Basstar is happy to be part of The Freshwater Lure Selector. A new application that is designed to be a reference for whatever you may already have in your own tackle box. Choose the best lure according to the two most important factors: water depth and water clarity. Light conditions are the third most important factor, and there’s a good rule of thumb that applies to most of the criteria used for the Lure Selector: Use bright colors on bright days, and darker colors on overcast days. With the Lure Selector you can visit our website and be directed to where our lures can be purchased.

SpinTech Treble Hooks

Fish on! you cry. The
rod is bouncing.

Oh no, you think. The
line went slack.

What happened?

You reel up and check.

The hook’s still there.

Spit hook.

Bummer.

Nothing you can do
about that.

Or is there?

SpinTech Treble Hooks, from the BassStar Bait Company, are built to reduce the chances of the fish throwing the hook.

The treble hooks are the world’s first that spin, the company says.

Typical treble hooks experience leverage and torque that can pry the hook out of the fish’s mouth, it says.

The SpinTech’s rotation is meant to eliminate the locking problem, repositioning with the changing fight, providing more fluid control over
the fish.

The pin that the line is tied to drops directly down the center of the
treble hook, remaining balanced, promoting maximum performance, BassStar says.

SpinTech Treble Hooks are available for both freshwater and saltwater fishing in a standard metallic finish or a red finish.

The hooks are available in sizes 6, 4, 2, 1, 1/0,2/0 and 3/0, and more sizes are planned.

Fish on! you cry.

Now the fish is more likely to stay on.

Hope all is well! I’m really impressed with the spintech hooks! I never lost a fish on them during the tournament . Here is a pic of the windshield on the boat. Also I did a blog on the hooks with the guys from Bass East.

“i caught this 43 1/2” 20lb. tiger musky on a strike king red eye shad i replaced the rear treble with a spintech treble and as you can see in the close up you can see the front treble is gone but the spintech held on, it was a 40 minute fight on 10lb. fluorocarbon. i think the spintech is the only reason i landed that fish.”
