Big Eye The size of the hook eye is big, well suited to any split-rings used on the lures. The hook length is short. This allows prevents the hooks from tangling with each other on short bodied lures or lures that have the hook hangars too close together. The short shank also means the hook will be less likely to get caught on the bib or swing over the lure’s body. The large eye easily accommodates the split-rings. Notice how thick the wire gauge is. 49
