sweet hook. I like the hooks that slightly curve upward like that one. I think it keeps you from snagging the bottom at times. Not all the time, but some times. Another thing about hooks and sluggos is that you want the shortest shank possible. if you have a long shank, the sluggo will loose much of its action.. especially if that hook is in the rear of the sluggo.

In a pinch last year i used some VMC siwash hooks that i use for my plugs to rig sluggos and the long shanks just killed the action. ALso they are heavy.

little weight, short shank, sharp out of the package, a large eye on the end of the hook and a good barb is what i look for in a rigging hook.

What's the number and size of that Mustad Eel hook the #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& likes?
My distributor does not carry any Mirabu, VMC, Mustad Tarpon, Owner AKI - pretty much everything I want they don't sell.
This is a pain-in-the-butt industry, you have to order most everything that is good, direct.

I think he said 94150 6/0 used to be called a bait now all around?

Maybe

Its a bronzed O`Shaugnessy

point bent in, ringed, extra short shank

not a good longer term hook for rigged items because of rust but then again how much use will you get out of one Slug-Go if you are catching.

one place its listed as a school tuna hook in the 4/0 to 9/0 range

IND- I rigged about 20 sluggos with that hook it works fine. Just sharpen them. Inexpensive too.
