Quick take
Size 10/0 forged circle hooks designed for catfish that hook in the mouth to enable live release.
A 25-pack of size 10/0 offset octopus circle hooks aimed at big catfish. The closed eye keeps the line knot protected, and the circle shape tends to set in the corner of the mouth, which suits anglers who plan to release what they catch. A large size like this suits cut bait and live bait for trophy-sized fish.
