L702 CIRCLE SEA HOOK by Eagle claw. This is the closest I can find to the style I use. The one I use has 2 slices on the shank. I use a #2 for fishing anchovies at Powell. I have used the same size at Ut. Lake for cats, just cut my bait smaller . I also will fillet the white bass, then cut triangular strips about an inch at the top, tapering to a point at the bottom. You can cut the tail end of the fillet off so it is about 1.5 inches, then cut that portion down the middle so you have two tapering baits. I then cut the fillet into tapering baits the length of the width of the fillet till I get to the rib cage, cut that out and then get one or two baits off the top of the fillet. You can scale the WB before filleting or run your hook point thru the wide portion of the bait from the meat side to the scale side, that way you don't get any scales covering the point of your hook. You can make these up in advance and soak in your favorite sent in a plastic bag or container.
