Whiting Hooks
Interested to hear what type and size hooks other fishos are using for their whiting.
I tried out some Gamakatsu shiners size 6 which were recommended but didn’t think we got a a great hook up rate.
I’m thinking of going back to long shank style but all the ones I’ve used in the past bend and break when trying to free them from the mouths of flathead and toadies and it becomes a pain attaching new hooks all the time. Any recommendations here?
Cheers

I meant how does Snelling the hook help with hook ups as opposed to a standard uni knot or similar?Scraglor wrote:By telling him a way to present them to increase his hookup rate?yepi'mon wrote:How does this help?shazdoggg wrote:Black magic KL are great but make sure you snell them to increase your hook up ratio!
