Snagging a Marlin is no easy task.

Snagging a Marlin with an improperly sized hook, however, is an impossible one.

While fishing in Los Suenos anglers must remember to choose the right hooks for their rods, replacing damaged ones with great care. These items boast distinct tension strengths, barbs and shapes (such as the Lazer Sharp, the Mustad Model or the Eagle Claw). They are not interchangeable. They are instead unique.

Sport fishing requires precision. Be certain then to choose identical hooks when looking for replacements. Always match the exact measurements. A hook that’s too large will force lines to tangle, while a hook that's too small will cause unbalanced casting. Choose items that are sized to a rod’s specifications and needs. Consult with the manuel if there is any confusion or ask one of Los Suenos' many charter captains for advice.

Fishing hooks are not created equal. Be sure to choose the right options for any deep-sea or near-shore expedition.
