What are you fishing for? The hook looks really small
Gummies, school shark pretty much what ever Westernport offers up it’s a size 6/0 I think, been using them for awhile and seem to work no stress

Ducky did the experiment. That's the proof of the pudding. Most guys just relay what they have been told. You know how superstitious some fishos can get..

Could very well be, I often take a banana out with me in my lunch box and it sure hasn’t slowed my fishing down :rofl:

Doesn’t bother me and the missus either.
The last few outings we took a few and still caught plenty :)
