    Help me identify this hook?

    B629DBEA-C567-4078-BA72-D5746AFD9E4B.jpeg The hook on the left was purchased in North Carolina and was sold in a plastic bag with no label , I was told the weedgaurds were tied on by a local guy , apparently he no longer makes them and I didn’t have any idea how much I was going to love them or I would have bought a bunch. I put it next to an owner wacky hook for reference , which is a similar profile but lighter wire, I have tried a bunch but this one suits the way I use the wacky by far the best, anyone have any idea what hook this actually is? Thanks for any input

    I believe Gamakatsu makes a hook similar to that

    Looks like an Owner or Gami "Live bait" hook to me.

    The OP didn't state the size but it looks like a Gamakatsu live bait hook. With all the strands from a fiber weed guard going through the eye I'm going to assume it is a pretty large hook. Anyway, check out the link, this may be what you are looking for. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p...QNFA&gclsrc=ds

    If you read the post he said it put it next to an Owner wacky hook for reference.

    Thanks for the input, I will look towards live bait/ catfish hooks. I don’t know the size unfortunately but I’m thinking it’s like 1/0 in a 2x or a 3x. It’s a stout hook, I’m not using it for finesse application
