Hooks

What brand Nell. 3/0 in long Mustad are 34011. I don't know if they are 4x. Gamagatsu generally advertises what x strength each model hook is. Some of the same model come in various x ratings.

When I need really long hooks I use Eagle Claw #066 and straighten the offset. They are listed as 2x long, but that is relative to the manufacturer. They are much, much longer than the 34011 and are comparable in proportion to freshwater 4X-6X long hooks and the Mustad 4x long kink shanked hooks.

Best regards,
Roger
