Mustad R9174NP-BN Ringed Live Bait Hooks - Size 1/0

The Mustad 9174 BR is my go to hook for local fishing. I
fish around the Channel Island National Park in California.

I use it for bass, barracuda, bonito, and other small to medium size fish.

The Mustad R9174NPBN is perfect for yellowtail. I normally
use live bait, anchovies, sardines, mackerel or squid, for this.

The ringed 9174 is lighter, plenty strong at 2x and the full size barb holds
the bait much better than the "Designer" hooks.

The method utilized is called flying. Tie a hook to the end of your line,
pin on a bait and cast it out, perfect technique for the R9174NPBN.

Attached are two recently taken yellowtail, June/July using
the R9174NPBN hook using the flying method.
