A size 6 red stainless steel Aberdeen hook, a long-shank general purpose hook for small bait and panfish.
The Tru Turn 853ZS-6 is an Aberdeen hook in size 6, made of stainless steel with a blood red finish. Its modified shank is designed to turn the point toward the fish's mouth, and its thin wire suits crappie and other panfish, especially when fished with live bait. Each pack holds one hook, which makes it a simple pick for a small panfish rig.
