Description

Sunset Sunhooks SW 3313BN | The Powerhouse Short-Shank Predator Hook

When youre targeting hard-fighting species that possess incredible crushing power, you need a hook that wont flex, snap, or let go. The Sunset Sunhooks SW 3313BN is a heavyweight short-shank specialist designed for maximum strength and optimal concealment in chunky baits.

At Gerrys Fishing, we often point anglers toward the 3313BN when they are hunting hard-mouthed predators. The combination of a strong gauge wire and a short shank creates a massive amount of leverage; because the distance between the eye and the bend is short, it is much harder for a fish to straighten the hook during a brutal fight. Made in Japan, these hooks feature a reversed (offset) point that ensures the hook twists into place the moment the line tightens.

Where to Use: Recommended Scenarios

The 3313BN is a versatile, heavy-duty tool that excels in high-pressure saltwater environments:

• Specimen Gilthead Bream: Bream have powerful crushers that can flatten inferior hooks. The 3313BNs short shank stays hidden inside a crab or mussel bait, while the strong wire stands up to the initial hammer of a big Gilthead.

• Ray & Smooth-hound Fishing: When using hard-back crabs or squid chunks for Rays and Hounds, you need a hook that provides a clean hook-up. The reversed point is designed to find a hold in the tough, leathery mouths of these species.

• Boat Fishing (Uptiding & Downtiding): This is an excellent hook for working baits over wrecks or rough ground. The short shank makes it very difficult for the hook to get snagged compared to long-shank models, while the strength is there for big Cod and Pollack.

• Heavy Estuary Bass: If you are fishing large baits like live prawns or chunks of mackerel in fast-moving water, the 3313BN offers the discreet profile of a small hook with the pulling power of a large one.

The Gerrys Fishing Verdict

The Sunset SW 3313BN is the pitbull of the Sunset range. Its compact, incredibly strong, and bites hard. The reversed point is the secret weapon hereit significantly increases the hook-up rate by ensuring the point isnt masked by the bait when a fish strikes. If you are tired of hooks bending out on big fish or want a stealthy presentation for powerful species, this Japanese-engineered hook is your solution.

Gerrys Pro Tip: This is the perfect hook for cocktail baits. Use the short shank to anchor a large chunk of squid or fish-wrap, and the reversed point will stay clear and ready to set the moment a predator inhales the bait
