About this product
Hooks are consumables and small bait hooks are the most consumable of all. You cut them off a tangle, you leave them in rock, you give them away, and if you fish bait regularly you will get through hundreds in a season. Buying five hundred at once, sorted into a compartment box, costs a fraction of buying them a packet at a time.
The pattern is Ise-ni, the Japanese bait-hook shape: short in the shank with a slightly reversed point, which is the geometry that sits neatly inside a small bait and finds the corner of the jaw as a fish moves off. It is one of the most widely used bait-hook shapes in the world.
These are eyed rather than spade-end, which matters if you tie your own rigs – a ring eye takes any ordinary knot, where a spade end needs a whipping knot and a steadier hand. The steel is high carbon, chemically sharpened, with a corrosion-resistant finish.
Sizes run 6 to 15 on the Japanese scale, which covers small to medium bait fishing. Around Dar es Salaam that is jetty, creek and beach fishing for mullet, grunter, small snapper, emperor and bream, and inland it covers tilapia, catfish and most freshwater bait fishing.
