Hooks & Terminal Tackle
Hooks, swivels, sinkers, jig heads, sabikis and corks: the small stuff that catches fish.
Out on the bay, in the mangroves or on the open ocean, the everyday struggles get left behind at the dock. For those few hours, it’s just you, the smell of the sea and a feeling of peace, until the bite starts and it’s nothing but joy and excitement.

Hooks & Terminal Tackle
Circle hooks save fish
Circle hooks hook fish in the corner of the mouth, so releases are easy and you miss fewer bites with live bait. Don't jerk; just reel and let the hook slide into place.
Keep a small, simple kit
A few sizes of hooks, swivels, egg and pyramid sinkers, jig heads and sabiki rigs will cover nearly every situation. Store them in a waterproof box so they don't rust.
Sabikis catch the bait
A sabiki rig with a small weight catches the sardines, herring and goggle-eyes that catch everything else. Fish it near lights and structure at dawn.
