I was fishing with my father in law (F.I.L.) on Drake’s Island several years back when he lost a fish of a lifetime because his hook snapped.  Yes.  Snapped!  It was clearly my fault.

Since this heart-breaking experience, I have been searching for a J-style hook that would exceed his expectations.  What I quickly learned is that there are nearly countless J-style hooks on the market.  But, my search has finally come to an end with the Eagle Claw “481BK” hook:

The features that sold my F.I.L. are:

1. The bait holder bars on the shank.
2. The lazed sharp off-set point
3. The forged medium wire.
4. Made In USA.

I ordered him a 20 pack from Terminal Tackle Co. in New York.  They arrive at my door is just a few days.  Now that’s service!
