Hayabusa Wacky WRM201

The medium wire wacky and drop shot hook — the standard one, and the one most people end up with. The round bend is strong enough to pull a decent fish out of cover or up from depth, which is more than can be said for a lot of finesse hooks in that size range.

There is a long gap between the eye and the point, and that separation is what turns a nose-hooked stick bait into a hook-up rather than a pluck. Wacky rigged, drop shot or split shot, it does all three properly. Black nickel finish.
