Quick take
A 150-piece assortment of long-shank baitholder hooks with shank barbs that grip worms and cut bait.
A baitholder J hook with two barbs along the shank to keep strips and slices of bait in place, made from high carbon steel for freshwater and saltwater use. Its longer shank suits prawns, nippers, whitebait and strip baits, and the 150-piece set runs from 4# to 5/0 in a plastic box that keeps each size apart.
