catved fishing hook Hawaiian Black Fish w/ Engravings made with unique boar bone and wood Koa Wood Maui Fish Hook

The rear hooks are usually dressed with a feather or silicon hula skirt which gives the lure a realistic looking tail

The loop connection is also stronger than a single bend with point contact in a direct knot

Live Bait Tip: Hook your baits toward their nose if the current is ripping so they appear to be swimming naturally when getting pulled through the water, and hook baits towards the tail when fishing light current so you can direct the fish to swim away from you towards the structure by simply pulling on the line (see example below for a live mullet)
