Are these slow death hooks really any different from rigging the plastic bait with a little twist in the hook gap?  Something I've been doing effectively for years.

It looks to me as something designed to catch anglers more than fish.  Buying shelf space, the only reason 1/2 the flavours of Jell-o exist.

You could also just run a snap-weight a few feet up the line from a shallow diver if you want it to run deeper.

Personally I have no interest in fooling with all the rigging a bottom bouncer setup or 3-way rig entails.  If I want to bang bottom, then a deep running crank will do it.  If it's deeper than I can reach with a crank, I'll just have to jig.


I'm a little late to this thread, but I have to agree w/ SD. I don't mess w/ three ways or other fancy rigs. I like to keep it simple. If you want to add an attractor to your crank, just dip it in Gulp Alive juice. Wink
