Overview
ZoneLoc’s Oshaughnessy Offset Shank Worm Hook is an all-purpose hook that can be used for a variety of applications. It features a highly innovative, multi-patented, hook design, which greatly increases hook-up ratio and fish retention. There are a few key features that make ZoneLoc’s cutting-edge hook technology possible. First, it features a unique offset main bend just below the barb that keeps fish in the main bend or “sweet spot” of the hook like no other hooks on the market. The offset main bend design greatly increases fish retention by also protecting fish from the barb of the hook, which is a common problem with fish retention on standard hooks. The extremely sharp barbs can and will cut a bigger hole in a fish’s jaw, allowing them to slip off the end of the hook.
Another key feature of ZoneLoc hooks is the shorter distance between the hook point and the main bend or “sweet spot” of the hook. This allows fish to dump into the main bend of the hook faster than with normal hooks despite the offset main bend design - for lightning fast hooksets. If you’re looking for a new hook to cover the majority of your favorite techniques, the ZoneLoc Oshaughnessy Offset Shank Worm Hook is available in a wide-range of sizes that makes it ideal for anything from light Texas-rigs to Carolina-rigging big worms - and everything in-between.

Comments: These are perfect for light texas rigs with smaller worms. I use them with spinning and casting gear. Probably one of the easiest hooks to tex-spose. They keep the bait rigged better than normal offset hooks. Only times I have straightened any of these hooks were during snags in wood.

Comments: Not impressed, especially if you use braided line. Don't set the hook too hard you'll straighten it right out. Very weak hook. My hook set bent everyone of them
