Quick take
An 85-hook assortment of circle hooks in multiple sizes for bait fishing in fresh and saltwater.
This Eagle Claw kit packs 85 circle hooks into one pack, so an angler has a range of hooks on hand for live and cut bait. A circle hook's point turns back toward the shank, which keeps the hook at the corner of a fish's mouth as the line stays under steady tension. Suited to spinning and casting setups, it fits anglers from first-timers to experienced ones.
