The point is kirbed and eagle-cut, the eye a solid ring for a knot, a snell or a crimp. Where the standard octopus packs run down to tiny estuary sizes, this one is weighted to the top end: #4 and #2 for general bait work, then straight to #4\/0 through #8\/0 for whole squid, live baitfish and big cut baits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the platinum finish.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plating is a trade-off, not a ranking. Black nickel is chosen when you want the hook to disappear — low glare, discreet in clear shallow water. Tin is chosen when you want a little flash beside the bait in deep or coloured water. A platinum-type plating sits at the premium end: a hard, bright, dense coating that holds its surface longer in salt and resists the light rust that dulls a cheaper finish in a damp tackle box. The cost is that it is reflective, so over clear shallow sand a black hook can still be the better call. Rinse and dry any plated hook after a salt trip, and remember that filing the point opens the steel underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2X-strong reinforced wire for heavier loads and powerful fish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged hook body — compressed through the bend to resist opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep octopus bend with a short, practical shank for compact baits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKirbed (offset) point for better contact when a fish takes side-on\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEagle-cutting chemically sharpened point with a pronounced retaining barb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid ringed eye for heavy leader, snelled rigs and crimps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon steel with a corrosion-resistant plated finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven sizes, #4 through #8\/0, for both freshwater and saltwater bait fishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLive baitfish on the bigger sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pin a live tamban, selar or small mullet through the nose for a drifted bait, or through the back just behind the dorsal to keep it swimming down. #4\/0–#6\/0 suits palm-size baits, #7\/0–#8\/0 a hand-span bait.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhole squid\u003c\/strong\u003e — Pass the point through the tube twice from the tip, leaving the bend and point standing clear.
