Like them or no? If so do y'all use them on all plastics, or just certain baits?

This is probably a dumb question but why not t-rig?

I like them on baits that I don't want to put a lot of holes in and any bait I want to keel weight, such as swim baits.

I have used both, kinda curious if it makes a difference in the way the bait moves/falls.

I use them at times if fishing the top or the middle of the water column.
Prefer a traditional hook for dragging or hopping plastics on the bottom.

Roboworm EZ Shad One of my favorite baits for a twist lock hook is the Roboworm EZ Shad. This bait really shines this time of year and you can catch some monsters on it. It performs very well on a twist lock hook and it's very weedless. I love swimming this bait around lily pads, grass, shoreline cover, and docks. Most any plastic will work well on a twist lock hook, but I feel like this bait performs the best on one of those hooks.

On Trig the baits tail doesn't seem to float as high with keel weight vs. bullet weight.

This is probably a dumb question but why not t-rig? I didn't like the way the slip sinker sits on the screw lock hook. I was assuming you were talking about the un-weighted version. You can get them with or without a weight.

I use alot of Owners wistlock Zro wire flipping hooks they worked very well. Loved them on small baits like Netbaits B Bug and Gamblers ugly otter smaller profile baits. Work great on swimbaits as well.

They work great with Rage Craws -- baits last much longer.
