That shape does two things at once: it lets a bait sit naturally without stiffening it, and the inward-turned point tends to find the corner of the jaw rather than the throat, which matters when fish are released. The range runs from #3 and #2 for small live and cut baits up to #6\/0 for whole fish and large squid strips, in black nickel for low visibility and red where a flash of colour at the bait head draws the take.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctopus bend with a turned-in point for reliable corner-of-the-mouth hook-ups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort shank that lets bait hang naturally and hides well inside a bait strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp, consistent penetration on both soft and tough baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to live bait, cut bait, squid and prawn in fresh and salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo finishes: black nickel for clear water, red for added visual attraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSizes from #3 up to #6\/0, covering light and heavy bait work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLive bait through the nose\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pass the point up through the bottom jaw and out the top of the nose, or sideways through the nostrils.
