Default Re: Wide Gap Hooks-fluke

I've used both Gami Octopus , and Baitholders up to about 7/0.. both work ok.. dont like offsets so much for teaser rigging though...But last year I tried these VMC heavy duty flipping hooks (marketed to LMB guys) and they sweet.. I like the straight shank, and the barbs at the eye keep the gulp on nice without tearing them up as bad as a full baitholder.. wide gape, so a 5/0 gives plenty of bite on a 6" gulp.... A bit pricey.. but Cabela's happens to have them on sale right now..
