Quick take
A size 6 barbless single hook with a teardrop-shaped eye designed for rigging small live minnows and baitfish.
The Owner SBL-55M is a single barbless hook in size #6, with a vertically aligned eye suited to trout minnows, jerkbaits and other hard-bodied plugs. Each bend is built with two angles, and the hook is made in Japan. Anglers who want to replace the factory hook on a minnow or jerkbait can pick it for that job.
