Saltwater Hooks FAQ

Q: What makes saltwater hooks different from freshwater hooks?
A: Saltwater hooks are built from high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand the harsh marine environment and powerful saltwater species. They feature heavy wire, reinforced bends, and chemically sharpened points to ensure durability and solid hook penetration in tough conditions.

Q: What sizes of saltwater hooks do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters offers saltwater hooks in a wide range of sizes — from small #8 shrimp hooks for bonefish and permit to large 5/0 and 6/0 hooks for tarpon, GTs, and other big-game predators. Whatever species you’re chasing, we have the right size and strength for the job.

Q: What types or styles of saltwater hooks are available?
A: Our selection includes straight-eye streamer hooks, tarpon hooks, shrimp and crab hooks, and heavy-duty bluewater models. We also carry short-shank and wide-gape designs for improved hooksets.

Q: Which brands of saltwater hooks do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries leading brands such as Ahrex, Owner, Daiichi, Partridge, Gamakatsu, and Mustad and more. These manufacturers are trusted by saltwater anglers worldwide for producing hooks that stay sharp, strong, and rust-free after countless battles.

Q: Can saltwater hooks be used in freshwater?
A: Yes — their strength and corrosion resistance make them an excellent choice for targeting large freshwater species like pike, musky, and bass. They’re especially useful when tying durable, predator-style flies.

Q: How should I care for my saltwater hooks?
A: Rinse your hooks thoroughly with fresh water after every trip, and let them dry before storage. Keep them organized in corrosion-resistant boxes or hook containers to prevent rust and extend their lifespan.

Dope fly shop, crazy selection of flies including big topwater bass flies of all sorts, and big pike flies which are pretty hard to find in person. Chill staff, loads of inventory. I make a point to stop here every time I'm in Toronto!

Ryan Dawsone

This is the best fly fishing store I have frequented in my 30 year fly fishing experience. The owner Rob, store manager Chris and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable about products and local fly fishing locations. They will guide you towards best products for your needs, and will not try to upsell if a lower priced option is better for you...

Simon Chapman
