The Gamakatsu Shiner Hooks feature a prawn-like shape, making it ideal for whole, unpeeled prawns. To use most effectively, insert the hook under the prawn's tail, let the hook follow the bend of the prawn and exit just under the prawn's head. It's perfect for live-baiting with tail-hooked live prawns, or when using cut bait for species such as Barra and snapper. The unique shape of the hook ensures the fish is hooked in the corner of the mouth every time.
