Saltwater fishing is an entirely different sport than freshwater fishing and has a lot of specialized techniques, materials, and needs. This includes the saltwater bait that you use for any particular kind of fish you intend to catch. There are, of course, several choices for kind of saltwater bait to use, but typically, this is based on what you are fishing for.

For example, if you are fishing for redfish, you'll use a different type of saltwater bait than you would to fish for flounder. Redfish respond well to grubs, especially those between 2 and 4 inches long. On a good day, the use of smaller grubs is highly productive; however, on days when you can't seem to get a bite, try using bigger grubs, closer to 4 inches in length. This will attract redfish often even when they aren't particularly hungry.

In many people's minds, a fishing hook is just a hook, but choosing saltwater fishing hooks can be one of the most important parts of having a successful fishing excursion. Of course, choosing the right size for your hooks based on the species of fish you'll be pursuing is important, but you should more importantly determine the right type of hook to use on your excursion.

When you are targeting smaller fish, obviously smaller hooks are required. However, there are other factors to take into consideration before you make the final determination. What line size are you using? What species is your main target fish for the day (you need to know more than just the size of the fish - there are other characteristics of the fish that will make a difference)? What type of bait are you going to load onto your saltwater fishing Hooks? Also, determine what fishing structure you'll be targeting - shallows, deep waters, wreckage, and reefs all call for different types of saltwater fishing hooks.
