Conventional weedless hooks often ask you to change how you fish — a harder hookset, a stiffer rod — just to work around the guard the maker chose for you. The Worm108 hands that decision back. It carries several fine brush-guard strands rather than one fixed wire, and they can be adjusted on the water: trim strands out to soften the guard, or spread the remaining ones into a V to widen the cover it deflects. The result is a low-bias weedless hook that suits your technique instead of dictating it. The base hook is Decoy's Body Hook Worm23, the same masubari blank used for the Worm107 Body Guard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-strand brush guard that can be tuned by hand in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim strands to reduce guard tension, or spread them into a V-shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the Body Hook Worm23 masubari blank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCross-hooking (masubari) geometry for wacky, neko and drop shot work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNS Black finish; five hooks per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven sizes from #6 up to #1\/0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWorm108 HD Versus Worm107 Body Guard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWorm107\u003c\/strong\u003e — a single wire guard set at one fixed, deliberately middle tension.
