Best Sheepshead Hooks?

[@popnshots9139]

I have been using Bottom Sweeper Jigs, which have been very effective in the port area on Sheepshead, Black Drum, and Red Drum. Thinking about switching over to JawBreaker Jigs to support local business. I am also interested in trying out your rig, as your vids are a testament to its ability to land fish after fish! Nice work on the vids! Keep them coming!

[@paynethomas5945]

Travis and austin make some killer jigs man, 43_2 fishing 👍🏻

[@MrSaltwaterfreak]

JawBreaker Jigs by 43_2 fishing are the best bang for your buck sheepshead jigs out there. Theyre locally made and custom painted in NewBern NC

[@HAYBALEKILLER]

Thanks form sharing . I always enjoy your videos.

[@williamjohnson4091]

I like to use the mustad Big gun in 2/0 and 1/0 really stout hook I have had great success with these hooks. It's been to windy to get out lately great video as always sir.

[@offkilterfishing]

I have used those, I like 'em. Remember, there is always somewhere to get out of the wind at the port (if you get there early)...Thanks for the comment!

[@BigKounntry]

I use bottom sweeper jigs now but before I switch to them I used gamakatsu live bait 1/0 hooks

[@cfmurphy57]

I fish Holden Beach area alot and really like the owner gorilla light #1 or #2 they are extremely sharp.

[@alanharding1431]

I have recently switched from gamakatsu to matzuo octopus hooks.they are wicked sharp.

[@scottgreatkids]

I also use the bottom sweeper. They are expensive though. If it isn’t too windy this weekend I’m going to your spot to try your rig.

[@offkilterfishing]

Good luck out there!

[@XlChubbyBacon]

BEST hooks are Gamakatsu live bait hooks. They are awesome for sheeps

[@offkilterfishing]

I have never tried those but they look good, what size are you using?

[@ronalddills4566]

What tied do you like to fish . I have tried to fish the Swansboro bridge. The current is ripping there not of the time . I was wondering if a slack tied would produce any bites

[@drumcrazykayakfishing9514]

I like mustad ultra point 1/0 or gamakatsu 1/0 live bait hooks when I'm using smaller mud, rock or fiddler crabs.. I'll go a little bigger say 4/0 or so (on a bottom sweeper style jig)) if I'm using blue crab or urchins. Depends on the size of the bait for me! Great video as usual, liked the pizza one too lol

[@offkilterfishing]

That’s what’s up, I switch to bigger hooks at the end of May when the big sheep show back up. I go up to 4/0 or 5/0. Thanks for the feedback.

[@michaelzabriskie2105]

Are you dropping it down letting the weight sit on the bottom?? Never been sheepshead fishing before that's why I ask.

[@offkilterfishing]

I always drop it all the way to the bottom, two hooks gives the fish more to chew on and more chance to get a hook deep in the mouth.

[@michaelzabriskie2105]

@@offkilterfishing So you let the weight lay on the bottom, not hold it up off the bottom?

[@offkilterfishing]

@@michaelzabriskie2105 Let it set on the bottom and keep the line tight, you will feel them thumping.

[@michaelzabriskie2105]

@@offkilterfishing Cool… I’ll have try some sheepshead fishing then. Thanks for the information.

[@paulwelch5570]

Where was you fishing

[@hunter923]

How do you rig your double hook set up and im guessing its the 80 Pound floro from swivel to hooks ?

[@offkilterfishing]

I show how to tie the rig in my parboiled sandfleas are legit video, 80 fluoro is right, it is an awesome set up.

[@fevers4413]

What city/state are you fishing?

[@alivashdragore]

Was wondering if you ever chase the shad in the cape fear?

[@offkilterfishing]

I go after hickory shad in the Neuse river, I am fond of their roe and they are a good bait for catfish.

[@alivashdragore]

@@offkilterfishing 100% agree about the roe

[@dmnguye69]

What type of rig are you using?

[@anthonygreene5819]

I like gamakatsu 2and3/0 live bait hooks whenever I get a chance to go where do you go to catch your mud crabs at down there

[@rayrobinson1588]

Where can I get sea urchins near Morehead City?

[@offkilterfishing]

Chasin Tails sells them or you can catch your own

[@charlesreed4869]

I would really like to go out on the boat with you to catch some sheep head looks like you catch them very easy I live in Bayboro

[@chantelledavis3223]

Where are you fishing at?

[@ronalddills4566]

Where do you get your sea urchins ???

[@mogmognomdom]

It's 15in 5 bag limit in Texas. Where are you?

[@offkilterfishing]

NC, 10” Fork Length, 10 fish bag limit

[@brett7794]

At this point you should know what the best hook is for hook up ratio can i ask which one it is? I've heard 100 people say 1,000 different things

[@offkilterfishing]

@@brett7794 it is not that simple. I use different hooks for different scenarios. I like 4/0 or 5/0 4X strong Gamakatsu for 2 hook Carolina rigs during the summer. Need heavy line and heavy combo to set hooks with these. 3/0-5/0 jawbreaker jigs work great year round. I use 3/0 owner hooks during the winter for smaller fish. I like mustad hooks also. It really depends on your setup and your style of fishing. Keep experimenting with what works best for you…

[@brett7794]

@@offkilterfishing what line are you using and what is your combo? Looks like a jigging set up

[@offkilterfishing]

@@brett7794 I put that info in the video description…

How are the sheepshead in May

[@offkilterfishing]

Bonkers

[@TNT27767]

What size weights do you use? Thanks

[@offkilterfishing]

3oz

[@ronnyk6263]

40

[@joeyherring6360]

I like Owner but they r pricey!

[@432fishing3]

Hey man don’t have any way to Contact you other than here. I’ll send you a few Jawbreaker jigs to try out. I’ve had really good success and reviews from ppl

[@offkilterfishing]

Thanks, I would love to try them. Contact me at [e-mail]

[@edwardegnor9641]

Lol you can’t compare a 2 x hook too a standard hook lol you need to buy 2x or 4 x hooks only

[@offkilterfishing]

I totally agree, I was really attempting to show the difference that the hook thickness makes. I was flounder fishing with a large kahle hook last September and put on a sand flea to see if there were a few black drum in the area. I hooked a fish that pulled like a truck and bent the hook straight. Lesson learned.

[@bwizzle4194]

Lol....dude using snapper gear for sheeps 😅
