Nishine Lure Works DS HOOK TK Trailer Keeper

Nishine Lure Works DS HOOK TK Trailer Keeper is built for threading soft plastics cleanly and keeping tiny swimbaits pinned where they belong on a dropshot rig. The V-shaped trailer keeper locks the bait in place so your profile stays straight, even after repeated bites and short strikes.

Compared to traditional designs, the unique 90-degree bend is meant to be tied with a Snell Knot for dropshot applications, which holds the hook in a horizontal posture for a more lifelike baitfish imitation. With its extended shank, Nishine Lure Works DS HOOK TK Trailer Keeper gives minnow-style baits room to move on a controlled shake, a slow drag, or a deadstick around rock, sparse grass, and clean bottom in mid-depth to deeper water.
