Hayabusa Wide Gap Screw Lock WRM958

A wide gape hook with a tapered screw lock in the eye instead of a barb or a keeper. The taper widens into the nose of the bait as you thread it on, so a swimbait or a big soft plastic sits flush and square rather than cocked to one side.

Ken Iyobe designed it for soft plastics fished high in the water and retrieved rather than dragged. The space between point, shank and screw is what makes it weedless, and the smaller sizes work perfectly well on finesse baits. NRB fluorine coat.
