Baitholder hooks have barbs on the shank to help hold the bait on.  You can also get bait holder circle hooks.  I prefer J hooks for cod and Ling

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.

Use the less expensive Mustad baitholder. Just tossing your money away with Gami's
