What’s a good brand and size hook for rigging ballyhoos? Last hooks I bought were $25 for 10pk is that bout right? And I don’t even remember what size and brand they were! Thanks for any advice

7691DT is a Mustad model number,not Owner. That is a good hook for 50# outfits, however using 30-40# outfits I would recommend a 7692DT, same style but slightly ‘lighter wire’ hook for better hookset with less drag…Naked ballyhoo use a 9175 either weighted or unweighted…
