Live bait hooks?

For salt water using live shrimp or minnows .I use a 1/0 khale hook. I have been trying to use bronze hooks as they will rust out faster if you break one off.
The 1/0 is a small hook and IMHO allows the bait more movement in the water. |

#3 Khale hook for any live bait that I use in saltwater get's the job done.

treble also useful for fishing areas where you might get hung up, they break loose easier than most circle or khale hooks

Yep. Just give em try. I used Kahle for years with success but once I tried a treble with live shrimp that's all I will use now. But I rarely fish live unless late July and August or unless someone on the boat wants to use them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Just make sure to have pliers handy. You don't miss many fish but gotta unhook everyone with pliers darn near. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My favorite hook for crab (live, whole, cracked, or claw) is a Gamakatsu 7/0 offset J hook.
We've used a lot of hooks over the years, and this one is out favorite. But if you can't find this hook and end up with a Mustad or and Eagle Claw, the important features are 7/0, offset shank, and J hook. You will lose a lot of hookups with a circle hook or a non-offset J. We use this hook also for cut mullet, except for the head. We keep a few bigger offset J hooks in the box (9/0, 11/0) for mullet heads and bigger live baits. The 11/0 is just right for bigger croaker, pinfish, sand trout, and whiting. One of my biggest redfish ever was on a 13" croaker hooked up on an 11/0. Medium croaker and pinfish go well with the 9/0. The "bait" croaker that you can buy are about right on the 7/0. |
