Quick take
A 600-piece assortment of long-shank carbon steel baitholder hooks in sizes 3-12 with offset points for secure hooksets.
The DONQL 600-piece kit gives bait anglers a full range of baitholder hooks, from size 3 to 12, made of high carbon steel for freshwater and saltwater. Each hook has a long shank with two bait-holding slices along the back, a shape suited to prawns, nippers, whitebait and strip baits. A beaked point with an offset tip completes the design, so one kit covers small and large baits alike.
