Need keepers or way to save nose-hooked Senkos

Post by Snyder Rods » Wed Nov 06, 2013 2:31 am

Can anybody tell me where to purchase the keepers, like those featured on Mister Twister keeper hooks? I need just the keepers.

I do not want the screw type.

Or something that I can insert into a senko to nose hook it without loosing so many baits.

Hi Snyder Rods,

I know you said you don't want twist type bait keepers but these Owner hooks do a great job of holding onto a plastic bait.

You can buy the hook keeper alone. I think the Owner twist bait keeper is the best available.

Or try a bait keeper hook like this.

Or like this.

What are you hit liking about the CPS springs (the Owner CPS twist locks he's pictured)? :-k

You should try them if you haven't already. Most twist-style trailer hooks are awful (Trokar, VMC, Gamakatsu)...I agree with you there...the Owner springs with the center post are completely different. Night and day. I yank off the other styles and replace them with CPS before I ever use the hooks.

You can buy them in bulk at Tacklewarehouse. Cabelas and BPS will have the smaller packs.
