Gerry's Tackle 2X Gold Salmon Egg Hooks Size 10

I reach for the size 10 Gerry's Tackle salmon egg hook specifically when I am fishing floating baits. The size 8 is a great hook but it can be just heavy enough to pull down a buoyant bait like PowerBait Mice Tails. Dropping to a size 10 solves that — the hook is small and light enough to let the bait do what it is designed to do and float naturally in the strike zone. The 2X strength high carbon steel construction means I am not sacrificing holding power to get that smaller profile. Gold finish, needle point, and 100 per pack at $0.13 a hook. If floating baits are part of your still water trout setup, having a pack of these in your bag is worth it.
