Default Re: Swordfish hook help

No circles for swords. You're better off hooking them deep with #300 leader and a J hook. Their mouths are soft. A circle will wear down and tear out on a good fish.

We use 11/0 or 12/0 jobu hooks depending on bait size, 3x. And light-ish drag in case its mouth hooked. Get yourself some LP disco lights. Theyre cheap. At 350', the pressure will likely crack a glow stick rendering it useless.

Then again, w 4 takes in one night perhaps I should be getting advice from you hahaha...

12/0, straight eye, offset, long liner hook. Always a nice deep hook set.

Think I bought em at fisherman’s supply a while back so check there.
