Quick take
Large forged stainless steel trolling hooks with ring eyes and beveled knife points, built for offshore big game fish.
These saltwater tuna hooks come in a 15-piece pack in size 6/0, forged from stainless steel with a ring eye. The knife point and shortened barb suit big game species such as marlin, shark and tuna. They are built for trolling with skirted lures or rigged with trolled baits, and for cubing on tuna and heavy reef fishing.
Best for
- Trolling lures and live baits for marlin, tuna, and large sharks
- Rigging tandem hook setups for skirted lures in offshore tournaments
- Saltwater cubing and chunking for tuna and large grouper
Skip if
- You fish freshwater or inshore saltwater
- You need smaller hooks for lighter line and modest baits
Strengths
- Forged construction and long straight shank handle extreme line pressure
- Knife point and beveled edge penetrate the hardest jaw bone of large fish
- Ring eye accommodates heavy leader and allows tandem rigs
Trade-offs
- Large size and heavy stock make them difficult to remove from deeply hooked big fish
- Stainless steel is harder to sharpen than nickel-plated hooks
- The ring eye takes up line space and can cause double-line chafe on very heavy line
