    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.

    Hi @7mmwsm
    Any chance you could post a pic of this hook please ?
    Also, where do you get 'em ?
    And you're right. Those Tro Kar hooks have been brilliant at snagging my money !

    Great for live bait hooks when chasing kingys, hook a jack mack through the nostrils and you're away

    Thanks. Found a Kahle hook with "Owner" branding. I'll see if I can find some next time I'm looking again. I think these are made in Japan and have quite decently sharp points. Kahle shape looks very much like the Tro Kar.

    I use quite big ones on snapper quite often land based and from boat no sinker just blood knot about 20 feet of 60lb trace and tie hook on - I got a packet of very small kahles from a shop closing down mustad brand real good on maomao and when bait fishing for mackrel - as many have said dont strike just let rod load up
