Of course you dont have to go screwing a corkscrew into the front of your lures because weedless hooks dont actually need you to do this - photo above - but as I said further up, I like how corkscrews (which you can buy separately here) seriously lengthen the life of a soft plastic and also make for very easy lure changes if you have taken the time to prepare and screwed some corkscrews/hitch-hikers in beforehand

Is there any form of structure close to these areas
