BKK Spear EWG-71 SS Treble Hooks

The BKK Spear EWG-71 SS Treble Hooks combine a short shank, Extra Wide Gap profile and inward-facing points to give crankbait anglers secure hook-ups while helping preserve the lure's natural swimming action.

The BKK Spear EWG-71 SS is a 1X-strength treble hook specifically designed for crankbaits. Its shorter shank allows the hook to sit closer to the lure body, helping minimise interference with the lure's action while also reducing the chance of snagging compared with a longer-shank configuration.

An Extra Wide Gap design and inward-facing straight points are designed to reduce the chance of pulled hooks once a fish is connected. BKK's Super Slide coating promotes smooth penetration while helping maintain hook sharpness over time, making the Spear EWG-71 SS a practical replacement or upgrade treble for crankbait fishing.

Expert Advice

When replacing trebles on a crankbait, start with a BKK Spear EWG-71 SS size that closely matches the original hook because changing hook size can alter the lure's balance and swimming action. The short shank can also be useful where you want the hooks sitting tighter against the lure body. After fitting replacement trebles, test the crankbait beside the boat or bank to confirm it still swims and suspends or floats as intended.
