Two things separate it from a plain offset hook. The first is the \u003cstrong\u003eTornado\u003c\/strong\u003e itself — the spiral screw keeper wound onto the front of the shank. You turn the head of the soft plastic onto that coil rather than pushing the plastic onto a bare shank, so the bait locks square and stays there through casts, weed contact and short strikes. The second is the weight, moulded onto the shank with a slightly forward centre of gravity. That forward bias stabilises the fall, keeps a swimbait tracking upright early in the retrieve, and lets an otherwise weightless weedless rig be cast a long way and dropped quickly, with no bullet sinker sliding above the knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew lock keeper — a spiral coil that threads into the bait nose and holds it square\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated shank weight: no separate sinker sliding on the leader\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward centre of gravity to stabilise fall posture and keep the bait upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide gap offset bend for weedless rigging; produced with Ken Iyobe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree hooks per pack; #3\/0, #4\/0 and #5\/0 in 1.8 g and 3.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreading the bait on\u003c\/strong\u003e — Centre the coil on the nose and turn the \u003cem\u003ebait\u003c\/em\u003e onto the screw, not the screw into the bait.
