Tronixpro Baitholder Hooks

The Tronixpro Baitholder Hooks are a long-shanked J-hook pattern specifically designed for sea and coarse fishing applications where soft, delicate natural baits are used. Their primary feature is securing bait better than a standard hook.

Key Features

• Bait-Holding Barbs: The defining characteristic is the presence of small barbs (or spurs) situated on either side of the hook shank, positioned toward the eye. These barbs grip the bait material, preventing it from sliding down the hook bend during casting or when fished in a current.
• Shank Length: Long Shank—Similar to an Aberdeen pattern, a long shank is easier to unhook and allows a large amount of bait (like multiple worms) to be threaded on for a long, streamlined presentation.
• Hook Point & Bend:
  • Ultra-Sharp, Three-Point Sharpened Straight Point: Unlike some traditional baitholder hooks which have a beaked point, the Tronixpro version features a sharp, straight point for reliable penetration.
  • Sweeping Bend with Inward Point: The hook features a more sweeping bend, and the point faces slightly inwards, which is a modern design element intended to improve hooking mechanics.
• Ideal Baits: Fantastic for delicate and soft baits, such as ragworm, lugworm, crab, and shellfish (like mussel or clam).
