Guess I am the only one that still goes old school with Mustad 4011e size 4 Virginia style hook

Re: Blackfish hooks
 

Gami 3/0 or 4/0 octopus. I prefer a slightly smaller hook as I think it's easier to hook the crab while hiding the hook. Would use 5/0 only if I was hog hunting. Either way you fish with what your confident in. Always a head game with blackfish;-)

Will be wherever the Hi Mar boys put me

Re: Blackfish hooks
 

though not as easy to find... I favor Daiichi black chrome 3/0- 5/0 octopus. Bullet proof points and super strong shank.

Thats what I like/use as well... Maybe thats why i don't catch as many tog as the "pros" do.... bob
