SHORE BALLAN WRASSE

HOOKS

Hooks need to be stronger Viking type patterns in size 1/0 to 2/0 for average sized wrasse but go up to 3/0 or 4/0 for bigger wrasse. Check the hook point and resharpen constantly as wrasse have bony mouths and getting the hook to fully penetrate is key to catching. Wrasse have good eyesight, so use bronzed hooks not bright finished nickel hooks which can put wrasse off in clear sunlit seas.
