Hooks for swimbaits?

[DJD]

I was at Backwaters Thrusday, just looking around, and on the end of the first aisle along with their nice selection of swimbaits, they also have the weighted hooks with the small screw-in attachment to attach to the swimbait. I think the weights vary in size from 1/8 to 3/16 and are reasonable priced.

I plan on going there next week so I'll check that out! Thanks Guys

This is an earlier post of mine about the basstrix style swimbaits,5 inch size,hope this helps:
The hooks are Owner wide gap plus size 6/0 and the weights are Rubber core sinkers size 1/8 oz.To rig them:take the eye of the hook through the chin of the bait till the eye sticks out of the mouth of the bait.Was told once you tie it on to keep the eye on the outside.Then you just rig it weedless like you would a fluke.Take the rubber core sinker and open it with a screwdriver and put it on the hook about a 1/4 in from where it comes out of the chin.He said without the weight it will roll like crazy.Also the bait is very soft and will not hold up well with out some super glue or ? so if these work as well as i hope they wont last long.I have not tried this and fished it yet,just relaying what i know so far.
