Typical! I did try to find a mixed size pack. I suppose we learn by our mistakes.
I added this link above:
Mike Ladle's Fishing Diary...as it was the original article that got me interested in this, & one of the image pop-up captions mentions a 6/0 hook being used for the large mackeral bait. (Although I'd be inclined to keep a mackeral for personal consumption!

BTW heard last week that the EU have reduced cod quotas but increased mackeral quotas.
