A long shank hook that features small barbs either side of the shank towards the eye, designed to help keep delicate baits such as worm and crab secure on the hook. The pattern is different from a traditional Aberdeen style hook, the bend of the hook is set at a more sweeping angle, and the hook point faces inwards slightly to help with hooking. Unlike traditional baitholder hooks, our Tronixpro Baitholder does not feature a beaked point; instead, it has the same ultra-sharp, three-point sharpened straight hook point as the other hooks in the range. Baitholder hooks are ideal for fishing for flounders, whiting, dabs, cod, bass, and any other species which are likely to be caught using softer delicate baits.
