Quick take
Extra-long-shank Aberdeen hooks in 12 sizes with an offset design for rigging live bait.
The Dr.Fish Aberdeen hook in size #8 comes in a 100 pack with an extra long shank suited to prawns, nippers, whitebait and strip baits. Its bronze carbon steel body has a barbed point and a finely ground eye, and it works for crappie, walleye and panfish. The long shank is a feature of the Aberdeen pattern, which is easy to thread and easy to unhook.
