Decoy T-S21 T-Shaped Treble Hooks – Belly Hooks for Xorus Lures

The Decoy T-S21 T-Shaped Treble Hook is a cleverly designed lightweight treble, specifically suited to use as the belly hook on hard fishing lures.

Unlike a conventional treble, the T-S21 features a distinctive T-shaped hook arrangement, designed to improve the positioning and exposure of the hook points beneath the lure.

This makes it particularly useful when targeting bass with surface plugs, shallow diving minnows and other hard lures, where fish often attack from underneath or strike at the middle of the lure.

The T-S21 is commonly used alongside the Decoy Y-S21 treble hook, combining a specialised belly hook with a conventional rear treble.

Why Use a T-Shaped Belly Hook?

The clever design of the T-S21 is all about hook positioning.

When fitted beneath a hard lure, the T-shaped arrangement helps present the hook points in a position where they can catch hold when a fish attacks.

This can be particularly useful with surface lures, where bass frequently slash at, roll over or attack a lure without always taking it cleanly into their mouths.

The T-S21 offers the same sort of lightweight construction that makes Decoy hooks so popular with bass anglers, helping preserve the balance and swimming action of carefully designed hard lures.

It's a simple but effective hook design that has become a familiar feature on some of the most popular Xorus bass lures.

Mick's Tip

I've stocked Decoy hooks for many years, and the T-S21 is one of those clever little designs that really deserves its place in a bass angler's tackle box.

The T-shaped arrangement is designed to improve hook-point positioning beneath a lure, particularly useful when bass are attacking surface plugs but not always taking them cleanly.

You'll find these fitted as belly hooks on several popular Xorus lures, including the Patchinko and Asturie ranges.

I recommend keeping the original T-S21 pattern when replacing the belly hooks on these lures, rather than automatically fitting a conventional treble.

And don't forget, hook weight matters. Changing to a much heavier hook can alter the balance and action of smaller surface lures, so it's worth matching the original size and pattern wherever possible.
