 Mustad 9175 - 3X strong "tail" hooks and rigging hooksThese are closed eyed hooks, short shank. Very strong hooks that hold an excellent point. They make great tail hooks for rigging eels - rubber or real eels. They also make great replacement hooks for the rear of plugs - either plain or with bucktail or even hackles. These are the same hooks that Gibbs uses on the rear of their plugs that feature a single tail hook. These are also hooks I use in rigging big eels RI style :-) | |
| Model 7794B 3X Replacement Treble Hooks - | |
| Model 35517 3X Open Eye Replacement Treble Hooks - Open eyed 3X strong trebles. These are the hooks that come standard on most quality wooden lures. Excellent for all manner of plugs that don't have split rings. Very strong hooks that hold an excellent point when sharpened. They require pliers to close them on the swivel or hook hanger and when closed properly are very strong! Great for changing hooks on plugs that don't have the size you prefer when you get them. | |
| Eagle Claw 774BKU 4X Black Trebles - Very high quality 4X treble hooks. They don't rust easily, they don't need sharpening, they are a pearl black in color and are super strong. Best part, they cost 1/4 what the other 4X alternatives cost! I replaced every treble hook on most of my smaller plugs with these and haven't looked back. After fishing the entire fall, catching loads fish on them, not one bent hook nor one complaint. At the end of the season, not one bit of rust on even one of the hooks! | |
| Sampo/Rosco Duolock Snaps - | |
| Sampo/Rosco Barrel Swivels - Again, black only unless popular demand dictates otherwise. Same reasoning as the snaps above, don't need shiny stuff near your terminal tackle. Number 5 and number 7 swivels, 12 per pack. #5's are rated at 90 pounds and the #7's are rated at 75 pounds. | |
| SPRO Swivels - just added the 130#! The tiniest swivels of substantial strength that we've ever seen. The 80#, size 6 swivel is 3/8" long and 1/8" at it's thickest point...absolutely amazing that this little thing is rated at 80# breaking strength. If you ever wanted to really minimize your hardware but without giving up any strength, these are the answer. Stealth black finish, too! :-) | |
| Berkley Cross-Lok Snaps - Added size 9 snaps! Again, black only unless popular demand dictates otherwise. By design, they won't open on a straight pull and are made of very solid wire. Stronger by size than Duolock Snaps. And it says right on the package "Catch more fish" so I guess we gotta carry them! ;-) These snaps are rated stronger for their physical size than most others, the 60# strength #3 is smaller than the 40# Duolock Snaps. |
Extra Heavy Split Rings and Split Ring Pliers
| Extra Heavy Stainless Steel Split Rings - |
These are the best split ring pliers we can find, made by Sampo. They are the same ones you can buy from Cabelas for over $20. I've changed the hooks on hundreds and hundreds of plugs and am still on my original pair. I've found them so necessary with the x-heavy split rings that I now carry a pair in my fishing vest so I can quickly change hooks while fishing. Get a pair, they'll last forever. |
| Mustad Hooks Model 34007 -Forged, ringed, stainless steel. These are the most popular, affordable stainless steel hooks for tying flies and teasers. For saltwater teaser, generally size 1/0-4/0, exceptions on both ends. For flies, it depends on a few things. Bait size, total fly length, size of the potential fish, and the line weight all come to mind...there are others! Most saltwater flies are tied on sizes 1 through 3/0, again, exceptions on both ends. I've tied them and caught stripers on all sizes from 8 to 6/0...I've never tied on the 7/0, it's a monster! | |
| Model 34011 - |
| Gamakatsu HD Live Bait Hooks - use 4/0 for small eels, 5/0 for medium eels and 6/0 for large eels These are the tail hooks we'd recommend for rigging real eels. They are used in the tail portion of the rigging process when rigging them with tin squids. They are also excellent hooks for fishing live eels and live lining any type of live bait like herring, bunker, mackerel, or mullet. The hooks are black, extremely strong, and dangerously sharp. |
