In a lot of our applications, we’re placing the hook completely outside of the bait, and we’re calling that Side Saddle. 

Side Saddle rigging gives you the ability to use smaller hooks (you’re not closing the gap with bait), skin-hook the point for a snag-resistant presentation, and precise control over where the Super Baitlock and weight sit and where the line pulls. That control changes how the bait moves and sits in the water, and frees up the hook for a cleaner set on the fish. 

 With a regular jig head or weighted hook you’re locked into the hook size, the amount of weight, and where that weight sits on the bait. Nothing lets you change the weight or the swim action as quickly and economically as the Super Baitlock.

A minnow with the weight centered swims with a natural, balanced action instead of spinning or flopping. A crayfish weighted from the bottom stands upright with its claws raised, looking defensive and alive. You can also create a nose-down fall, a slow glide, or a bait that stays pinned in place while still looking natural. The Super Baitlock locks everything in so the weight and hook stay exactly where you put them.
