Eagle Claw Swimbait Hook 3ct 3/16oz Size 3/0
The Eagle Claw Swimbait Hook Size 3/0 is a versatile, purpose-built option for anglers working swimbaits across a range of freshwater and saltwater conditions. This three-pack comes rigged at 3/16 ounces per hook, ready to tie on and fish. The keel weight integrated into the shank does the heavy lifting for you—it naturally orients your swimbait to run true and hold your target depth, eliminating the twisting and rolling that wastes casts and loses strikes. Whether you're targeting bass, pike, musky, or stripers, the design keeps your presentation consistent and your bait in the zone longer.
What sets these hooks apart is the spring keeper, a simple but effective feature that lets you rig weedless without sacrificing hook-up integrity. Thread your swimbait onto the keeper, and you gain the ability to fish shallow cover, vegetation, and woody structure that would otherwise foul standard hooks. You'll also get more casts per bait—the keeper holds soft plastics securely and reduces the damage that comes from repeated casting and fish contact.
Size 3/0 is the Goldilocks sweet spot for medium swimbaits, bridging the gap between finesse presentations and substantial profiles. At this gauge, the hook penetrates cleanly on the strike without tearing through soft plastic bodies, and the wire strength handles fish that make hard runs. The three-hook pack makes it easy to rig multiple baits, swap if you break one off, or experiment with rigging angles and depths across a single outing.
This is straight-ahead swimbait hardware with no gimmicks—the keel weight and keeper do exactly what they're designed to do, and the Eagle Claw name has been trusted by anglers for generations. If you work swimbaits and want a hook that keeps your bait running straight and riding shallow cover, grab a pack and get on the water.

Frequently Asked Questions
What swimbaits work best with this hook?
Size 3/0 accommodates medium-profile swimbaits. The spring keeper holds soft plastic bodies securely without requiring adhesive, and the keel weight is sized to balance baits in that profile range. Exact compatibility depends on your swimbait's length and body diameter, but this size is versatile enough for a wide range of medium swimbaits.
Can I fish this hook in weeds and shallow cover?
Yes. The spring keeper is specifically designed for weedless rigging, allowing you to thread your swimbait onto the keeper and fish shallow vegetation, timber, and other cover that would normally snag standard hooks. The weedless profile opens up water that heavier, more exposed rigs can't reach.
How many hooks are in the pack?
This is a three-pack. Each hook comes rigged at 3/16 ounce, giving you three ready-to-fish options or the chance to replace a hook if it breaks or dulls during an outing.
What fish species can I target with these hooks?
The 3/0 size and keel weight make these hooks versatile across bass, pike, musky, stripers, and other species that respond to swimbait presentations. The hook's design works in both freshwater and saltwater conditions.
