Royal Hooks ROYAL Extra Wide Gap Hook | Twice Chemically Sharpened | Triple Corrosion Coating | High-Carbon Steel | 6-Pack | 1/0–6/0 | Big Bass

Extra Wide Gap Hook. Twice Chemically Sharpened. Triple Corrosion-Resistance Coating. High-Carbon Custom-Formulated Steel. Specialized Heat Treatment. 6 Per Pack. 1/0–6/0. Built for Big Bass.

The Royal Hooks ROYAL Extra Wide Gap Hook is built for serious bass anglers who want a meaningful upgrade over standard EWG hooks. Where most hooks are chemically sharpened once, the ROYAL EWG is sharpened twice — producing a sharper, more consistent micro-sharp point that slides through soft plastic baits cleanly and penetrates the fish’s jaw with less hookset force. A triple corrosion-resistance coating protects the hook through repeated saltwater and freshwater use. The high-carbon, custom-formulated steel undergoes a specialized heat-treating process that delivers both unyielding strength to hold big fish pinned and the right amount of flex to prevent the fish from throwing the hook. 6 hooks per pack in sizes 1/0 through 6/0.

What Makes the ROYAL EWG Different

• Twice Chemically Sharpened — most hooks go through one chemical sharpening pass; the ROYAL EWG goes through two; the second pass refines the point geometry further, removing any remaining micro-burrs and producing a tip that is consistently sharper than a single-pass hook out of the box; the result is a hook that drives through soft plastic and into a fish’s jaw on contact with minimal resistance — converting short strikes and soft bites that a duller hook would miss
• Triple Corrosion-Resistance Coating — three layers of corrosion protection vs. the single-coat standard on most hooks; the triple coating holds up through extended saltwater exposure, repeated wetting and drying cycles, and high-humidity storage without the rust or pitting that degrades hook points and shank integrity on lesser hooks
• High-Carbon Custom-Formulated Steel + Specialized Heat Treatment — the custom alloy and heat-treat process are calibrated for the specific stress profile of a big-bass EWG hook: maximum tensile strength at the bend (where hook failure occurs on a hard hookset or a sustained fight), combined with controlled flex so the hook absorbs pressure without snapping; a hook that bends before it breaks gives you a visual failure signal rather than a catastrophic loss at the worst moment
• Extra Wide Gap — wider clearance between the hook point and shank than a standard offset worm hook; the extra gap provides more room for the soft plastic bait to compress on the strike and the point to rotate clear of the bait and drive into the jaw; particularly important on thick creature baits, large swimbaits, and bulkier soft plastics where a standard gap can close on the hookset before the point penetrates

Best Applications

• Texas Rig — Heavy Cover — rig a creature bait, craw, or large worm Texas-style weedless; the extra wide gap accommodates bulkier baits while keeping the hook point skin-hooked close to the bait surface for a clean hookset through grass, wood, and dock structure; pair with 17–25 lb fluorocarbon or 50–65 lb braid for heavy cover flipping and pitching
• Punching Mats — use with a tungsten punch weight and compact creature bait to penetrate thick matted vegetation; the EWG gap gives the hook room to rotate and set through a compressed creature bait under the mat; 4/0–6/0 for most punching applications
• Swimbaits — Weedless Rigging — rig larger paddle tails and boot tails weedless through the nose on the EWG; the extra wide gap provides clearance for the swimbait body thickness and keeps the hook point exposed near the surface of the bait for clean hookups on open-water strikes
• Open Water Texas Rig — unpegged Texas rig for deeper structure and open water; the twice-sharpened point converts the light bites that occur when fish follow and softly inhale a falling bait at depth, where hookset sensitivity is critical

Size Guide

• 1/0–2/0 — smaller creature baits and 4–5" worms; medium-cover flipping and open water Texas rig on 12–17 lb fluorocarbon
• 3/0 — most versatile size; 5–6" creatures, craws, and large worms; the standard starting size for heavy cover EWG applications
• 4/0 — large creature baits, big swimbaits, and 7" worms; heavy cover and mat punching on 50+ lb braid
• 5/0–6/0 — oversized creatures, magnum swimbaits, and big worm presentations; trophy bass fishing and maximum mat punching; 6/0 for the heaviest, bulkiest baits in the lineup
