My buddy turned me on to them a couple years ago on block. I was using 5 or 6/0 circles and i was not getting a bite while he was hooking up every 5 casts or so. We were about 10 feet from each other. All things being equal i asked what hook he was using, those things are miniature compared to circles. I tied one on then was fish for fish with him. Im a believer now, when i am casting from shore not in an inlet or the canal that is what i use and they rock.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Question for you guys using the gami live bait hooks, are you guys using the HD hooks? I've been using the gami live bait hooks in 5/0 size seem to be missing a few strikes should I step up to a 6/0?

I go a size up when I find the live bait vs the HD live bait they seem to have a smaller gap then the HD I like 6/0 HD and 7/0 regular live bait.
