Let customers speak for us
from 12 reviewsOn my first attempt using the Hooc bait, I caught one of my biggest snapper of this summer! Super easy to use.
Really enjoyed testing this bait out over the Easter break. The great thing is it works & we were easily catching bluecod off it. Not only does it work, but best result is not having to contend with smelly & messy squid in the boat!!’.
Top work Hooc,…..will recommend your product to other fishing mates!
Used HOOC blue cod fishing in the Pelorus Sound and caught half a dozen monster blue cod in a short space of time. The biggest was 44cm!
No stinky squid hands and a clean boat afterwards is a bonus.
Bit strange at first to what we are used to use we caught our feed just under a hour , but saying that, you can't promise anything when you go fishing, but every little thing helps our chances, time will tell
Was slightly skeptical but it worked well. Loved that there was no stinky squid bait mess and we had no shortage of bites (and fish landed). I’m converted and will never use squid bait again.
Your product arrived very quickly and is well packaged in an easy to open box . I ordered 3 boxes and have given one to my son to try and another to a friend to try . We have all had good results ., I partially like the no mess to clean up when am done fishing . For sure we will order more
Fish love it ,,, true story I got a Blue Cod on it in Auckland Harbour
Looks great and it smells like mussels so I'm sure its going to work real well.
seem to work catches fish, that is all you can ask
Smells like bait
I love this product, how easy it is to use, how clean it is and hassle free. plus sustainable, no plastic and environmental friendly.
Love, love, love this bait. Doesn't smell and isn't slimey so super easy to put on the hook. The kids love it. And no more plastic bags of bait sitting in our freezer. Once you have been "hooc'd" you won't go back to any other type of bait.

Additionally cardboard is biodegradable and can be easily recycled, unlike many plastics that persist in the environment for hundreds of years.
