The BKK Wide Gap-R bait hook is specifically designed to favor a natural presentation in live bait fishing using bait fish, shrimp and crayfish. The unique bend of the hook creates a really wide gap that allows bait fish to swim freely. Besides, the combination of a the shape (hook point facing the hook shank) and an offset hook point (reversed) contributes to its ability to self-set into the jaw of the fish. The hook features a needle-sharp hook point and a black nickel coating that delivers great corrosion resistance performance in a wide range of conditions.

The BKK Hybrid Heavy Circle-SS is the inline-point version of the classic Heavy Circle-SS. It features BKK’s Super Slide coating for an enhanced penetration performance, a 45-degree up-turned eye to ease the snelling and an inline point to comply with the latest regulation of local fisheries and tournaments. It is the ultimate circle hook for striped bass fishing to support catch and release.

Glass beads are a great way to add flash, color, and sound to corks, harnesses, lures, and rigs

This derivative of the Carolina Ticker is designed specifically for Carolina Rigs. The large recessed cavity on one side rests over the knot, directly onto the swivel, protecting the knot from potential damage caused by the bead or sinker. Fish-attracting sound also is produced from the impact of the sinker or bead against the Pro-Ticker.

Brass Tickers add more noise to a rig because they use brass or lead bullet weights and glass beads to catch bass. Most frequently, the Brass Tickers are placed between the knot that secures the hook or swivel to your line, and a glass bead. Usually, a bullet weight is placed above the bead. When the whole rig is hopped along the bottom or shaken, the Ticker/bead/bullet weight combination creates lots of bass attracting noise, which will cause the fish to focus on your bait. As you can see in the image, the central hole that is bored through the Ticker has rounded and polished edges to ensure there are no sharp spots to damage your line or knot. Try these Pro Tickers on a Carolina-rig or a Texas-rig for more sound and more attention from bass.
