38 degree bend, 5.0 hook with a bait keeper. Keeps Kermit from tearing off the hook, when the bass strikes. The 5 will allow the hook to go between the frog's legs and rest on the back fully exposed. Not good for really grassy areas, but good for hook up ratios and saves the frog a little more.

4/0 twistlock works great. Also perfect for 5" Watzit.

CCM sells them.

I get the Mustad jig hooks and the screw keepers from Barlows and make my own for alot cheaper.
