Product Information

The key feature of a beaked or octopus hook is the turned up or ‘offset’ eye. This means that when snelling hooks to your line, the hook point stays perfectly parallel to your line. Snelling is when you tie on a hook to your line by wrapping your line around the shank of the hook, rather than tying a knot. You can also just push your line through the top eyelet, then secure the line to the shank of the hook with some thin silicon tubing. Some people won’t attach the top hook on a pennel rig at all and it will be free running on the line. Useful for anglers that are not using worm baits and perhaps prefer not to use baiting elastic to hold baits to the hook. Mustad Baitholder Hooks, available here Gape:The gape is the gap between the point and the shank. Larger gape hooks are needed for big baits or for fishing weedlessly. This is not a type of hook but people refer to them as ‘pennel hooks’ anyway so they’re included. On a pennel rig, it’s common to use two different types of hooks on the same bait. This means that whether a fish takes the top of a bait or the bottom, you still hook up. Some anglers use two hooks on the same size and type, but others will use, say, an Aberdeen hook on the bottom, and a beaked or octopus hook on the top. It’s a personal preference, the main thing is to ensure that your hook sizes are appropriate for the size of your bait. The bait can still travel up the hook but doesn’t travel down. These can cause more damage to fish you catch so they’re better for anglers that plan on eating their catch and are not ideal for general catch and release fishing.
