Quick take
Specialized hooks for holding live shrimp without damaging them, using a spring-loaded clip to grip the shell.
This black carbon steel live bait hook in size #4/0 comes six to a pack and is built for anglers who rig live shrimp. Its holder design is meant to mount a shrimp without piercing the body, so the bait stays lively and swimming. It works in saltwater, freshwater and brackish water, and it suits medium to large shrimp.
Best for

- Large redfish and snook in coastal waters

- You need smaller hooks for panfish or trout
Strengths
