Long Shank Aberdeens

[The Great Wallsendo]

A couple of years ago I bought some extra long aberdeen hooks...and I can't for the life of me find them again

There was a name for them...but I can't remember what it was :red:

They are ordinary gape in terms of hook size but the shank length was double that of ordinary aberdeens

They are very good for worm baits

Anyone got a clue as to what these hooks are called

Cheers in advance
