This version pairs that shape with a ring eye and a tin finish. The offset profile helps the hook turn inside the mouth; the forged flat-sided body resists opening under load. Tin plating is the practical part — a corrosion-resistant coating that slows rust on a wet hook in the box or a rig left made up overnight, with a bright silver surface that reflects light in deeper water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing (closed) eye instead of a flatted eye: higher strength, no gap for the knot to slip into, and no pressed edge to shave heavy leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide round bend with space to present large natural baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset point to improve the hook’s turning action inside the mouth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged flat body for extra strength under heavy pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTin (silver) plating for corrosion resistance in salt water, plus a reflective surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven sizes, #16 through #22, for boat, bottom and deep-water rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDropper bottom rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Two hooks on droppers above a bank sinker, dropped onto reef, rubble or wreck.
