EWG hooks are a practical choice for bass fishing because their extra-wide gap gives soft plastics room to compress and helps turn short strikes into solid hookups. Sized and rigged correctly, they work well with Texas rigs, stick baits, creature baits, and other soft plastics in cover or open water.
Essential Concepts
EWG = extra-wide gap.
Best for soft plastics and weedless rigs.
Match hook size to bait thickness.
Sharp hooks and straight rigging matter.
