fishing #hook #bassfishing
The most informative fishing channel on UA-cam! Hands down!!!💯🔥
I've been slacking on upgrading my hooks. Thanks guys
Me too...and just got to fish for an hour and a half before work...got 9 bites, and missed completely or lost them halfway on every single one!! Then I get to work and see the notification for this video!! I think the universe is trying to tell me something!! Lmao
That's why I like the strike king red eye shad lipless cause they come with vmc hooks on them already I rarely ever loose fish
Lose* ugh spelling
Always throwing the best knowledge our way, thank you guys!
💪🏆What an incredible full video on the most important connection between the fisherman and the lure,thank you Tim 👍
Thank you Ken!
Tim,
One of your best presentations. Very informative without repetition. Congrats. Thanks.
I'm 'hooked' on your informative vids!
Great video and those shirts are 🔥!!!
You got Photo Bumbed at the end of your video, Lol. Thanks for sharing, you guys have helped me up my fishing game, by simplifying it.
Glad you mentioned these owner mosquito light hooks. The regular mosquito are one of the lightest wire hooks I've run into. Just wish owner offered there single replacement hooks domestically, have to import from Japan.
Any fishing questions I have I turn this channel. Matt and Tim are dope af🙌🏽
i love the tactical finesse and the goby swimbait heads but man that megabass okashira screw head has been dominating for me. incredible finesse head.
So much knowledge you guys share thanks for what you do
Very informative as always, thank you!
Thank you!
Those st-35s are really nice. I even started using them for swimbaits. A lighter wire that is still very strong.
Great video
Very comprehensive, thanks a million. When can we expect to see some info on the new St Croix Legend Xtreme rods that you have been fishing ?
Hopefully we will be getting out fishing a lot more in the near future and out all of our rods to work 👍
Fantastic info. Keep em coming.
Thanks Tim
I've always hated treble hook, and swap them out for single hooks. What's your guys's opinion on single hooks, why would you do it? Why would you not do it? Love what you guys do keep it up
I'm usually an owner hook guy but I've been trying out some VMC lately and I really like there hybrid treble hook. And also that finesse neko hook is $
Awesome vid as usual, do wish you would have included red treble hooks. 👍🍺🎣
Excellent.
Thanks Matt, great info! Would you suggest an EWG treble hook for vertical jigging spoon like Kastmaster or round bend? We do a lot of verticle spoon fishing in 35-45' here on Table Rock mid summer. I would think the EWG might be better not getting hung up as much... your thoughts please.
Nothing better than Gama's, Vmc, or kvd elite trebles!
I upgraded all my cranks and topwaters early this year with mustad triple grips which are my favorite. I just seem to keep more fish pinned and in the boat with them.
I like owner hooks but the Gamakatsu superline hooks are good too
Yes they are 👍
Awesome information 🤙🏽
Man the tackle industry as a whole needs to send you guys a commission check for all the $ you guys remind me I need to spend on baits, tackle, rods, reels....lol
Hey Tim not exactly a hook question but what were the yellow boxes you had your drop shot hooks in and are they part of a terminal tackle box? And as always awesome video
Great video Tim! Do you guys ever use EWG (single) hooks?
what size hooks do you guys use for swimbaits? I am looking to upgrade all of my swimbait hooks to St-36 or 56 but I don't know what size to use.
The timing, i was just about to look for new hooks for my hardbaits
What size ST-36?? There are 20 sizes 1 2 3 1/0?? Please be specific!! Thanks, Tim
7'2"MH Expride or 7'3"MH Poison Adrena for all around rod but mainly light texas rigs? Is the up grade to the Poison worth it or is the money better off spent else where?
Great vid Tim. I wondered if you guys ever throw a Picasso Scrounger. With a Keitech fluke or another fluke bait. Thank you
Thanks! We actually have them but don’t throw them often but they work 👍
What about throwing long shank trebles on the back of crankbaits? Does it help?
I have been sticking up on all brand and styles of hooks I can find. When I can I find good hits on clearence ill buy the all. Love the owner hooks, of course gammi, as well as hayabusa and omtd.
I’m lucky because the first treble hooks I got we the owner ones and I’ve been using them ever since
Dude!! Why they make fishing a science. All you need are sharp, string hooks. Done simple. I hardly ever lose fish once I got them hooked.
Great stuff, Tim. Question, why a worm style hook vs an EWG style hook for soft plastics?
Both work great! Just a preference I guess
TacticalBassin Awesome. Thank you. I’m fairly new to bass fishing and have tried both and didn’t know if there was a better hook up ratio with one vs the other. Keep the vids coming-I have learned so much from watching and it’s made fishing so much more enjoyable.
I saw on your tube video that the nrx model was 872s jwr and I was wondering what those numbers mean?
What about top waters that have the hook eyelets not parallel with the bait itself (Mega bass Dog X diamanté) I broke a hook after having dozens of fish destroy it and I can’t compensate buying the same ones that came on it since they’re way expensive and only available in Japan (Gamakatsu sp-mh)
When I started I bought anything in sight. I wasn’t sure what to buy. That being said I have some 1/0 and 2/0 ewg Gamakatsu hooks. What can these size hooks be rigged with?
Love the guppy head.....just wish they would improve the keeper. Keitechs don't last long, even with superglue
5/0 sounds HUGE for a senko. Yamamoto himself recommends a 3/0 and Matt Allen recommended a 1/0 or 2/0 in a previous video..
4/0 works great but it depends on the type of hook you’re using. Matt likes a 3/0 Superline 👍
TacticalBassin I gotcha. I was just reading the description from a senko video from two months ago where a 2/0 gama offset wide gap was recommended. I just looked it up to make sure I’m not going crazy lol 😆 watch you guys religiously
good stuff
Nice
Everyone says change you crank bait hooks and I say what type of hook so thankyou
Hey Tim you should tell Matt his beard is getting a little out of control LoL
What do you guys think about the berkley fusion hooks?
I haven’t had much experience with them recently.
I love y’all been watching for years. I would love to have a tactical hat. How do I get one
I asked the same thing, but got no answer.
Tim and Matt love the show it is wonderful your thoughts on the tournament on Clearlake that ended with over 150 bass left dead in the water you kill it you eat it .. would love to hear your thoughts poor anglers or poor tournament director
Any links or info available on that?
datruth hurts record bee news paper July 29 Wednesday lake county ca terry night did a article many on the website
What’s up with the audio boys?? Sounds like Tim is in a box, kinda got an echo or something. Seems off boys. Love the vid an info !!
It got Super windy during the vid 👍
So, I fish in lake Jordan AL no less than 4 times a week because it’s close to home but, I’m getting skunked a lot..
I’ve tried so many things and not a lot is working, I kinda wonder if it’s just really really over fished.. bass boats are always all over the place daily.
I honestly believe all of the shallow water bass have been caught so many times that they’ve probably died from it..
Could this even be possible or are there like millions of bass and I just suck, lol. I really like trolling and tossing frogs into the grass but, it’s really just a complete waste of time.
I have the same problem except its everywhere i go in Ga... im not sure that its not just the heat. Water temp stays 85+ always during the summer
Lol same here in central ohio! I have recent luck using a dropshot explicitly! Yes many areas are highly pressured. Sucks !
I go to a friends pond where I get to experiment with different new lures.. Last time I went out and got skunked.. My friend comes out and looks at all my gear and puts on a simple plastic jerk bait.. Small.. And on a underspin hook but without the leaf or spinner attached.. I was thinking hmm.. And then.. POW.. FISH AWWN.. I guess I gotta go back to th drawing board. Lol
Owner stinger on poopers are great
Who all else has noticed how fast Owner st-36's rust? I will literally fish one day and have to change them out do to this. I tried contacting Owner but had no luck. Ended up switching brands for all my round bend applications.
I had what looked like a 5 pound smallie rip off a split ring and hook on a jerk bait.
I caught a 4 earlier in the day so it wasnt to devastating.
Well there goes another hundo....
Terminal tackle always gets me too. Quality terminal tackle adds up quickly.
What’s the best rod for a beginner for 6 inch glide baits and bullshads
Just use a mh-h powered rod with a fast action that you already have. They honestly aren't that big and heavy of lures. If you insist, I do like my dobyns colt 734c for 1.5oz lures.
Even the mockingbird wanted to learn about hooks. Too bad it landed on your power pole late in the presentation.
