Straight-shank hooks: Aberdeen hooks

A long-shank, round-bend hook in fine wire. The long shank makes it easy to hook and unhook live bait; the fine wire bends open on a snag, so you get the rig back and bend the hook straight again.

ItemDetail
ShapeLong straight shank, wide round bend, ringed eye
Wire1X fine (Mustad 37363 is the classic)
Sizes#6–3/0; crappie #4–#1, bass minnow rigs 1/0–2/0
RigsLive minnow under a float, split shot, light bait rigs

Its weakness is its strength: a hard hook set or a big fish on heavy drag opens it the same way a snag does. Heavy line and big fish call for an octopus or circle hook.
