TRAPPER TACKLE HEAVY COVER SUPER WIDE GAP HOOK

The Trapper Tackle Heavy Cover Offset Super Wide Gap Hook is a heavy-duty fishing hook designed for targeting big fish in thick vegetation, heavy cover, and dense structure. Built for demanding techniques such as flipping, pitching, punching, and fishing large soft plastics, this hook combines an extra-wide gap with extremely heavy-duty construction.

Its standout feature is Trapper Tackle's distinctive Trapper Box design—a squared-off section incorporated into the bottom of the hook bend. This unique shape is designed to help secure the soft plastic bait and improve hook retention once a fish is hooked.

Constructed from XXX Heavy Gauge high-carbon steel, the Heavy Cover Super Wide Gap Hook is built to withstand the powerful pressure associated with heavy tackle and strong braided line. The wide gap also provides plenty of clearance when rigging thicker, bulkier soft plastics.

The enlarged bend adds additional weight to the hook, helping certain weightless soft plastics achieve a faster fall and providing a keel effect that can help keep the bait running more consistently during retrieves.

The Trapper Box Advantage

The distinctive Trapper Box is the defining feature of this hook. Located at the bottom of the bend, its squared-off shape is designed to improve bait retention and help keep fish securely hooked during the fight.

For best performance, select a soft plastic that fits the hook correctly without excessively filling the Trapper Box. Allowing sufficient clearance helps the bait move away from the hook point when a fish strikes, promoting effective hook penetration.
