Good old Wikipedia has THIS

A start anyway.

Cheers,

Pete.

widegap are awesome flatty hooks, nearly always a side of the mouth hookup

Yes I read somewhere they are good for side of mouth hookups !

Flatties ey .. how would you bait up on the hook ?

I intend to use these hooks like a weedless jig ..

we use the wide gapes when livebaiting mullet for flattys....

like a circle hook make sure that there is nothing between the point of the hook and the shank....

we pin the mullet thru the shoulder or nose... i have also been trying em out for light baitfishing.... a mate loads em up with shrimp for bream and whiting in the smaller sizes... whiting seem to hook themself most times

Hmmmm - I have a bunch of smallish ones of these, but have never used them yet - will take some out with my plastics next time! Just have to find them! :1prop: I don't often fish with bait these days!
