It is a popular choice for targeting hard-fighting species from both boat and shore, particularly when fishing with bulky baits. - Strength: Ultra-strong, heavy gauge Hi-Grade carbon steel construction, with a forged bend for added strength - Shank: Short shank, which helps improve the hook-up rate by moving the bend and point closer to the bait's centre - Gape: Wide gape, allowing for better penetration, especially through tough baits like crab - Point: Curved-in, chemically sharpened point, often referred to as a "swept-in" or "beaked" point, providing excellent holding power - Eye: Straight eye (non-offset) - Offset: Slight offset in the hook point, designed to improve the initial snag and rotation for a better hook-set - Finish: Black nickel finish, providing a dark, anti-corrosive coating for use in saltwater - Application: Ideal for presenting crab and fish baits (squid, mackerel strip) for powerful species - Target Species: Commonly used for Smooth Hounds, Bass, Bream, Wrasse, Cod, and Rays - Available Sizes: Typically available in a wide range of sizes from #4 up to 10/0 - Packaging: Generally sold in packs of 10 hooks
