A heavier gauge hook pattern that is ideal for heavy shore and light boat fishing. It features a wide gape and a shorter, medium hook shank that makes it suitable for big worm baits when targeting cod in the winter and for large fish baits too for rays and smaller conger. The wide-gape is useful when preparing bulkier baits such as crab when targeting smoothhound or bass. The Beast Uptide is a popular pattern for fishing with a pennel style hook setup when targeting bigger fish. These hooks are bronze coated, allowing the hooks to rust out quicker if the fish breaks the line during the fight.
