A NEW IDEA FROM TRAPPER TACKLE
It looks odd , but Trapper Tackle ’ s new hook design so impressed folks at ICAST that they voted it Best Terminal Tackle at the New Product Showcase . The hook ’ s most notable feature is its boxy bend , an interesting design meant to assist in better retention for both the fish you hook and the bait .
Currently , Trapper makes five styles of hook : Offset Wide Gap Hook , Offset Wide Gap Hook with X-heavy Wire , Dropshot / Live Bait / Finesse , 30 Degree Jig Hook and Heavy Cover Offset Super Wide Gap Hook . Prices , sizes and quantities per pack vary by style .
