5172 Wacky Hooks with Weed Guard, are the perfect hook for down-shottin' and drop-shottin' natural baits and soft plastics for suspended bass and panfish. The hook gap's sharp-angle bend serves as a "saddle" that encourages a worm rigged at the middle to seek an "optimum" position for an enticing horizontal presentation, which makes this an ideal hook for "wacky wormin'". This model with a Flex Nylon "weedless" guard is the choice for wormin’ in heavy cover. Features a Super Needle Point and camo green finish.
