Patch Reef fishing is one of the most exciting types of fishing due to the variety of fish species to catch and this can be some of the most non-stop action with the proper techniques.
Using the proper hook is a key when fishing the patch reefs. Circle hooks prove to be the best option of hook for their low mortality rate due to the hook usually being placed in the corner of the jaw. This catch & release hook ensures that sub-legal catches have a better chance of survival. In most places, it is the law to use circle hooks when engaging in any kind of bottom fishing. This said, there are some grey areas such as using live or chunk bait free-lined behind the boat for “Flag” Yellowtail Snapper. So for this, we offer the “Patch King” in both a circle and octopus J style hook to fit the fishermen’s needs. This hook comes in sizes #1 through 5/0 in both circle and octopus J, to accommodate the anglers’ style of fishing.
The precision blend of extreme sharpness and the proper curves and bends in our octopus style J hook meets the needs of fishermen from novice to avid angling skills. Our circle hook is a tournament style, in-line circle hook matched with superior sharpness that allows for exceptional penetration. All of our hooks go through a special forging process to increase strength and holding power. Our hooks are 30% stronger than traditional wire hooks and hold up to some of the toughest fish the ocean has to offer. Don’t let that trophy Mutton or Yellowtail get away due to sub-quality hooks.
