The thinking is simple: braided PE line has almost no stretch, so the whole hookset arrives at the hook instead of being absorbed by the line, and a standard-gauge worm hook can open under that load. The FF311 answers with thicker wire through the bend and a rounded offset profile that suits a wide range of worm and creature shapes rather than one narrow body type. The gap is deep enough that a thick soft plastic can collapse on the strike and leave the point clear, while the offset shoulder locks the head of the bait against the eye so it does not slide down the shank after a few casts. A low-friction fluorine coating reduces the resistance the point meets going in. Seven sizes here, #2 to #5\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy wire through the bend, sized for hard hooksets and heavy tackle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded offset profile that accepts many worm, craw and creature shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep gap so a thick bait can compress and expose the point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset shoulder near the eye that stops the bait sliding down the shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-friction fluorine coating for smoother penetration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned by Toshinari Namiki; made in Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexas rig\u003c\/strong\u003e — Point in through the nose, out the belly, rotate, then re-enter so the point sits just under the skin.
