Best Wrasse Hook

[Michael+C]

From your experiences guys, is there any hook in particular that you would recommend for wrasse, I understand that it may depend on what bait you as using, maybe crab or rag, but would like to hear your comments.

Gamakatsu F314 which is an offset hook, in size 2. I do a lot if wrasse fishing in the summer and its all i use. Their a big hook for their supposed size. Strong as anything too.

I use size one fine wire hooks, strong enough to land any wrasse and will bend out if snagged. Just a personal preferance

Mustad Circle Hooks, Demon something or other, size 1/0s are ideal for small hardback crabs, use a tiny bit of heavy elastic band as a tip to stop the crab getting off the barb (which they can do)...

Owner mosquito hook in size 2 or 4.... forged, offset, sticky sharp, turned eye... absolutely lethal for wrasse..
The gamakatsu F314 is not offset and i have seen plenty snap so I don't use them anymore..

Might be a tad early Paddy, but both sides of Waterford estuary ie Hook Head and Dunmore East where there is deep water meeting rock, give it a shot with rag or crab.

I use Cox and Rawle Chinu 1/0 hooks when fishing rag for wrasse. Perfect for the rag, never bend and stay sharp.
