Ganged hooks.
Has anyone every used them down in Victoria for fishing for snapper or gummies?
I did a stint of a few years living on Fraser Island and ganged hooks were standard up there for fishing pilchards from beach for Tailor etc but also we use to fish the reefs offshore for big reef fish with whole pilchards on ganged hooks.
They work with pilchards perfectly, easy to use and hold the pilchard together and doesn't matter where the fish chomps you get a hook up.
As long as they dont cause bait to spin they would also be perfect in fast flowing water as hold bait nice an firm and hold pilchard straight.
