Product benefits

The SURE HOOK VERTICAL W 2 from SMITH is an add-on hook for lures specifically designed to strengthen the effectiveness of your rigs without complicating their use. Engineered as a highly technical SMITH fishing accessory, it increases the number of strikes converted into catches thanks to an additional hooking point optimally positioned beneath the lure.

Robust, reliable and versatile, it meets the needs of demanding predator anglers in both freshwater and appropriate marine environments.

Technical specifications

This vertical hook for lures is designed to offer an excellent compromise between strength, sharpness and ease of installation. Its sturdy metal construction ensures very good resistance to bending and opening, even under heavy load.

Advantages and key strengths

The main asset of the SURE HOOK VERTICAL W 2 lies in its ability to significantly increase hook-up rates on short or underside strikes, when predatory fish attack from below or merely follow the bait. By adding a strategic hooking point, this accessory complements the original rigging without requiring major modifications. It helps maximize each pass through fish-holding areas by reducing drop-offs and missed hookups. For anglers looking to optimize results with a reliable, proven setup, it's a valuable ally.

• Increases hookup rate on tentative or underside strikes.
• Allows quick customization of the rigging on many artificial lures.
• Ideal for targeting educated or wary predatory fish that nip at the lure's nose.
• Compact solution that does not clutter the rig and remains discreet under the lure.

Usage advice

To get the best performance from this add-on hook for lures, mount it on the designated attachment point under the belly or at the rear of the artificial, ensuring overall balance is maintained. Before first use, check the alignment in the water to ensure the lure's action remains natural. Regularly verify the tip sharpness and the condition of the attachment, especially after a strong fight or a snag on the bottom.

This rigging system is suitable for both slow, technical animations and faster retrieves. It is particularly effective during straight-line, trolling or vertical fishing when fish follow without decisively striking. After each outing, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely to prolong the product's lifespan, especially if used in saltwater. Always comply with local regulations regarding the number and types of allowed hooks.
