What hooks do you use when swordfishing? I've been using different
9/0 hooks and I was wondering what folks used? cheers, arthur

i eather use the lp black carbon hook thats avaliable at bobies shop or a 9/0 stainless custom off set. I personaly dont think the hook matters just make sure its sharp.

I have LP 9/0 Hooks here in the shop. I will put them online shortly. In my opinion they are the best hooks. They sharpen easily and are offset perfectly.

Longliners hook fish with them all the time..

A commercial friend of mine uses 9/0 Owner for everything. Grouper to Swords. Sais its the best hook out there for scavenger species.

Tuna's a different story.

I love the owner 9/0. especially for live baits.

are we talking about the offshore's or the jobu?

any mods to those owners, or just using them they way they are?
