When it comes to big bait fishing, you’ve got to have the right equipment—even down to the hooks you use. Having the right hooks can make all the difference in successfully landing larger, stronger fish.
Species like redfish, snook, tarpon, cobia, and wahoo that can range in size from 20 to over 100 pounds (over 250 in the case of tarpon) require heavy tackle and big baits to entice them to bite.
True, “big bait” doesn’t always equal “big fish”—if you’re targeting bass in a lake, you might be able to get by with some 3 inch worms if the weather’s cool enough. But when it comes to reeling in giants inshore, nearshore, or offshore, you’ve got to think bigger.
If you’re fishing with big swimbaits, I’d highly recommend BKK’s Titan Rider swimbait hooks for their extreme strength and unique design features. These hooks are designed specifically for weedless rigging of large swimbaits and soft plastics, making them a go-to for any angler looking to hook (and land) bigger fish. Here’s why they’re better than other hooks you might pick up at a tackle store:
1. Deep Hook Gap
One of the standout features of the Titan Rider hooks is their deep hook gap, which allows for proper rigging of plus-sized swimbaits. This not only ensures that your bait looks natural in the water, but also provides maximum hook point exposure after a bite. This is critical when fishing for larger, stronger fish like tarpon, jack, and wahoo that can easily shake off a poorly set hook.
The lengthened hook point section and deep hook gap allow for further penetration into the fish's mouth for deeper and more secure hooksets. This means that you can be more confident setting the hook, and increase your chances of landing that trophy fish.
2. Adjustable Bait Stopper
Another unique feature of BKK’s Titan Rider swimbait hooks is the adjustable silicone bait stopper. This keeps your soft plastics in position during casting and swimming, yet easily slides down the hook gap during a strike to expose the point. This ensures that you don't miss any potential bites and can easily land more fish.
3. Bait Keeper
The hook eye on these swimbait hooks is equipped with a screw-locking spring bait keeper, which is designed to reduce wear and tear on your baits and make them easier to add or remove. This means that you can spend more time fishing and less time replacing worn-out baits.
4. Proprietary Low-Friction Coating
BKK's unique Super Slide coating aids in the penetration of larger fish by reducing friction to a minimal level. This ensures higher hookup rates—and more successful landings.
As a fisherman, you know that every advantage counts when it comes to fishing, and these swimbait hooks provide a significant advantage.
The Bottom Line
The Titan Rider hooks by BKK are a must-have in your tacklebox for any serious angler looking to more effectively target big fish. Their unique features, functionality, and strength make them stand out from other swimbait hooks on the market. Once you've experienced the thrill of reeling in a big one with a Titan Rider hook, you'll never want to fish without them again.
