Thread: Anyone seen these hooks ?

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.

Thanks. Emailed an enquiry to Decoro tonight.
Cheers

@Muttonguts
Thanks for the link but it looks like you're right, size 3 only. I might be getting warmer elsewhere with a few pointers from other members.
Cheers

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.

Thanks for the pic @7mmwsm
Work best with your rod in the holder, and a Waikato in your hand At least that's how I imagine you fishing
I'll keep these in reserve in the event of failure to obtaine Tro Kars or equivalent. Pricing looks good too.
Cheers

.3006,
That just a std circle hook is it not?

Yes, basically, although circle hooks do vary in the bottom shape apparently.
Also, I particularly like the offset angle of the point and barb which most circle hooks don't have. I think the offset increases the hook ups by mouth quite a bit.

I don't actually. Hardly ever drink on the water. Never if I'm the skipper.
If I end up in the crap at sea, I want as much in my favour as possible.
These hooks aren't anything special, they just work and are reasonably priced.
When old Jake the snake (baracouda) is around we might loose 15-20 sets of gear for the day. No point giving Jake flash hooks.
