The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The FishTrip 100 Pack Aberdeen hooks are built from high carbon steel in a long shank, light wire Aberdeen design, sized #6 and finished in black, with the full 100 piece pack weighing 0.01 kilograms. That combination, a thin wire and long shank, is a classic setup for crappie and other panfish where a light hook lets live bait like minnows swim naturally without added weight or bulk.
At $7.49, the price sits close to the Berkley FSN19WWG2/0 at $7.99 and above the Berkley FSN19EWG3/0 at $5.99, though both of those ship in single-digit pack counts, 5 and 6 pieces, aimed at bass rather than crappie. Against the Gamakatsu 58414-25 at $27.79 for 25 pieces, this Aberdeen pack costs a fraction as much while offering four times the piece count, though Gamakatsu targets trout with a heavier hook design.
On review data, 386 reviews at 4.2 stars is the weakest rating in this comparison set, trailing the 4.5 to 4.8 range posted by the other hooks. Bought last month sits at 100+, in line with several of the comparison hooks but well behind the 500 to 1,000+ figures seen on the strongest sellers in this hook lineup.
Pros
- 100 pieces for $7.49, about $0.075 per hook
- Long shank, light wire Aberdeen design suited specifically to crappie and panfish
- High carbon steel construction, consistent with every hook in this comparison
- Size #6 in a 100 count pack gives anglers plenty of hooks for a full panfish season

Cons
- 4.2 star rating is the lowest among all hooks in this comparison
- 386 reviews is a smaller sample than the Gamakatsu 58414-25's 2,500
- Bought last month sits at 100+, trailing the 500 to 1,000+ figures on stronger sellers in this category
- Light wire construction built for panfish is not suited to bass, tuna, or shark

Performance notes
An Aberdeen hook is defined by its long shank and thin, light-gauge wire, a shape designed to bend rather than snap when it gets hung up on structure, which makes it a common choice for crappie anglers fishing brush piles and docks where snags are frequent. The light wire also lets live bait like minnows move naturally on the hook, since a heavier hook can weigh down smaller bait and reduce its action in the water. At size #6, this hook is sized toward smaller panfish rather than larger bass or saltwater species, and the black finish keeps the hook low-visibility against dark bait or stained water. The full 100 piece pack weighing just 0.01 kilograms confirms how light each individual hook is, in keeping with the Aberdeen design's core purpose of finesse presentation over raw strength.
What buyers say
At 4.2 stars across 386 reviews, this hook carries the lowest rating in the comparison set, sitting below the 4.5 to 4.8 range posted by the other hooks here. The 100+ bought last month figure matches the pace of a couple of other hooks in this lineup but falls well short of the 500 to 1,000+ demand seen on the stronger sellers. That combination, a below-average rating alongside modest recent purchase volume, suggests a functional but less consistently loved product than the top performers in this hook category, worth weighing against its low per-hook cost.
