These hooks are very similar to the Jackall ones, but I prefer these ones way more. These Zappu hooks have more of a bend than the Jackalls and have thicker hooks so they will not bend. One time this year, I had 3 of the Jackall hooks and all of them either bent, or the senkos kept sliding off of them. I started fishing the senkos weightless, and I couldn't get a bite. My boater had the Zappu Inchi hooks and suggested that I try some of them. It proved to be good advice because I caught my 5 biggest fish of the day on these rigged wacky style with a #925 four inch senko. I would throw the senko with the Zappu hook next to a tree and shake the senko all the way to the bottom. The fish were killing it! I don't think my senko ever hit the ground without a fish inhaling it. The weight of the head allows you to shake the bait while it is falling and drives fish wild. The Zappu hooks saved my tournament and I use them all the time now. I have caught my biggest largemouth and smallmouth bass using these hooks and they have their place in my tackle box. There are many different baits you can use on these hooks, but I mainly use senkos. The lead head helps the bait sink a lot faster than usual and get to the strike zone quick. Anytime I am rigging something "wacky", the Zappu Inchi hooks are tied on. SBN:TNT
