A strong hook pattern ideal for shore fishing for larger species and when boat fishing. Featuring a wide gape and a shorter, medium hook shank that makes it ideal for big worm baits when cod fishing and for large fish baits when targeting large species such as rays and smaller conger. The wide gape helps mount bulkier baits such as crab when fishing for smoothhound or bass. This hook pattern is also popular for anglers fishing pennel rigs.
