Overview
Created to revolutionize swimbait fishing, the Core Tackle Ultimate Swimbait Hook (TUSH) provides a more natural profile and action that translates into more bites. Unlike traditional swimbait jigheads, the Core Tackle Ultimate Swimbait Hook (TUSH) utilizes a hidden weight design with the lead poured around the shank of the hook, which gives your swimbait more side to side body roll and natural glide on the pause. It also makes the overall profile more compact, cast farther, and skip easier under overhanging cover. The stacked cone design locks swimbaits firmly in place once rigged and prolongs the life, allowing anglers to catch more fish per bait as well. Available in multiple sizes, the Core Tackle Ultimate Swimbait Hook (TUSH) will take your swimbait fishing to the next level.

Comments: I was excited to get this terminal tackle. I got the 3/16 size. I have tried them on different sizes and styles of baits. So far I think the best fit for the 3/16 are 3.8, 4.3 for Keitech Fat or Bass Pro Speed Shad and 4.5 for the Hog Farmer spunk shad. I got the hook to fit on a 3" Bass Pro Speed Shad and 3.3" Keitech fats but I didn't like the fit. The reason I like the bigger size plastics is because the weight of this hook is actually pretty big in diameter which can overwhelm a smaller bait. BTW, be very careful with threading these things on your swimbaits. Watch the product video they explain how to exactly get the hook on your swimbaits. Just make sure you keep the hook in the middle of the plastic and it's all good. Can't wait for more weights and hook sizes.

Comments: The weight makes the bait too rigid and it falls on its side very unnatural like. I was using a fluke style like plastic, and I found better result using a plain 90 degree hook and adding a nail weight. Good idea but it was just easier and had a better presentation when I added my own weight. The only down fall of a regular 90 degree hook is the plastic slips out a lot if you don't add some sort bait holder and a touch of super glue.

Comments: The 7/0 3/4 pairs well with the 6" hollow body basstrix. The hook/weight fits inside the basstrix where its hollow. I have been getting good bites swimming the bait deep over dropoffs.

Comments: When I originally found out about these I assumed it would be great for finesse swimbait presentations but in actuality the hooks are a bit on the beefier side. Make them with lighter wire hooks and more weight options per hook size and then it would actually be a line of "the ultimate swimbait hook". Left as is, it's better to throw them on heavier tackle.

Comments: Besides giving Your swim bait a little more action it also gives it a little roll which is really cool. It also comes through grass better because there is no head to get caught.
