Daiichi 2720 Wide Gape Stinger Hook – Bronze Finish
This unique hook was designed by a bass fisherman who wanted a better hook to use on his poppers. The wide-gape bend is very effective at holding bass once they are hooked because the spear of the hook angles back towards the eye of the hook. This bend shape allows the popper or fly manufacturer to attach a small loop of stiff nylon monofilament at the bottom of the bend and just behind the eye to form an effective weed guard.
Perfect for bass and panfish poppers, as well as deer hair bass flies.

Used this hook with deer hair bugs and caught several bass in clear water. The wide gape holds well and the weed guard works great in thick vegetation. Solid performance and reliable.
Richard Bailey –
Great for popper fishing. The hook stays secure even when fish struggle. The bronze finish looks professional and the weed guard attachment is easy to do.
Charles Harris –
Works well with frogs and divers. The bend holds fish firmly, though it’s a bit more delicate than standard hooks. Still worth the use for targeted bass fishing.

Highly recommended for bass and panfish poppers. The design prevents fish from slipping and the weed guard keeps the hook clear of weeds during use.
