XPoint is the Hook for Record Bass

Take a closer look:

• 4 micro cutting edges insure structural integrity and strength.
   
• Perfect, straight points are always parallel to line of pull.
   
• XPoints are made from 110 carbon steel. Others boast about their 80 rating.
   
• Our Double Money Back Guarantee is printed on every pack of hooks.

Are you still a little sceptical? Then take a look at some recent research.

In the winter of 1996 a major surgical needle manufacturer let us use their lab to test the penetrability (sharpness) of various "ultra sharp" hooks. (This is a public company whose needles go for over $100 each!) The hooks tested were of the same wire diameter and finish - the only difference was the design of the points.

The results surprised everyone involved! The next best was a top needle point brand design from Japan. It took 350 grams of force to penetrate from the tip of the point to the tip of the barb. The XPoint took only 50 grams. That's Seven Times Sharper!

The Perfect Hooks for Plastics!

XPoint Tips

Weedless Drop Shot’n Tips
By Rich Tauber

• The Rig
  Drop Shot'n is the new tournament winning technique that allows a longer presentation in the Bass's habitat.
   
• The Hook
  XPoints' penetrate up to SEVEN times faster than ordinary hooks! The light wire allows more action too!
   
• The Knot
  Simply tie the Palomar knot with a 2-3' long tag end. Thread the tag end through the back of the knot through the eye.
   
• The Lure
  Choose your favourite Worm or Grub. Remember, the smaller the better.
   
• The Weight
  Now attach the tag end from the palomar knot to the sinker. While any 1/16th or 1/8th ounce "Bass Casting" weight will do, you will get better performance from a special Drop Shot weight like the Bakudan.
   
• The Tackle
  A medium action rod rigged with 4-10 point line is best. The lighter the line, the more action and bites you'll get.
   
• Cast
  Make a cast and watch your line. Don't forget this will work in water 1' to 80' dep. When line goes slack you've reached the bottom. Continue this motion during this sweep. When you feel a soft tap or heaviness, set the hook!
   
• Catch
  Now that you've set the hook, keep a steady pressure on the fish. Take your time and enjoy the battle. Don't forget to practice Catch Photograph and Release!
   

Good Fishing!
