Best Sheepshead Hooks?

Long standing debate, which hooks are the best for catching Sheepshead? I prefer a stout hook. I would rather have my line break than have my hooks bend out (I use 80 pound fluorocarbon). I noticed these Gamakatsu hooks bending out on snags and I lost a really nice fish due to the weaker metal. Gamakatsu does have a 4X Strong Octopus hook, which work really well. Which hooks do you prefer?
April 4th, Temp mid 40's to mid 60's, wind NE10 slacking off throughout the day.
Hooks used today: Gomakatsu Octopus 3/O Stock# 02413-25, Mustad Ultrapoint 2/0 Ref# 92677NPBLN
16' Sundance Skiff
30HP Mercury
Shimano Torium 20HG - Shimano Trevala Jigging Rod 6'6" Heavy, Medium Fast
Penn Fathom 25NLD2 - Shimano Trevala Jigging Rod 5'8" Heavy, Medium Fast.
100 Pound Power Pro, 80 Pound Fluorocarbon Leader, 3 Ounce Egg Sinker
Catch Mud Crabs under stuff, below the high tide line (WEAR GLOVES oyster cuts are nasty). Purple crabs with spots and striped legs are stone crabs and are illegal to possess.
Catch Sea Urchins on pilings and other structure below the high tide line (WEAR GLOVES, the spines are non-venomous but can leave splinters and oyster cuts are nasty) I use a crab net.

JawBreaker Jigs by 43_2 fishing are the best bang for your buck sheepshead jigs out there. Theyre locally made and custom painted in NewBern NC

@HAYBALEKILLER 2 года назад

Thanks form sharing . I always enjoy your videos.

@popnshots9139 2 года назад

I have been using Bottom Sweeper Jigs, which have been very effective in the port area on Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Red Drum. Thinking about switching over to JawBreaker Jigs to support local business. I am also interested in trying out your rig, as your vids are a testament to its ability to land fish after fish! Nice work on the vids! Keep them coming!

I like to use the mustad Big gun in 2/0 and 1/0 really stout hook I have had great success with these hooks. It's been to windy to get out lately great video as always sir.

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

I have used those, I like 'em. Remember, there is always somewhere to get out of the wind at the port (if you get there early)...Thanks for the comment!

@alanharding1431 Год назад

I have recently switched from gamakatsu to matzuo octopus hooks.they are wicked sharp.

@drumcrazykayakfishing9514 2 года назад

I like mustad ultra point 1/0 or gamakatsu 1/0 live bait hooks when I'm using smaller mud, rock or fiddler crabs.. I'll go a little bigger say 4/0 or so (on a bottom sweeper style jig)) if I'm using blue crab or urchins. Depends on the size of the bait for me! Great video as usual, liked the pizza one too lol

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

That’s what’s up, I switch to bigger hooks at the end of May when the big sheep show back up. I go up to 4/0 or 5/0. Thanks for the feedback.

@BigKounntry 2 года назад

I use bottom sweeper jigs now but before I switch to them I used gamakatsu live bait 1/0 hooks

@cfmurphy57 2 года назад

I fish Holden Beach area alot and really like the owner gorilla light #1 or #2 they are extremely sharp.

@XlChubbyBacon 2 года назад

BEST hooks are Gamakatsu live bait hooks. They are awesome for sheeps

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

I have never tried those but they look good, what size are you using?

@scottgreatkids 2 года назад

I also use the bottom sweeper. They are expensive though. If it isn’t too windy this weekend I’m going to your spot to try your rig.

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

Good luck out there!

What tied do you like to fish . I have tried to fish the Swansboro bridge. The current is ripping there not of the time . I was wondering if a slack tied would produce any bites

@hunter923 2 года назад

How do you rig your double hook set up and im guessing its the 80 Pound floro from swivel to hooks ?

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

I show how to tie the rig in my parboiled sandfleas are legit video, 80 fluoro is right, it is an awesome set up.

@TridentDriver 2 года назад

If you ever get lucky enough to get to say 20k subs can you imagine how many people will be fishing your spots?

@FrankLadd 2 года назад

It's not about the spots. Everyone here already fishes those same spots. It's important to have the right gear and the specific experience in detecting the bite and setting the hook.

@michaelzabriskie2105 2 года назад

Are you dropping it down letting the weight sit on the bottom?? Never been sheepshead fishing before that's why I ask.

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

I always drop it all the way to the bottom, two hooks gives the fish more to chew on and more chance to get a hook deep in the mouth.

@michaelzabriskie2105 2 года назад

@@offkilterfishing So you let the weight lay on the bottom, not hold it up off the bottom?

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

@@michaelzabriskie2105 Let it set on the bottom and keep the line tight, you will feel them thumping.

@edwardegnor9641 2 года назад

Lol you can’t compare a 2 x hook too a standard hook lol you need to buy 2x or 4 x hooks only

@offkilterfishing 2 года назад

I totally agree, I was really attempting to show the difference that the hook thickness makes. I was flounder fishing with a large kahle hook last September and put on a sand flea to see if there were a few black drum in the area. I hooked a fish that pulled like a truck and bent the hook straight. Lesson learned.
