question for the eel guys

[Fishpart]

I like the Mustad 9175 6/0 Short Shank Live bait. I believe it is the one with the straight point. I think they hook up better than the one with the curved point....

Of course they need sharpening...

Same here. They're still your best bang for the buck at about 10-12 cents per hook if you buy them by the 100 count.

Me too. Plus, I don't want to have to stop and think about how to set a hook at 3 AM.

And they still hardly even come unbuttoned with J-hooks, when there's an eel attached to one.

Gamu LB HD 5/0-7/0 depending on size of eels. Bent more than a few of the Gamu Octopus with just mono.

I use the gami live baits 6/0 or 7/0 depending where.
