The wide gap design enhances hook up percentage when presenting bigger and bulkier baits, while the 45 degree upturned eye puts the hook shank directly in-line with the leader when tied with a snell knot. This puts the hook point in prime hook setting position when tension is applied to the line. The bright tin red painted coating provides great corrosion and helps increase the concealment of the hook from wary fish by more closely matching the color of the bait.
