varivas big mouth 5/0

sakumas have a wide gap, some do anyway and seem very popular.

Have a look at the kamasan b950 uptide hooks,excellent hooks.My other choice would be the mustad powerworm very similar to the viking hook,with a wide gape.

sakuma manta, size all depends on the bait size.

use the manta extras if fishing from a height
these hooks are reliable and easy to get a hold of

sakuma mantas very sharp indeed shudnt miss a fish with them only downfall is if snagged up the hook points get blunt
