Why Use Live Bait Hooks?

Live bait fishing is one of the most effective ways to target predatory fish. These hooks are specifically designed to keep bait lively and natural in the water, increasing your chances of attracting strikes.

Whether you're slow trolling, straylining, or fishing off the rocks, a quality live bait hook ensures better bait presentation and more consistent hook-ups.

How to Choose the Right Hook Size

Selecting the correct hook size depends on your target species and bait size:

Smaller hooks – ideal for snapper, kahawai, and smaller baitfish

Larger hooks – perfect for kingfish and bigger live baits

Matching your hook size to your bait ensures a natural presentation and improves hook-up rates.

Tips for Using Live Bait Hooks

Hook your bait carefully to keep it alive and swimming naturally

Avoid over-handling bait to maintain its effectiveness

Check bait regularly and replace when needed

Use appropriate leader and rig setup for your target species
