Hayabusa Fishing’s Bulky Stage is the lil’ brother of the Hayabusa Bulky Stage Muscle Gap hook. This hook features a strong gauge wire – has minimal flex providing excellent hooking power. The wide gap bend of the hook and slightly curved-in hook point provide excellent hook-up capabilities and help prevent bass from escaping. Designed for use with large shad-style baits, the wide gap easily accommodates bulkier soft baits.
