The ultimate bait keeper! Flex Keepers slip onto your hook in seconds and keep your bait pegged securely in place, without prematurely tearing the bait like fixed/rigid bait keepers you’re used to.
Flexibility – Rigid bait keepers work great once, but ultimately they tear your baits themselves. Flex Keepers are flexible and collapse when installing a bait over them, reducing the diameter of the hook hole in your bait significantly. The elastic construction allows the keeper to flex with your soft plastic during the bite, the hookset, and the fight. Rigid bait keepers cut into your bait when too much pressure is applied in each of these stages of a fish catch, but the patent pending flexible design of Flex Keepers allows for baits that last longer and catch more fish.
Adjustability – When you purchase a hook with a rigid bait keeper, its position is fixed in one spot on your hook. Flex Keepers open the door to infinite adjustability of your bait keeper’s position on your hook. Slide your Flex Keeper up until it is snug under the “chin” of your bait on straight-shank flipping hooks. Position the Flex Keeper right above, on, or under the turn of your offset or EWG hooks and jigheads. Flex Keepers give you the ability to customize your hook keeper positioning to your exact bait.
Flex Keepers work best with hook wire diameters between 0.9mm to 1.6mm. That covers just about anything from finesse hooks up to 5/0 flipping, offset worm, and EWG (ExtraWideGap) hooks that you may find in bass and most other freshwater fishing.
Package contains fifty (50) Flex Keepers.
Manufactured and warrantied by Harmony Fishing Company. Proudly assembled in the USA! Patent Pending.

FAQs:
Can I use Flex Keepers on any fishing hook?
Just about! Flex Keepers are designed to work best on hooks with a wire diameter between 0.9mm to 1.6mm. That covers just about any straight shank, offset, or EWG hook that you may run into for bass fishing, as well as many hooks used in other freshwater and even inshore saltwater fishing. We’ve tested and continue to use Flex Keepers on hooks as small and light-wire as our #1 EWGs and our Tungsten Offset Ned Rigs – all the way up to our heavier-wire 5/0 EWGs and flipping hooks.
Do you install the Flex Keeper or the soft plastic bait first?
Install the Flex Keeper on your bare hook first. Then rig your soft plastic on your bait just like you would any other hook. Flex Keepers are flexible and your bait will slide right over them, just like bait keepers you’re used to using on flipping hooks. The main difference is that Flex Keepers are flexible and allow your bait to slide over them without tearing them up like a rigid bait keeper.
How long do Flex Keepers last? Are they reusable?
Once you install a Flex Keeper on your hook, it grabs hold of your hook solidly and you can use that hook with the newly installed keeper over and over again. When your soft plastic bait eventually wears out, pull the bait off and install another bait right over the Flex Keeper. The Flex Keeper basically becomes part of your hook once it’s installed.
If you do want to remove a Flex Keeper from your hook, grab it firmly in your fingertips and slide it back down the hook shaft. Using needle-nose pliers, stretch the Flex Keeper over the barb and off the hook. Often you can reuse that Flex Keeper, but on hooks with oversize barbs, it may tear slightly and not grip as firmly when installed on another hook. Luckily, they’re sold in a 50-pack, so one pack lasts most anglers through 100+ days on the water.
