Fishing hollow bodied swimbaits like the Strike King Shadalicious or the Berkley Hollow Belly will help you put more fish in the boat in pre-spawn, spawn and post spawn situations. These baits look like the real deal in the water but rigging them can be troublesome. Many anglers complain about destroying a bait or two during their first attempts at rigging them and because they are soft and pliable you will go through a few when fishing. There are trade-offs with this style of bait. They are very lifelike, fish love them, but they also will slide down the hook and the nose can get torn.

 

Jewel Bait Company has a solution with their new Hyper Cone and Jewel Swimbait Hook. The Jewel Hyper Cone is a conical piece of soft plastic that slides on the Jewel Swimbait Hook Hyperpin and keeps the head of the bait in place. The weighted Jewel Swimbait Hook is balanced perfectly and with the Hyper Cone attached allows the angler to get more milage out of the bait. Another great feature of the Hyper Cone is its color. They are red and when place into the swimbait gives the bait the appearance of internal organs.

 

Five to six inch swimbaits use the cone only while the six inch or larger models use the entire Hyper Cone.

 

This little trick will get you more bites and also get you more fish in the boat.
