Tsunami Mako Aberdeen Hooks
Sizes 2, 1, 1/0, 2/0, 3/0, 4/0
Tsunami Mako hooks are super sharp Aberdeen type hooks but with a slightly larger gape, which is ideal for fishing larger baits like squid and crab. These hooks are chemically sharpened for excellent point grip, making them ideal for bass and cod fishing.
The Aberdeen hook is one of the most popular in the UK for shore fishing but can be used boat fishing too.
They are favoured by anglers due to the ease of baiting sandeels and worms because of the long shank. Due to the long shank it can make it easier for removing from a fish as it is easier to get a hold of and worked free making for a quicker release time.
One of the many uses for these hooks is for a pennell rig. The long shank makes it perfect hook for this.
Going by the Sea Anglers this is a rough guide of what sizes to use.
Size 6 to 2 are best for small flatfish, mullet, garfish and scratchy match fishing with small wriggling worms, fish strips etc.
Size 2, 1 and 1/0 are for general freelance and match fishing from the beach or pier for all species with multiple small lugworm, ragworm baits.
Size 2/0, 3/0, 4/0 take large worm baits, sandeels or cocktails of lug, squid, fish etc for cod and bass.
Size 4/0-6/0 are the heavyweights for large whole crabs, calamari squid, multi squid, live fish, mackerel head and cocktails for seriously big fish.
