Tacoma, Washington (February 17, 2021) – Walleye anglers across the Midwest have become dependent upon the spin style hooks for walleye rigs. This deadly and extremely effective style of fishing was founded in South Dakota decades ago and has since evolved into a top tournament winning strategy across the Midwest.
Freshwater Hall of Fame Angler and Walleye Tournament Pro Ted Takasaki says, “Every walleye angler, no matter your experience level, should be using these hooks all season and on any body of water. These new Spin Bait hooks can be rigged behind spinner blades, prop blades or used alone with just a simple bead in front of them. It’s probably the most effective and simple way to catch walleye all season long”.
