What's your "Go to" Live bait hook.

[hooked_on_trout]

I am finding I reach for these more often when live baiting mullet, herring or prawns.

Just wondering what others are using.

Gamakatsu Nautilus circle hook 4/0.

Cheers

yeah I tend to find that live prawns and poddy mullet work best, Ive used herring but Ive never caught anything real big besides big bream.

btw gangster hooks btw

Nautilus isn't a bad hook but I usually use gmakatsu octopus circles 6/0-8/0. I like the lighter guage as it penetrates easier. Still plenty strong.

i use the octopus circles by gamakatsu as well.

i use the same as dhess and have caught flathead, snapper, threadies, jew, marlin, sailfish and dolphin fish on livies with these hooks but normally go a 4/0 or 5/0 with the smaller livies

I use Owner Mutu Circle hooks, they seem to keep livies on ok, not a bad price either.

a sharp one! :silly: depends on what i am chasing . sometimes 2 small 1/0 octapus hooks for lighter baits for bream flathead, then i use 3/0-4/0 octapus hooks on snelled rig for jacks snapper large flathead. 6/0-8/0 octapus circles for the bigger predators like sharks threadfin. but all one brand usually gamaktsu.

Yeah Gamakatsu are expensive, I was checking out the Shogun range at tackle warehouse and they come at a cheaper price, but they only had large sizes.
