Varivas hooks

been using big mouths for past to winters strong and sharp had.all my cod on them. use 2/0 all way up to biggest size. will bend out under good pressure.

i also use them on rough ground.
 
Big mouth are the same as mantas only cheaper. I use the extras. Being a g-point fan (discontinued) I'm not a fan of round bend Aberdeen style hooks for cod. But its all I can find for now.
 
varivas big mouths are different to mantas cos mantas snap under pressure varivas bend out.

I was talking about the shape, wire thickness, shank length, barb ect. In this respect they are basically the same.
And I only use the big mouth extras which take some bending out.
I don't like the angle of pull on the point.
I wish they did sal****er champs up to a 6/0.
 
Used to use the Big Mouths for south coast Hounding, excellent hooks which have landed me plenty of Smuts up to double figures (though my pb which came in at a smidge under 11lb was caught on a 1/0 Varivas semi-circle hook :o )

A but OT, but you have to love a sea fishing site that has nanny software which censors the word salt water. It's just as well S****horpe is not a noted sea fishing venue :D
