The BKK Raptor-X Treble hooks are designed for situations where extreme strength is not necessary. These hooks are inspired by the strength and versatility of the Raptor-Z, but with a lighter wire construction. They feature Hand Ground point processing technology, which makes it easier for the hook to penetrate the fish and increases the hookup rate compared to the Raptor-Z.
The hook gap and shank sizing of the Raptor-X are optimized to provide maximum holding power. The hook point is slightly straightened to improve the hookup percentages. The thinner wire diameter of the Raptor-X makes it suitable for smaller lures without affecting their swimming action.
BKK has given these treble hooks a bright tin coating that enhances their corrosion resistance in saltwater environments. The Raptor-X is suitable for a variety of fishing applications, including inshore and light offshore fishing for striped bass, yellowtail, and small tuna. It can also be used for freshwater fishing for pike, musky, and trophy largemouth bass lures.
