Hook types and applications for them

[JapanRon]

Hi there DrownedDesertRat,

The mosquito style hook is a pretty good all around hook. As a bait hook it does pretty well for ghost shrimp, minnows and worms. For artificials it's, drop shotting, nose hooking plastics with a Carolina rig or wacky worming (hook in the center of the plastic worm Ouch!).

The medium shanked hook has a very slightly up-turned eye and the barb turns in just a little. I like this hook because it comes in very small sizes and often light wire.

Hope this helps.
