Spro Heavy Duty Stinger 8cm 1 7x7

Spro Heavy Duty Stinger 7x7 – Fewer Missed Strikes on Soft Baits

The Spro Heavy Duty Stinger is a ready-rigged stinger hook designed to reduce missed bites when fishing with soft plastic lures. This size 1 variant ships at a transport length of 8 cm and is supplied as a pack of 2.

Supple, Low-Memory Wire for Natural Presentation

The stinger is built on a 7x7 (49-strand) stainless-steel wire — the same 4 lbs American Fishing Wire grade used in demanding predator applications. The multi-strand construction stays flexible and virtually crease-free even after repeated use, so the hook tail moves naturally with the soft bait rather than fighting it.

Sharp, Reliable Gamakatsu 13B Treble Hook

At the business end sits a Gamakatsu 13B treble hook — a size 1 unit chosen to match mid-sized shad and paddle-tail lures. The hook is needle-sharp out of the pack and holds its point well through multiple fish. The stinger eye loops cleanly over the main hook eye, and the built-in snap locks it securely in place so it won't slide down under pressure.

Choose the Right Variant

The Spro Heavy Duty Stinger 7x7 18 kg range covers several combinations of hook size, wire length, and hook type. Match the variant to the size of your soft bait and target species:

• Size 1 / 8 cm / Treble (Drilling) — current product (168302); compact stinger for mid-sized shads, ideal for perch, asp, and zander with lures up to roughly 10 cm

• Size 1 / 10 cm / Treble (Drilling) — slightly longer drop, suits the same lure range where extra reach helps

• Size 1 / 12 cm / 7x7 Treble — longest size-1 option, good for deep-bodied shads or when the bite point is set well back

• Size 2 / 8 cm / Treble (Drilling) — larger hook in a short length, for bigger soft baits targeting pike and large perch

• Size 2 / 10 cm / Gamakatsu 13B Treble — mid-length, size-2 hook for pike-sized shads in the 12–16 cm class

• Size 2 / 12 cm / Gamakatsu 13B Treble — longest size-2 version, best for large paddle tails and elongated shads

• Size 4 / 6 cm / Gamakatsu 13B Treble — smallest hook in a short stinger; perfect for finesse perch rigs with 5–8 cm lures

• Size 4 / 7 cm / Treble (Drilling) — compact size-4 alternative with a touch more length

• Size 4 / 8 cm / Gamakatsu 13B Treble — size-4 hook on a standard-length wire; versatile light-predator option
