If there is a better bait holder than the Matzuo 5/0 sickle bend for using with gulp teasers I haven't seen it !!!!!!!!!!

In my bucktails I'm using 7/0 and 8/0 black nickel mustards

Spot on Steve. Went from a 4/0 few years ago, to a 6/0, and finally up to 8/0. It's amazing, even the short 14" postage stamp size fluke take that 8/0 and 6" grub right in. Nice part about it, never have to worry about gut hooking a fish. Hook ends up in the same place every time. I've had people look at me with that teaser hook and say, what are doing, going cod fishing........... I just smile.
