The L256 O’Shaughnessy Live Bait Hook gives live bait anglers a forged shank live bait hook. The forged shank provides strength without added diameter wire, which means quick penetration when paired with the Lazer Sharp Needlepoint. The 2x short shank gives your live bait maximum action, while the O’Shaughnessy bend maintains a high bite-to-hook-up ratio.
