Overview
Sometimes when the fishing gets tough, you need to get a finesse bait into heavy cover where the fish are hiding. The Hayabusa WRM202 Weedless Wacky SP Hook allows anglers to present a wacky style bait without having to worry about snagging up on cover. Hayabusa’s Original Loop Stopper and the unique shape of the WRM202 Weedless Wacky SP Hook lets anglers rig their worm through the center, which allows the worm to serve as a weedguard and provide a virtually snagless presentation. The Original Loop Stopper holds your soft plastic worm securely in place and prevents it from sliding down the shank of the hook.
The Hayabusa WRM202 Weedless Wacky SP Hook wide gap design also provides enough space between the worm and the hook shank for the worm to collapse during fish strikes and deliver lightning fast hook penetration. Available in a range of sizes to accommodate most soft plastic finesse baits, the Hayabusa WRM 202 Weedless Wacky SP Hook is an essential tool every angler should have in their tackle box for those times when the conditions get tough.
Hayabusa - the pride of Japan - has been manufacturing uncompromising, high quality hooks since 1958.

Comments: This was the only hook I found that had the design that looked like it might work for how I rig neko/wacky weedless, so decided to buy a pack. After trying these hooks, I am extremely impressed by the design and quality, especially for the price. I usually don't like specialty hooks with a bunch of added hardware as they don't ever seem to work quite how they say, but this worked perfectly. The idea here to make it weedless is fundamentally the same as texas rigging, but through the middle of the worm. But with a normal wacky hook the worm slides all over, were as this hook has a worm holder that the worm rests on to keep it in place. This method is actually weedless unlike the wacky hooks with the tiny wire weed guards. The worm stayed in place even when I was working the bait pretty hard with twitches and jerks. Had no problem with hookups, great penetration. Overall quality of the hook is on par or better than the major brands. 2/0 was just about ideal size for the fairly standard sized 5.5 inch neko worm I was using (keitech easy shaker). I could fit a senko on the 2/0, but 3/0 would likely be better, and 1/0 for thinner/smaller worms. This was my first time trying Hayabusa and after this I will be buying more, especially after noticing that most of their hooks seem to cost 10-20% less than the major brands.
