So I've never used them before and was wondering what the preferences of the pros here are. Bought my self a proper saltwater set up for the single week of saltwater fishing I do a year and figure I should give live bait a try.
I found these online but not sure if they will work..

Thanks in advance!
If you are using them to catch baitfish, the cheap ($1.99 each) ones from walmart or any other tackle shop work fine. No need to spend a bunch of money on fancy ones, IMO
For small Spanish macs, you need ones with at least 30# or 40# mono droppers.
For the cheap ones, do consider hook size according to the bait you want. For me a #12 is a pretty good size, larger if you want hardtails, smaller if you are looking for small LYs.
I go with the cheapest so when I'm done they go in the trash , They don't last very long after being in saltwater and having those tiny sharp hooks flailing around is a pain , they get everywhere.
Really great advice thanks! I especially like going cheap/disposable. Sucks I'm still a month out from being there...
I like the small red ones at Walmart on 17lb. line $1.16 I think.
It doesn't work well for the pier, but I made one of these for catching bait off the docks in Old River and from my kayak. For those purposes it works like a champ!
