The Kickers from POLE POSITION is a handy tool for quickly tying a hooklength without having to steam heat shrink tubing. You slide the kickers over the hook eye with ease and they immediately give your hook more turning/hooking power. The short version is the perfect combination with medium/long shank hooks, but especially with hook models with a slightly curved shank such as our Pole Position Strongbow. The medium version is the perfect combination with short/medium shank hooks.
