Superbly sharp weedless hooks with a twist. A problem with lures like the Z-Man plastics especially is their tendency to slip down the shank on the retrieve. The Gamakatsu Silicone Stopper hooks come provided with a simple yet brilliant addition. A silicone bead/cone.Simply slide the silicone on to the hook shank while rigging and slide it up under the nose of the lure. This holds the lure in position. No more slippage!
