@johngarner9929 11 месяцев назад

One key point - the EWG style hook have the points of the hook more inline with the eye, whereas the offset hook point is about 1/8 of an inch offset from the hook’s eye. I prefer straight shank worm hooks but that is just me. I have learned a lot from your videos - you are a class act.

@jasonsparks4601 11 месяцев назад

So twist the ewg a touch so it's a little offset....just a thought

@truthsleuth271 11 месяцев назад

Great video. A tip that I use when using an extra thick bait with an EWG, like a keitech swing impact fat for example…I take my needle nose pliers and bend the hook out just slightly. That small amount will dramatically increase your hook-up ratio. Thanks for all your tips…they are consistently good ones.

@catchofthedave8681 11 месяцев назад

Oh Matt, great video. About 2 years ago I was losing a lot of fish on t-rigs, and really everything. I started doing a deep dive into hooks and changing out trebles on cranks and stuff, and trying different things with flipping and texas rigs. In my experience, most ewg hooks while they have a wide gap, the hook point is almost perfectly in line with the front flat part of hook before the bend. It works out great for rigging because your baits can be perfectly straight when you tex-pose the hook tip. The problem is, if the fish doesnt eat it right, you will pull the bait right out of its mouth with no hookup because the point is so perfectly inline with eye and front of hook. The offset worm hook you notice the point of the hook sits significantly higher than the front of the hook, to me it hooks up much easier. So the absolute best hooks for a general texas rig or flipping when its not super heavy or thick cover, is the offset worm hook, or with a thicker bait i like the gamakatsu g-finnes hybrid worm hook. Its kinda like an offset worm hook, and an ewg combined, and the hook point is higher than the eye and straight part of front of hook so it hooks them almost every time. Dont let the thin gfinesse offset worm hook fool you, it is hardened and very strong and does not bend out easy, and I think it's the best of both worlds. Everyone has their own little tests and experiences they have done, and plain and simple, everyone has differences in the way they fish certain techniques. Different rods, different line, different hooksets, etc. For me, I like the thinnest hooks i can get away with, and hooks that are shaped and angled to hookup the easiest without a super strong hookset. Since I fish from a kayak, I get bit a lot from a sitting position, so I can not always get the perfect angle and power into a hookset. Sometimes I'm at weird angles and can not get good power, so I have to compensate by using softer rods and thin hooks to kinda auto-set as I sweep the rod. But like you said, for everyone out there, they have to find the hooks that work the best for them and the way they fish. There really is no universal "best" piece of gear. There is however the "best" piece of gear for your style of fishing, and it just takes some trial and error and time on the water fishing to figure it out. Thanks for the content Matt, and good luck on the BPT bro..

Years ago i made a change to the gamakatsu skip gap hook. The bait never slides down the hook and never needs ajusting. Its extremely sharp and will hold up to 10pounders without bending out. The most important thing is i never miss a fish,if they bite they are caught. Great info man

I do like to use the regular offset warm hook on a creature bait in heavy grass if it's not too thick of a plastic. Sometimes the EWG hooks on the grass while fighting a fish more than the regular one. That's if I still get enough bite gap depending on the bait

@seizedcarcass8440 11 месяцев назад

I’ve gotten to the point that offset worm hooks just don’t matter to me. I use straight shank or EWG exclusively because I can downsize my EWG and achieve a similar result. Also I like that the EWG has a deeper bite in the center which I feel allows for a better hook set. I use offset worm hooks on occasion still but not nearly as often.

Thanks Matt. Your guidelines for EWG vs worm hooks is almost exactly what I typically do. Only difference is that I prefer to use straight-shank hooks when pitching creature baits. I also use EWGs when texas-rigging thicker worms like Senkos (for the same reason you mentioned - extra bite gap).

@S2pidMedia 11 месяцев назад

Me personally, unless I'm throwing really big creature baits in the prespawn or immediate post spawn, I usually use a 1/0 or 2/0 ewg for everything. If I'm fishing a tournament, I'll carry 12 rods and everything will be the ideal, but if I'm just out to relax and have fun, less is more, and I'll only carry 4 to 6 rods, and my plastics rods will be ewg hooks.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing

@kj197734 11 месяцев назад

I said I would never give up my Owner hooks. The Haymaker is a difference maker if someone is looking for a unique EWG hook. But I have also gotten into the BKK Basilisk hook for worms. It is another unique O'Shaugnessy hook that surprised me.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

It’s a good hook!

@LowBrowFishing 11 месяцев назад

I prefer to use a worm hook with a stickbait or other worm, but I've actually gotten to where I'm using a straight shank or flipping hook with most of my other plastics. Although that's not 100% of the time. But I think, for me at least, it might just be a preference thing.

@raybrenneman7240 11 месяцев назад

Good video! Might I suggest using Gamakatsu g finesse hybrid worm hook for both creature and worms. Started using them this year for summer 10” worms and expanded my use to big senkos, 4” pit boss and 3.5” yamatanuki . I used 1/0-5/0 and almost never lost a bass. Usually the bass was hooked through the bone 1-1.5” back from the front of the mouth. The offset bend is a little more z shape thus holding the bait better from balling up. They come 1/0-8/0. Just pick the right size and you won’t be disappointed in the performance.

@comfortablynumb9342 11 месяцев назад

This is good info. I recently started trying SnakeLocks hooks and Texas Eye jigs. Both have EWG swinging hooks. I love the action they give lures but I seem to have a bad hookup ratio with them. A lot of times it's little fish that aren't easy to hook on jig heads either. But today something was ripping out line and had me all excited and it got off the hook. It was most likely a nice redfish. I caught a couple baby flounders, a couple little black sea bass, a lizard fish and a big spot. It was too weedy for the Hover Rigs. Anything with an exposed hook caught grass and even the weedless rigs caught some. I sure wish I could figure out hooking fish on those hooks, I missed some good bites.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@Tackletuesdayfishing 11 месяцев назад

In Florida , I’ve found the offset hook to be a lot better in heavy grass and pads. I use the EWG for flukes, stick baits, and also a Carolina rig since I don’t mind skin hooking the bait on that rig.

@ScruffyCityFishing 11 месяцев назад

Really good point on the difference. I mostly use the EWG as it tends to not be swallowed by the fish as easily. Just my observation anyway. Carolina rig seems to be really bad about it as you can’t feel the bite as easily with a giant weight between you and the fish.

@MattStefanFishing 10 месяцев назад

@Larry77777 11 месяцев назад

Hey Matt: My observations: Some RU-vidrs on their thick plastics insist on a flippin' hook rather than a EWG. But that requires the hook point to be hidden at an angle, not through and parallel. I think the angle arrangement creates a worse hookup ratio and so I will stick with Texas-rigged EWG for thick plastics.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

I don’t like straight shank

@johnnyweaver1300 11 месяцев назад

The EWG hook I do use it for every texas rig plastic, but I can see on them the line tie & hook point are even, I don't know if that gets me less bites or not! 👍🎣

@kevinbeaudean704 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Matt. Back to basics, Its a fact when worm fishing you get more bites with the worm hook. I have tried both many times on worms and now I only use the offset worm hooks. Have you tried the gamagatsu hybrid worm (EWG) yet? I thought I would be using the gammy EWG forever but the hybrid just goes clean through every time.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

I have but haven’t had enough experience with it yet

@vincentlivoti4184 11 месяцев назад

Matt have you tried the Gamakatsu G-Finesse hybrid worm hook? It is the best of both EWG and Worm hooks. It is a tournament grade wire hook. I have yet to loose a fish I hooked.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

It’s a good hook

@mistertwister1816 11 месяцев назад

Matt, for the offset hook with worm I see you have chosen a round bend. These offset hooks also come in the O’Shaughnessy bend style. Which do you prefer and why?

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

I like both. For thicker worms like magnum speed worms i like the round bend and smaller body worms like a power worm i like the oshaughnessy

@VictorVectorMusic 11 месяцев назад

You forgot to mention probably the most popular plastic there is, a Senko. EWG's is all I use with them.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

Right on

@ZZ430T56 11 месяцев назад

IMO both of these style hooks you will go through a pack of baits real fast as the nose tears. I prefer the Owner style with the twistlock. I get 100 of the "Hitch hiker" on Amazon and your favorite brand choice of 4/0 60 degree jig hooks. Baits last so much longer and point lays flat. Especially weak softer baits like the Yamamoto Senko, Fat Ika, and Yamatanuki.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing

@georgebramblett6078 11 месяцев назад

With a bigger worm like a 10.5" 12" or bigger would you recommend just using the EWG hook

@joefish63 11 месяцев назад

Exactly. Even some shorter but bulkier worms like the 5.75" Netbait Big Bopper or either of the Zoom Speed Worms....an EWG makes more sense.

@MattStefanFishing 11 месяцев назад

@Altered76 11 месяцев назад

I cant stand ewg hooks they do nothing for me but cost me fish. The hook point has the eye blocking it what a great (sarcasm) idea. I love the pit boss. Its my go to pitching bait. A strait shank flipping hook 4/0 or 5/0 has no problem with it. I don’t know what genius thought a hook with metal right in front of the point was going to help hookups but clearly it was a brilliant marketing scheme. Considering there is no proof a problem existed with plastics especially a soft plastic like the pit boss. Sometimes I think anglers and the fishing industry dream up or intentionally make up garbage to see if it sells. Carry on sir 😂

@rorygillespie719 11 месяцев назад

Not sure because so many individuals who talk about hooks say the same thing, but I believe the offset has to do with the relationship between the point of the hook and the eye. An offset hook point is above the eye, hence, offset. The EWG hook point is inline with the eye. Both hooks have the bend in the shank to act as a bait holder of sorts. Hybrid EWGs have a wide gap and a hook point offset from the eye. I could be wrong.

@jimliechty2983 11 месяцев назад

Offset h hook has nothing to do assets relationship of the eye and the point. Offset is the bend in the shank that you are calling the bait holder
