Description
The Cox & Rawle Meat Hook Extra is a super heavy-duty sea fishing hook designed for targeting the largest and hardest-fighting predatory fish. It is an enhanced version of the classic Cox & Rawle Meat Hook.
The key detail from your query is that it is often sold individually, hence the 1 Per Packet description, which is common for large, specialist hooks.
Key Features
| Feature | Description |
| Hook Type | Classic heavy wire Shark Hook pattern, designed for extreme strength. |
| Strength | Classified as Extra Strong or Super Heavy Duty, significantly stronger than the standard Meat Hook. The wire is thicker/heavier gauge. |
| Eye | Straight, Welded Eye. The welded eye is crucial as it prevents the heavy wire from opening under extreme pressure from very large fish. |
| Construction | Forged bend for added strength. |
| Point | Chemically sharpened point with a neat barb. |
| Finish | Tinned finish for corrosion resistance in saltwater. |
| Packaging | Typically sold as 1 hook per pack due to its large size and specialist application. |
Sizes
The hook is available in a very wide range of large sizes, with the largest sizes being suitable for big game and deep-sea species.
| Common Sizes | Application Focus |
| Smaller Sizes | 4/0, 6/0, 7/0, 8/0 (Used for large Cod, Pollock, Bass, Conger, and big baits.) |
| Largest Sizes | 10/0, 11/0, 12/0, 13/0, 14/0, 16/0, 18/0 (Specialist sizes for Shark, Skate, and Halibut.) |
Primary Fishing Use
The Cox & Rawle Meat Hook Extra is the go-to hook for anglers using large baits (whole fish, big squid sections, etc.) and targeting the biggest specimens in the sea, whether from a boat or the shore (using the smaller sizes).
- Sharks: Designed specifically as a classic shark hook.
- Big Game/Deep Sea: Halibut (especially in Norway), Skate, and other large, hard-fighting species.
- Predators: Large Conger Eel and Tope (often used in wire traces).
- Large Bottom Fish: Very big Cod or other heavyweight species over rough ground where maximum strength is required.
