Has anyone used these? Will they work on conventional offset hooks to TX rig soft plastics? Will it allow the bait to lie in a straight line? I am wanting to use these not only for TX rigging senkos, but also to use for my alabama rigs.

Seems cheaper than buying hooks with these already on them, but then again the eyes are set different than the normal offset. Thanks!

Owner with center pins are the best, but can be wide, which will need an offset, but they just are the best for saving your baits.

Owner's Center Pin. I really like their Shaky Head and Twistlock Hooks. I don't go thru as many baits...

Get the "Jig style" Hooks that have either the 30 or 60 degree Vertical Eyes and use the screw locks on them. Less expensive if you buy the hooks and screw locks separately and make them yourself. And you can customize the screw locks and hooks for the size that you prefer! thumb

4/0 Gammy 2014 EWG (25 hooks) $11.65 or the Daiichi 4633 Straight Shank Red Hook (25 hooks) $13.27
Medium Snap Coil Forms (25 ea) $2.95
That's $.58 - $.65 each hook. Before Shipping.

For years now I've been using the "Owner Twist Lock Light" in 3/0 for my 7" power worms, 5/0 for 10" power worms, & the 4/0 for any pitching & flipping baits & I've had great success with them. It does take a little practice to get the spring dead center of smaller bodied worms but it's a breeze once you get the hang of it & I save a ton on plastics due to the centering pin keeper. We fish a lot of brush, rocks, & some grass & I catch just as many fish as anyone else in the club or local tourneys plus I'm re-rigging a new worm much less. I never reel in because my worm has slid onto the shank of my hook nor do I miss a fish because my worm has slid down the shank & covered the point. The Owner Shaky Head is also one of the shaky head jigs that I use. I would use nothing but the Owner Shaky Head if they made the same centering pin design with a EWG hook.

If you look at the Owner hook with the centering pin you will notice that it has a slight offset at the line tie. You need that offset to rig your plastic bait on straight. That is why I buy the Owner version instead of using the spring keeper on a regular hook.

The Owners are the best IMHO been using them for years no problems work really well in the grass.
