what are these red things called? I use them as trailer hook keepers and need to order more? When squeezed with pliers it opens a small hole to slip hook on. Thanks

If the hole is a slit (vc a round opening) they're Carolina Keepers. Gizmo invented to rig a fast and adjustable c-rig. Also comes in clear/colorless. TW, BPS, and other major retailers sell them. Look in the terminal tackle section.

Carolina Keepers is what I've always called them.

That's it!! You guys rock... Thanks!

Actually I was thinking YOU rock - I woulda never thought of using a Carolina Keeper as a trailer hook stop. I've had issues lately w/ the little rubber thingies tearing up on me. You've got a dang good idea here. I have quite a few CKs in my weight box. Haven't used them in years. I will now.

Great idea, you should put it in our tips section

could be worth a prize pack in the next contest.

Will do thanks. Tight lines

I used to just take a hole punch, cut keepers out of plastic coffee can lids, put a cut disc on the spinnerbait hook, put the trailer hook on, then put another plastic disc on the bait hook. They worked as good as anything I could find in a store...

You can also use a product called the Bait button that is really great for this application.
