Blacktail Hooks
Easy to get hooked.
Hard to get it off.
Cone-cut, aggressive barb, high-carbon steel and black nickel coated finish. The hook that changed what anglers expect from a $3.49 pack.
Cone Cut Technology
A smaller hole.
A better hold.
A cone-shaped point opens a smaller incision, and penetrates with less pressure. Your fish will get hooked, even with the slightest touch.

New
Built for Bluefin 4X Mutsu
Our Mutsu Circle in a heavier 4X wire. Small enough to match fin bait, strong enough for tuna — including a size #5 nobody else was making.
Cone Cut Technology
A smaller hole.
A better hold.
A super sharp cone-shaped point penetrates with less pressure and hold on to your catch with fine barb.
Glow Series
Light where
there isn’t any.
Before gray light, after dark, and past 200 feet. White seabass, yellowtail, rockfish.
2nd Generation
Ringed Mutsu Circle
Built for bluefin. The ring lets the hook find its own angle — so it sets in the corner and stays there.
Buy $7.99
Glow Series
Light where
there isn’t any.
Glow-coated finish for deep water, dusk and night bites. White seabass, rockfish, halibut.
Shop Glow from $6.49
Cone Cut Technology
A smaller hole.
A better hold.
Proprietary metal grinding produces a cone-shaped point instead of a flat-ground one. It opens a smaller incision, so it penetrates with less pressure — and does less damage to the bait and hold on to your catch with finely crafted barb.
Cone-cut point
Easier penetration, smaller incision, reduced bait injury. Better for live bait.
Finely crafted barb
Sized to hold, not to tear. Easy to get hooked, hard to get it off.
