I went out yesterday morning about 5miles from my place
and caught this nice snapper,using these maruto hooks
I used these once before and didn't like them,although they looked good.
the trip away I saw a pro using them and decided to give them another go (yesterday)
calm day and no current,no lead was necessary only 20m deepthe fish I caught were all gut hooked.makes you think,dont it

circle hooks, lost a lot of fish using this. best hook to use, for my intended purpose, because it doesn't gut hook the fish.
