Thread: Anyone seen these hooks ?

These hooks catch fish themselves. If you strike, you'll just pull the hook out of their mouth. Work best with your rod in the holder.

Thanks for the pic @7mmwsm
Work best with your rod in the holder, and a Waikato in your hand At least that's how I imagine you fishing
I'll keep these in reserve in the event of failure to obtaine Tro Kars or equivalent. Pricing looks good too.
Cheers

I don't actually. Hardly ever drink on the water. Never if I'm the skipper.
If I end up in the crap at sea, I want as much in my favour as possible.
These hooks aren't anything special, they just work and are reasonably priced.
When old Jake the snake (baracouda) is around we might loose 15-20 sets of gear for the day. No point giving Jake flash hooks.

Thanks @7mmwsm
Wasn't trying to suggest anything irresponsible or improper on your part. In my imagiation I saw you in your happy place, enjoying two of your lifes's pleasures, fishing and Waikato. But, I agree, boating and beering are not a good combination.
I think you have the correct and very best approach. I would let you take me fishing anytime

I do `t buy expensive fishing gears since I am a land based fisherman so far, do `t have my sea legs yet but I will. But the conclusion of they are the same as other hooks was not entirely correct, particularly for big fishes or big fight that will need more time to land the fish say over 15 minutes. Because the steel has it `s limit in term of endurance so some may brake, some may bend. The shape of the hook in my humble opinion is designed for targeting specific kind of fishes to fit their mouth, feeding behaviors etc so that to make better set hook.
Anyway, what we are discussing here is only for increasing our chance to catch fish, get more fun. I get the privilege to buy cheaper gears. Thus every time when I heard something new, and is worth to spend some dollars then I buy. There is one time when I arrived in Auckland international airport, I got full suitcase of fishing stuffs. And the custom office did spend sometime to look into it.
