Anyone used/using Gamakatsu live bait HD 11/0 for baker?

(1/2) > >>

Tosh Auer:
Found some well priced(about $2.50ea) hooks today that i thought looked good for use on a baker rig. just wondering if anyone has used them for this or even a tail hook? I am not talking about the live bait HD circle as this would obivously note be appropriate but just thought they looked the goods.

Those look like they would work. What is the distance in the gap between the point and the back?

Tosh Auer:



do you know what the gape on an owner sj-41 11/0 is?

Mark Whitaker:
I use this hook in 12/0.  Fantastic hook, only down side is they must be INOX'ed ASAP after rinsing in Fresh water as they do rust.

Mark Harris:
Looks good for the purpose to me.  The 12/0 probably better than the 11/0.

The gape on two hooks I have used for Bakers is: SJ41 13/0- - 270 mm, Jigging Master 13/0 - also 270 mm.

The JM is the most corrosion resistant large jigging hook I have used but the angled back eye makes it slightly annoying for Baker purposes.  SJ41s or anything with Owner gold finish is absolute rubbish from the corrosion viewpoint.
