    Those work on certain swimbaits, but not on the softer ones, in my experience.

    Nice thing about those Freedom heads, and the Berkley ones too, is that you can change the hooks to a different style, if you like.

    I bought them years ago and have yet to find the "perfect" use for them, for me. Like you say the work on some baits but i haven't been able to have consistent success on anything that they work with lol

    The firmer swimbaits, like Berkley and Cabelas brands. Keitech are too soft. The swimghead steals the action from the tail.

    They could work flippin that Champ Craw, but I'd change out the worm hook.
