The long shank lets you thread a long natural bait — a fish strip, a squid tube, a whole sardine — so it sits straight and does not spin in current, and it keeps teeth and gill rakers away from the knot. It is also the easiest bait hook to grip with pliers when unhooking a catfish or grouper in the dark. The 4004 is the everyday version of that shape: forged stainless steel, inline barbed point and a solid ringed eye, offered in seven sizes from #2 to #6\/0.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material matters as much as the shape. Stainless does not rust, so a packet can live in a boat tray or a damp jetty bag for a season and rigs can stay made up between trips. High-carbon hooks are harder and hold a keener point longer, but they must be dried after use and will stain everything around them once they start. The other difference is what happens after the fish: a stainless hook will not corrode away inside one. If you are releasing, take the time to back the hook out rather than cutting the line short and leaving it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassic O’Shaughnessy profile — long shank, deep round bend, straight point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction for corrosion and rust resistance in salt water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForged hook body for extra strength under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline point so pulling force runs straight through on the strike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharp barbed point for fast penetration and secure retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid ringed eye for heavy line, leaders and snelled rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen hooks per packet on the sizes the maker lists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuited to bottom fishing, drifting and offshore bait work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Rig It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut fish strip\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thread a long strip on twice along the shank so it lies flat and streams in current.
