Size 6 bronze baitholder hooks with two barbs on the shank that keep worms and cut bait from sliding down.
The Eagle Claw 181 Baitholder is a size 6 bronze hook with an offset, curved point and a down-facing eye. Its two shank slices help hold bait in place, and a pack of 10 suits bass anglers fishing live or cut bait. It is a straightforward pick for anyone building a freshwater or saltwater bait fishing setup.
Best for
- Worms and nightcrawlers under a float
- Bottom rigs with cut bait or dough bait
- General bait fishing for small to mid-size fish
Skip if
- You plan to release most fish; a circle hook is swallowed less often
- You fish soft plastics; use a worm hook
Strengths
- Shank barbs hold soft bait in place through the cast
- Down-turned eye suits snelling and simple knots alike
- Offset point helps the hook catch as a fish turns
Trade-offs
- Shank barbs make the hook harder to back out of a deeply hooked fish
- Bronze finish rusts quickly after saltwater use
- Size 6 is small for large catfish or saltwater species
