I haven't found them to be, but i do use fairly big hooks with zigs

I use whittled down proper jobs instead

The MB versions could probably raise the wreckage

If you cant use foam then 100% go for proper jobs. The NS mini's are ideal for PVA bags or topping smaller baits.

He was using a size 10 though. No good on my syndicate as minimum hook size of 6!

Does anyone use the minis in PVA bags? Please share your experience.
I assume that Blow out tube rig is optimal. What hooks do you use?

I use the mini's in PVA bags. They work a treat with a size 5 Fox wide gape hook. Just hovers slightly. Had fish up to 33lbs using them.

In my experience, they aren't (not with a size 8 zig hook anyway).

Pitchers will say they are because they sponsor him.

Just use a bit of foam. Works just as well, if not better and takes the doubt away
