Change of Hooks
Lately the Mustad 92608 Size 4 Whiting hooks ive been using bend easily or break-Seems to be not as strong as was once.
Ive swapped for a while to DAIICHI Lond Shank Size 4 .Very sharp and they havent broken or bent yet
Have caught about 200 Whiting with the new guys
Any body use the DAIICHI guys?

Re: Change of Hooks
Are long shank hooks the best for whiting?

Re: Change of Hooks
I was thinking that whilst I wrote it...everyone except Dennis loves their Shiners! (& those whiting flasher rigs are terrible as well)

Re: Change of Hooks
Use both.
Use the shiners or black magic kl1/0 on for the sleeper rods.
The rod you use to slowly retrieve /strike on use long shank.
To many boats kayak, helicopter , catch a fish,catch a fish

Re: Change of Hooks
I can't fish with these lockdowns
I've forgotten what hooks I use....
If I ever get out again I hope I remember how to launch my boat let alone what hooks I use
