Product Information
Full details
The PikePro Hook Covers (Small) are designed for pike anglers seeking to optimize their rig presentation and safety. These covers are ideal for anyone using treble hooks ranging from size 6 to 2, providing a clean finish that hides knots and crimps while enhancing hook-up efficiency. While they are highly effective at creating a semi-stiff rig, they require a precise fit to ensure the rubber compound properly slides over the hook shanks without excessive friction.

FAQs
Can I use these on size 1 treble hooks?
These are designed specifically for sizes 6 through 2; a size 1 hook may be too large to fit through the internal diameter.
Do these affect the action of the lure or bait?
They add a small amount of stiffness to the hook connection, which generally improves hooking efficiency without hindering bait movement.
Are these reusable?
Yes, the rubber compound is designed for multiple uses provided it is not damaged during the removal process.
Do I need to glue them in place?
Usually, the friction of the rubber is sufficient to keep them in place, though some anglers prefer a tiny amount of adhesive for permanent setups.
Will these work with fluorocarbon traces?
They are optimized for wire, but can work with thicker fluorocarbon if the knot is small enough to fit inside the cover.
Troubleshooting
Cover is too difficult to slide over the hook eye
Ensure your wire twist is neat and trim any excess wire strands that might be catching; a small drop of water or silicone lubricant can help it slide easier.
Cover slides off during casting
Check that the cover is pushed far enough over the hook eye and shank; if the wire is too thin, you may need to add a small piece of shrink tube or a dab of glue to secure it.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces tangles by covering wire twists and crimps
- Increases hook-up percentage by adding stiffness to the hook shank
- Protects tackle boxes and clothing from sharp treble points
- Durable rubber material resists splitting during repeated use
Cons
- Limited to specific hook size range (6 to 2)
- May require extra effort to thread onto thicker wire gauges
- Not intended for hooks smaller than size 6 or larger than size 2
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply feed your wire trace through the hook cover before attaching your treble hook. Once the hook is secured via a crimp or twisted loop, slide the cover over the connection point until it rests snugly against the shank. Because the material is rubber, you can apply a tiny amount of lubricant if it feels too tight on heavier-duty wire. When not in use, ensure the covers are dried before being packed away in a tackle box to prevent any potential moisture buildup around your wire traces. Regularly inspect the rubber for signs of degradation after long sessions in saltwater or extreme sunlight.
