Nothing about it is clever, and that is the point — the pull runs straight from the knot down the shank and out through the tip, so the hookset is direct and predictable, and a threaded strip bait hangs dead straight instead of helicoptering on the drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 45704 is Santec’s mid-range take on it, and it sits deliberately below the big \/0 patterns. High-carbon steel, forged through the body, with a chemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point and a strong retaining barb. The point alignment is \u003cstrong\u003estraight, not kirbed\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the reason to reach for this one over an offset hook: on a still bottom rig or a snelled dropper the fish loads the line in one direction and a straight point rewards that. The finish is \u003cstrong\u003ebright nickel\u003c\/strong\u003e — the traditional choice where a little flash beside a pale strip bait or a live prawn does no harm, and easier to find on a dark deck than a black hook. Seven sizes run #10 up to #1\/0, which puts this squarely in the panfish-to-jetty band rather than the reef-wreck end of the family, and packs run generous at the small end: fifteen hooks at #8 and #10 down to eight at #1\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic O’Shaughnessy profile — long straight shank with a deep curved bend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline point alignment for a direct, controlled hookset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemically sharpened Eagle Cutting point with angled cutting faces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp retaining barb to keep the hook seated once it has gone in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged, compressed wire that resists bending under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinged eye for mono, fluorocarbon or leader material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel with a bright nickel finish for surface protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven sizes, #10 through #1\/0, at up to fifteen hooks per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded strip bait\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lay a fillet or squid strip along the shank and pass the point through it twice so it sits flat.
