Topwater plugs Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Greetings to all. This is my ffirst post. I am looking for a source of large(6/0-9/0) saltwater treble hooks. I can find these sizes in freshwater hooks quite easily but the saltwater hooks are only available up to 5/0. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

bassnbrad Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Are these large enough? Giant Treble Hooks Sizes 16/0, 20/0 The picture above shows the 20/0 compared to a regular size 2 hook which is the size used on 1/2oz. crankbaits. Very heavy hook with a bronze finish. Just kiddin'.... Here are some 7/0's... http://www.fishforless.com/Treble_Hooks-Treble_Hook_3X_Strong_Bronze_size_7_0_25Pk.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EA I presume you will be targeting inshore/offshore pelagics with these hooks? What amount of drag will anglers who use your lures be fishing? I have guys fishing huge drags and most hooks can't handle it... ( 40lb + + + of drag ) Owner ST-66 in 5/0 Owner ST-76 in 5/0 (The Owner range is larger than a typical 5/0 say from Mustad.) Also available in barbless . Fisherman KG120 - 6/0 ( Strong hook, good for 120kg ) Decoy Y-W77 6/0-8/0 Gamakatsu GT Recorder 5/0 - 8/0 ( In the 8/0 size you will get 7 hooks for $64.95 ) Have you thought about using singles or inline singles on your lures? The Owner JOBU Big game hook is a great single and available up to 12/0... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topwater plugs Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Actually, the need for these larger hooks is for a few larger than average diameter surf lures; about 1.75". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casting at Stripers? I would go for the Owner range in either ST-66 or ST-76... They are a little more pricey than your average hook but you pay for what you get, they won't let you down and are big enough for your lures giving you good hook projection.
