Think they would be perfect. Strong and low profile.

I prefer them over the octopus for a few reasons:
I was with McKenna on Cutty when he straightened a few out on fish - reason #1. They provide a straighter body rigging - reason #2. I bought a box of 1,000 7/0 Eagle Claw live bait hooks a few years back for eeling - reason #3.

i just envision a much more streamlined look to the bait. and no matter how meticulous you are in the rigging process, i find after a few nights in your surf bag the larger hooks tend to twist all around making the sluggo need "straightened" before you use it. im going to try them and compare. thanks for input, toby!
