This short shank hook is an excellent choice when targeting larger species such as rays and tope. It is the ideal hook for using softer crab baits and fish baits. Similarly, its compact size allowing for a crab bait to be neatly bound on. A large eye allows for thicker diameter lines to be used when constructing heavier traces. Similarly, it also adds extra security for keeping the bait on the hook. The point is slightly offset and curves inwards towards the shank. So, this helps with hooking fish resulting in less false bites. See More
