What kinda hook is this. What is it used for. Is it legal to have a barb on it. Is it hard on the fish. Unscramble this and tie your lure on. LAROMAP.

I have never seen a hook like that before. You do come up with a lot of puzzlers for me Mike. The scramble is Palomar. Love the scrambles. ๐๐
gaff. "Hard on the fish?", I'd say deadly.
Looks like a gaff hook for dealing with monster fish you will not release. Not sure about the regulations concerning the barb, but recommend you check your local rules about them. Palomar is a great knot for certain presentations.

It's a gaff Mike, not sure about the legality of the barb, but I would say that it isn't legal. I have never seen one with a barb until now. You are going to poke a hole in a perfectly good fish, not a good thing to do. Thanks, Mike.

Flying gaff, the head is tied to a line that attached to the boat.

That explains the barb
We use them on shark or tuna
I sometimes use a barbless one on musky I hook them in the mouth and it doesnโt kill them.

Gaff, for bringing in fish so they dont break the line
Looked again, flying gaff for big game fish, detaches from the handle
