Choose your hook size
Within this range, #14 is the smallest and #6 is the largest. Start by comparing the hook with the egg or amount of bait you plan to use. Smaller hooks suit a more compact offering; moving toward #8 or #6 gives more room for a larger bait portion. Avoid covering the entire gap with bait.
For floating trout bait, test the baited hook in shallow water before casting. The amount of bait, hook size, and attached leader all affect whether the presentation rises as intended. The hook itself does not make a bait float.
3 Tackle Express Tips
- Bait gently. Pierce an egg carefully rather than squeezing it onto the hook. Replace split or damaged eggs that no longer stay in place.
- Leave room for the point to work. Use only enough bait for the presentation and check that excess bait has not filled the hook gap.
- Recheck after every cast. A bare hook can look like an unproductive spot. Inspect the bait and point after retrieving, especially after contact with rocks or debris.
Frequently asked questions
Are these only for catching salmon?
No. “Salmon egg” identifies the bait application. Gamakatsu also recommends this model for floating trout bait.
How many hooks come in a package?
Each pack contains 10 hooks in the selected size.
Is size 14 bigger than size 6?
No. For these numbered hook sizes, #14 is smaller than #6.
What does the barb on the shank do?
It helps retain bait along the hook's shank. Handle and bait the hook carefully to avoid damaging a soft egg.
