Best hook available for live baitI once asked a bait shop employee to recommend the best hook for shiners and this is what he recommended. Over the years, I have found them to be the best. On occasion, I was forced to use other somewhat similar hooks and was not at all satisfied. Initially, I complained about the price but have come to believe that they are well worth the price. I generally use #5 or #6 for small to medium shiners with great success. Highly recommend.

Perfect for meI use the #6 size with nightcrawlers on my light spinning slip float rig to catch catfish, bass or whatever else is hungry. Bitingly sharp point, and the fine wire penetrates easily and holds tight. Been through a lot of other brands and styles trying to figure it out and this set up is awesome. Very confidence inspiring.

Great Fluke HookI've tried every style hook including Circle for head boat fluke fishing using minnow/squid combo.Minnow is livelier with the smaller wire, squid strip doesn't spin and twist line,and hookups
are good. I settled on size 3/0 .They also seem to stay sharp. A bit pricey compared to other hooks but worth the difference.

Very Good Shiner HooksJust got back from bass fishing the Big O in Florida. Used these hooks in the largest size for shiner fishing, no problems and they set well.
Have been a Gamakatsu fan for a long time now and these are the same great quality.
Get some Gammy hooks and you'll see what I mean.

VersitileI use these for Catfish, Crappie and Bass of all types.
For minnows use the smaller sizes, 6 - 1 depending on the size of the minnows.
I also use these with shrimp, 1/0 - 3/0. Also excellent on trot lines if your state allows.
Like all Gamakatsu hooks, they remain sharp after many fish, don't rust and are surprisingly strong for their size.

Great hooksHighly recommend these for live bait. The thin wire and elongated J shape extends the life of your shine and lets him swim much more freely than a traditional bait hook.
One very important note however, is that these hooks are the SE (straight eye) model. Gamakatsu also makes a UE (upturned eye) model which is what their "wicked wacky" hook is based off of. Both the UE and Wicked Wacky hooks are better suited for wacky and drop shot rigging lures.
