Quick take
Offset baitholder hooks with double barbs on the shank to secure worms, minnows and soft bait during casting and retrieval.
Octopus baitholder hooks with a double-barbed shank that helps hold worms, minnows, shrimp and cut bait in place. The offset curved point and long shank suit live bait rigs such as bobber, slip sinker and bottom setups. Sizes run from #8 to 5/0, covering panfish, trout, bass, walleye, catfish and striped bass in freshwater lakes, rivers and inshore saltwater.
