So much of catching fish is about depth control.
You want to use the lightest weight possible to quickly get to the bottom.
If the weight is too heavy, your lure won’t have great action as you work it back to you.
If the weight is too light, it won’t get down to the bottom where the fish are feeding.
This new 3/16 oz. hook is perfect for winter fishing because it lets me get down to the bottom around the deeper docks, but it keeps my lure weedless so I don’t have to worry about snags (unlike most other hooks and jig heads).
Where To Get These New Hooks
These hooks just came out and I haven’t even seen them in stores, but we decided to order a few because I had a hunch I would like them.
As it turns out, I like them even more than I expected!
Since they passed our on the water test, they’re now available at our online tackle shop.
But a quick warning: we didn’t order too many, but I know they’re going to sell out quickly.
Conclusion
These new 3/16 oz. Owner TwistLock hooks are awesome!
The heavier weight lets me get down to the bottom in heavy structure where the fish are feeding, and I don’t have to worry about getting snagged and losing my lure.
You can get them from our tackle store here:

Luke,
Where can I get the video on how to best retrieve the alabama leprechaun?? Also, how did you rig them when you were fishing with two at a time?? many Thanks
Here’s a link to the mini-course for the leprechaun: https://saltstrongdev.wpengine.com/articles/alabama-leprechaun-lure/
I just came back from TRYING to fish in Louisiana marsh. Unlike Florida, it is 3ft of shallow then drops off to 16-27 feet immediately off the grass. When you say fish deep, how deep are you talking about for trout? Thx from a Salt Strong Insider.
Deep is often a relative thing based on the surrounding area… if a massive shallow flat that’s just 2 ft deep, a pothole that goes down to 5 ft would be considered deep.
When there are extreme ledges like what you described, it’s much tougher to pick a depth to target… It is typically best to target structure zones down the shelf to find which depth they are holding in. That can be take a long time to map out because deeper structure is tougher to find.
I got a solution for making the old twistlocks just as good as these new ones just pinch a splitshot to the shank below the weight I do this with my chasebaits plastic shrimp to get them to the bottom faster because the weight that is attached to the hook shank that comes with the bait sometimes is to light especially since the chasebaits is made from the same stretch tough plastics that zman baits are made from it works great and I don’t have to carry around extra hooks anyways just saying what works for me and it certainly does😁
Thanks so much for making time to post the helpful tip Steven!
Doesn’t the heavier weight kill the action of the lure?
It still has the same daring motion as the lighter weights… only noticeable difference is just falls faster.
Just ordered some, thanks for the heads up! They’ll work great with the Diesel Minnowz
Yes, they are a great fit for the diesel minnowz paddletails.
