    Anyone seen these hooks ?

    I'm looking for these hooks I prefer for Snapper fishing. The hook in the pic is a different size to the label but I use size 6 and 8 hooks. I have just about run out and want to buy more. Can anybody point me to a potetential or actual supplier with stock ? I'm not sure why any shops I've recently checked don't have them anymore.
    Otherwise, if anybody wants to suggest an equivalent, I'm all ears.
    Many thanks

    My son uses 5/0 Occi on snaps and does very well with them including using them on a charter last week end where he got the most fish.

    Those are all pretty good at snagging fishermens money.
    I buy bulk boxes of square long line hooks. They work fine. And I'm guessing about a quarter of the price.

    And the long liners wouldn't use them if they didn't work.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Any chance you could post a pic of this hook please ?

    Have a look at the Decoro website, they are showing the Lancet as out of stock but have a lot of similar looking options that do the same job. When I was running the charter boat I got a lot of them, they are pretty good.

    Also got a lot of cheap crap off the Warehouse, and to be brutally honest the cheaper circle hooks used to be roughly as efficient with the average charter punter as the thinner gauge wire allowed them to role in easier. We basically used to used them once and if the punters didn't flog them they became owner's junket tackle when we went play fishing rather than cracking into new gear.

    These hooks catch fish themselves. If you strike, you'll just pull the hook out of their mouth. Work best with your rod in the holder.
