<h2>About the Final Keeper</h2><p>These small accessories need little introduction, yet they can make a real difference and protect your <strong>tournament-grade soft plastics</strong>. Softer baits in particular - especially those with a high salt content - are prone to tearing quickly due to their flexibility, making them unfishable. The Final Keeper solves this problem and keeps your more expensive soft plastics in action far longer.</p><h3>How to Use a Final Keeper</h3><p>You simply push it into the nose area of the soft lure, where its plastic anchors grip the material securely. From there, you can either rig an <strong>offset hook</strong> in the normal way or go with a <em>nose-hook</em> set-up. With the nose-hook approach, just make sure the hook point is guided through the small opening in the Final Keeper. This distributes the force acting on the hook across the Final Keeper, so the lure almost never tears. Even drop shot lures flying off during the fight become a thing of the past with the Final Keeper. You can fish a lure many times longer than you would without one - well worth having in your tackle box.</p>
