Quick take
High-carbon octopus hooks with two shank barbs that grip soft baits, sized from small panfish to large pike.
Best for
- Drifting or soaking live baitfish in saltwater
- Pike and salmon fishing with live bait
- Bottom rigs in rivers
Skip if
- You release most fish; circle hooks reduce gut-hooking
- You use artificial baits; EWG worm hooks work better
Strengths
- Two shank barbs keep soft baits from sliding during the cast or fight
- Offset point catches in the corner of the mouth for solid hooksets
- High-carbon steel resists bending on powerful runs
Trade-offs
- Shank barbs tear soft baits and make removal hard
- Black nickel finish corrodes quickly in saltwater without rinsing
- Barbs make hooks difficult to remove from hooked fish without injury
Fishing fit
- Species
- Pike & musky
