The KL1/0's are a dynamite Whiting hook.

I too have noticed the rusting issue. However, due to the versatility of the 1/0 KL on a range of species i'll keep going back to it.hornet wrote:I've had trouble with KL's rusting in my tackle box compartment, even if I don't re-use them and put them back with the others at the end of the fishing session, the un-used ones still show signs of rust beginning. Killer whiting hook tho !
Anyone found this also ?
I disagree, it depends on the carbon vs stainless content of the hook, KL's are obviously very high carbon low stainless.Sinsemilla wrote:All hooks will rust if they are rubbing against each other in a salt water environment. I usually only keep a few hooks in a little zip lock bag in my tackle box and leave the rest at home untill i need them. the ones ive used i put in a little tub and give them a rinse at home with the gear if they are still in good nick.
Circle hooks are they way to go i reckon. especially kl 1/0s for whiting/flathead. just a slow lift as the rod loads up. hardly miss a fish.
This season i got a 48cm whiting at portland with a 5/0 owner circle with a piece of squid. It's all about the slow lift. Once i feel the weight or bite ill give the fish a foot or so by dropping the rod tip then slowly load the rod up. once you master it you will hook most fish that touch the bait
Yep, I don't buy those ones anymore. I use size 6 Owner Mutu circles for whiting now, I can get a 50 pack on eBay for about $20 and they last several trips as long as the LJs don't bite them off.hornet wrote:I've had trouble with KL's rusting in my tackle box compartment, even if I don't re-use them and put them back with the others at the end of the fishing session, the un-used ones still show signs of rust beginning.
