Man I have been excited once I ran across your video !! Your true passion and excitement about comes over the video. Instant Sub !! I will follow up with my results. And what I used . God Bless ! Mr E The OG
Most of those baits are thick which means they're pretty close to the shank. This means hook point exposure would be minimal and difficult with the round bend as the bait has to move over a hump as opposed to straight or freely as with an EWG. I'm thinking your hook-up percentage might suffer, especially compared to a slightly bent out EWG point. This is VERY easy to test, simply hold the bait with one hand and hit it near and at the hook point with a pen, stick, ruler, whatever.
Yeah this has been a conversation with this hook for sure. Matt Stefan made a video on this last week as he is co owner of Core tackle with Jonny. I have not seen to have a problem with hook up ratio so far this summer. I have lost more fish / had em throw me off on a jig head minnow then this hook.
My buddy has been throwing the "Flipididodad" rig for years , pretty much the exact same thing, was developed on Lake Chickamauga over 5 years ago , its a fish catcher
I have several packs... problem I'm running into is the vline tie needs to be longer if the bait has a lot of plastic at the top it's not working well. u basically need to push eyelet thru bait the tie it on so u don't pull that weight thru the plastic an mess your bait up. I recently tried to use it on the new Yamamoto yamatunuki and it won't work it just messed the bait up. I really wanted this to work but only way I see this being any good is making that 90 deg eye longer so it comes out the bait then u can tie on.
Yes sir! I dang lost a good one on it messing around near a pond two days ago…. But I was testing action and seeing how the baits worked on it. One me and you have talked about recently …. Is 🔥🔥🔥
I bought a few when they first came out, so far i will say almost every fish has been hooked in the top mouth or lip, honestly, I like it better than my traditional Texas rig with a creature style bait. next time out will try the panaroma.
Don’t have any yet but the Core Tackle weighted hooks were smoking the bass yesterday with a 3.3 keitech. The other two guys were catching on other baits but nothing like the like the Core Tackle hooks.
I threw that hook and multiple other hooks for years... this weight is distributed throughout the hook. Not just in a small section. In scenarios with soft plastics like worms and creature baits... it gives the bait more of a gliding action in the water. Thanks John
@@TheFishingCoach good point. I don’t have lily pads near me but I rarely have snags around wood or especially rock. If your plastic is rigged correctly, it won’t rock or roll at all, so the only way for it to get snagged is if you are dragging bottom. With the Ozark only being a lightweight design, maybe the weedless hover rig would be a better option?
I’m on a river with near constant current generation. The heaviest Ozark rig would never reach the bottom of the lake even in 10ft of water unless used way back in a pocket or creek. It’s just impossible to use on the main River
Yes it is a situational bait… I would not fish it in high current situation. There are a lot of techniques I would not fish with high current on main river
Yeah that hook is a lil bit different concept. The weight on it is in a small section of the hook and away from the line pony. This weight is distributed throughout the whole hook. They end up having different action with the same baits. Appreciate you sharing though!!
Core Tackle has never let me down. Everything they put out is so worth it.
Yes sir! I know I get a complaint at times of price but it is good quality products. Appreciate the comment 👍🏽

I appreciate ya! Thanks for the comment! I do get excited in my videos, some people tell me to chill out... I tell them this is just me!

Man I will go check it out! Never heard of it
Great video!!! Thanks for the tips on the Ozark Rig!!! Will be putting it on my wish list for sure!!! Stay Safe & God Bless!!
Appreciate it! I tested a variety of baits on it in a local pond and I am very impressed 👍🏽

I will share feedback with Jonny and Matt. Thanks!
Csntwait forTW to start carrying them 👍
Your new spot's looking cool buddy 😎
Yes sir! Appreciate it 👍🏽
Interesting. Definitely going to have to try some! - James

@@TheFishingCoach yeah I'm definitely going to have to try em out on that hook 😬🤫
Yeah I filmed this before I tested some baits … so cat is not out of the bag yet 😬. May keep that one 🤫 for a while
@@TheFishingCoach yeah I definitely would. Just a lil sum sum for yaself 😂🤣 I got a whole nother pile of them I forgot about besides what I sent! 😬

I threw that on this after I filmed the video … I like it 👍🏽

That’s great! What state were you fishing in? Appreciate you sharing 👍🏽
South East Missouri
The inexpensive Eagle Claw weighted hook does the same thing for a fraction of the cost. Compare and assess - the results will surprise you.

Had the same result in terms of catches - thanks for posting and keeping discussins classy@@TheFishingCoach
Do you have any issues with hookup ratio? There doesn't seem to be much bite gap with that hook on those plastics.
I have not. That was something I was wondering with it as well but does not seem to be a problem
@@TheFishingCoach Good to hear!
Wonder how it will work with a Gilly
Me too! I bet it will have a good gliding action to it.
For swimming, that’s why they designed the Tush! The weight is 100% hidden 🤦♂️
The hook is exposed in the tush. Can’t swim a bait in lily pads stems or shallow grass.… just an example
@@TheFishingCoach good point. I don’t have lily pads near me but I rarely have snags around wood or especially rock.

You can still throw the hover rig in some spots or the weedless one. I have heavy cover that the ozark rig is for sure the better option in my area.

Thanks William!
Vmc has drop dead hook out for a couples years now. Same concept

Wanna lose all the action out youR bait while tearing it to hell before it ever touches the water?! HAVE I GOT THE HOOK FOR YOU!
I will have a video soon with a lot of ACTION with this hook
No
Great to hear from ya!
Shhhhhhh ... DELETE THIS VIDEO NOW😂😂😂.. I'm wrecking them on this Ozark rig.. I mean WRECKING them!!!!
Heck yeah!! I lost a good one messing around with it in a local pond the other day. I am impressed by these 🤙🏽
